But that does not mean someone who stays in a job you don't want or like is unworthy.
I never thought my own dishwashing was demeaning. I did find the assholes who looked down on me to be assholes.
I really hate the "starter job" BULL FUCKING SHIT...... If it is something you don't like, I get that. But who the fuck do you think is dishwashing when the high school or college kids are in school? FYI I actually dishwashed for 7 years, and up until the new owner I enjoyed what I did. I was damned good at it. What I didn't enjoy was attitudes like yours right here.
All you said in this post is that the job sucked. It is a thankless job sure, but you got another job. Truth is if the asshole who fired me had not, I would have been there a lot longer.
Um, HUH?! When did I say any of the shit in your post? Have fun knocking the straw out of that man that has nothing AT ALL to do with the thrust of my post. The woman said something stupid about how some other person couldn't do her job like that even means anything. She couldn't do their job, whoopity-doo! Seriously, just do what you like and pull that stick out of your ass.
No, she told the truth!
Just like I know the place I dishwashed at for 7 years, very few would have lasted at that position for 7 years.
Ever have a pile of pots and pans and Mt Everest sized pile of dishes after an Easter Sunday? One might do that for a day, or a summer, but I did that for 7 years. I can't even begin to think how hard it is to work in a hot field for the same time.

But at 15/16 years old it was about the only choice after years of babysitting. Some of us look at where we are and decide we don't want to stay put.
Who do you think works in such positions when teens and college kids are in school?
