Ha ha spent half a day on a door to door sales job once. Never again

Same. Almost got hit by a car. Aggressive Vietnam vet kept pressing me about the company. Wiccan lady with purple hair who must have been like 65 kept trying to get me to come inside. Felt generally uneasy like I might get shot or a dog sicced on me at any moment. Some people took pity on me and bought something, but I could tell I was never making money doing that shyt.

I started a job with 5 of my friends. I was the only one left a week in. Unloading trucks of big carts full of flowers. . Leave the house 4 in the morning to get bussed there. Carts heavy since the flower pots have water in them
There was this rush hour type phase in the process for funeral flowers. Was like a marathon for 30 minutes, left you knocked out afterwards but the regular work starts again right after. During down time, which was almost never, i sat down somewhere once for a few minutes and an older guy came up and said people over there are on the funeral flowers running it's a bad look to sit down. I remember thinking yeah that makes sense but i couldn't give two fukks if they sat down when i'm on the funeral shyts. Crickets went to sleep and birds woke up during my shift. One 20 minute break was all you got. Had to get money for college, what are you gonna do at that age. Paid barely better than say a supermarket job.

Lot of the people there older racists. Always had an attitude like you had no right being there and had to prove yourself.Like it was a slight against them you could work in the same place. Old dude i was teamed up with would always talk about "his country" Remember thinking you in a dead end job you own no part of this country. Did get to see him bust his ass once trying to prove how hard he could work. He was running, stumbled and the cart full of flowers he was pulling landed on him. All that flower water on him and he was bloodied up on the face and hands.

When I was home for the summer from college...a playa was trying to get some work to get bread to buy fresh gear..some timbs...to look fly going back to school
Searching for jobs online wasnt really the wave so I was checking the daily news and the post. The post (I should have known not to trust the post) had an ad for customer service...im like bet...all i gotta do is be nice on the phone...sit in a office with AC...prolly got some pretty joints...im in

I lived in the bronx...this job was somewhere deeeeep in queens...I dont remember if it was flushing or what but it was crazy far. I get there and it was a room..no decor....just a room with a make shift desk for a "receptionist" and a room full of nikkas wearing they sunday best...shyt looked real fishy :patrice:
so they rounded us up...and said go in the room...

I walk in....and im like OH HELL NAH

anyone from NY will know what I mean...all I saw was books...and book and trinkets that you would see on vendors on 125th street selling. This customer service job was a ploy to get cats to sell books in BK...this dude next to me (prolly a poster on the Coli..you know who you are) was like yo...they got us....i said fukk that...ill go along so they can pay for me to get on the train..after that..im going to go home.

they tricked me! the dude next to me fronted and stuck with the scammer and took the train ride to bk to sell books...im not going to college to be no street vendor

"There willl be times where you have to take a mental health day to get away from the stress"

Any job that tells you that is a sign to get your resume together. Currently having to deal with complicated legal work on a production quota. This spot got a dedicated office that goes back and checks your work every two weeks and if you fukk up, you get error points that affects your performance and pay. Even when you take off, all those backlogged cases will be waiting on your ass when you get back.

If you ever get a job with the feds where you dealing with cases (Social Security, VA, IRS and USCIS) be ready to leave because that shyt will burn you out with them caseloads. Them joints tax the fukk outta your mind and many folks have had strokes and heart attacks over the work.

Took a sales job one time for a cable company but via third party. shyt was a pyramid scheme. They had these people hustling and busting ass for 2 of the folks in the office to reap all the rewards. Old white bytch who owned the company showing up ready to go drinking and dancing in the morning. She didn't have shyt to do.

My trainer was busting his ass making sales to only get 35% of the cut. Hours were irregular extended and unpaid if you didn't make sales. They had these dumb ass employees travelling on their own dime to small towns renting hotels to sell cable :laff:. I peeped all of this first day. Then my trainer told me he had to work at the supermarket on the weekend to make ends meet after a full time week job. I damn near laughed in his face. I never went back.

Til this day I don’t know how my fat ass did it:mjlol:
We had practice runs the day before but still:russ:
I’m not religious but every time I’ve been desperate
I make it through:wow:
If god is real
Like my ma dukes says
He takes care of babies and fools:wow:
Um. That's because you didn't. It's impossible to run EIGHT miles in 15 minutes. The only thing I believe about your story is that you're fat. A fit person would know what you said doesn't make any sense.

The Crossroads
Mane, I was 18 fresh outta Highschool and had decided to apply to a temp agency to pick up a few sills, before I went all-in with this 4 year apprenticeship program.
So, like a couple days later this Roofing company (Great company btw) hired ya boy. Fast forward to day 1..they had me working with this old frail dude, going around fetching ladders, talking to tenants and shyt. At first I was like "cool, it's just a the 1st day, we good". Now fast forward to Week 2..nikkas had me doing everything from scaling the inside of a 20 story high rise to cleaning gutters of some of the most ghetto & depressing ass apartment complexes I ever seen.

Now, I know what you thinking, "But all of that's par for the course, you just starting out". These are facts, but they never formally trained me. They didn't even give me a safety harness, I had to borrow one from my coworkers (Who I still suspect was a racist). So, anyway, I started the 1st week of May and left the 2nd week of Friday. (2016)

The bread was good, but fukk em' :mjlol:

After leaving my job as a bill collector I started to run out of money so I looked in the classified ads and the first thing that caught my eye was an ad that said $2000 a week...of course I already broke out that calculator and got all excited. I got suited and booted, went to the office, and the red flags started flying; it was in some old ass building and the interview process was just too easy.

So I made it to the first day and it seemed mad cultist, the first day they played a gang of pop songs(I remember Toxic by Britney Spears :mjlol:) to get everyone hyped up, and then the spiel...it was a door to door sales job :beli: I was willing to give it a chance until they mentioned that you don't make anything unless you follow through with a complete appointment. We all hop in the van and walk around a neighborhood aimlessly, and they show what we had to do... shyt was like one of them informercials :snoop: had to clean a whole section of their house and shyt...and we had to be suited up too. I dipped after two days, pissed as fukk.
I did that job for two weeks and only makes like $35. That was the ultimate hustle. Walked so much my shoes had holes in them and I didn’t make enough to even replace them. Good lord I wish I would’ve left after the interview. fukking cock suckers.
