I was gonna keep ranting about how dumb that Rich v Poor, wealthy v poverty thing was, but I digress, yea I will absolutely keep searching, I like that it’s not 100% bullshit, I really DO help people gain access to free phones w unlimited free text and talk, like I enjoy helping people with that, but Door to Door is stupid and also kinda dangerous. A few times I was knocking on a door to do my job and someone said “get my gun” so I slowly and calmly dipped. Annoying af tho, I’m just tryna do my job, but whatevs, I’m not afraid or anything, just annoyed, like you couldn’t just say “no thanks I’m fine”? Smh, people get on my nerves but it’s only happened twice so far.
When he asked you about what you “learned,” did you give him an answer? I’m genuinely curious to know what you said to him since you wrote a critique of his little spiel.
I should clarify, I have a guy training me, he’s not my boss but he’s the dude sorta in charge of me. He called me not the boss, which seems cucked to me, why do extra work off the clock? Let the boss call. And even then the boss shouldn’t even be calling. IM OFF WORK!
Oh my god, that makes it so much worse! Did you just tell him what the boss wanted to hear or were you honest?
I was a bit of both, I talked about what I learned without mentioning that meeting at all. I made my answers very short tho, to convey how I wanted off the phone
God that would piss me off. What kind of job is this?
A Bullshit job, full stop. I recognize it but just wanna stick around long enough so it doesn’t look bad on a resume. Basically our state is giving away free phones to people receiving Medicaid, food stamps, etc. I’m the unlucky asshole tht has go walk around the hood trying to activate these phones for people. So that means Door-to-door, but at least its free so its not really a salesman thing. I thought it was an office job because they call for business casual dress and I was interviewed for an office job, SURPRISE!!! It’s actually door to door in the dead of Winter!🙁 Well at least they have a book club…. What? Wait a second, your book club ONLY chooses books chosen by the Boss and its all just Self-Help books and grindset books?🤢I think I’m gonna be sick🤮
It’s actually door to door in the dead of Winter!
Shit they do it in Poland too, i can't count how many times i went for a job interview and had to sift though the bog of nonsense to finally get that it's about telemarketing or door to door selling insurances, and it's never in the fucking offer, always "office job", yeah right.
You don’t have to list it on a résumé or as a reference. You were lied to at the interview and that’s enough reason to quit. At will employment works both ways.
True, only thing is I need to find a replacement before I quit. Once I find a new job to replace this one I will not even give 2 weeks notice. I’ll just say I felt very lied to and the company culture was suffocating me.
Yeah, that makes sense. Good luck in quickly finding a replacement!
Sounds like they're trying to weed out anyone willing to stand up for themselves. Just from this alone, I can tell that when they say "Like a family" what they mean is "I'm going to treat you like an abusive parent would and refuse to respect your autonomy or personhood, and threaten you when I don't get my way."
This is probably a good time to look for a new job. A boss who demands all of your time outside of work will only demand more and more of it, and exhaust you more and more, making looking for new work even harder.
Plus when you get a new job, imagine how satisfying it would be when you put in your resignation notice to say that you're quitting solely because of how incompetent and intrusive your boss is.
I’m immediately making it clear that my lies are bullshit, but ones he can’t call me on. Like friend and family birthdays lmao. He can ask and I can come up w a fake name idc
Fuck that. Run away now. Sounds like he's trying to start a cult. Can you get another job within a reasonable time frame?

My boss called me a few times like an hr after work to see what I learned today.
"Am I getting paid for this phone call? No? Ok bye."
From now on I’m just gonna be like my bad fam my phone’s low charge homie, peace
You need to train everybody not to expect you to answer your phone. Ignore it, call back in three hours like "yeah i was busy, do you need something?" Do that a few times, then slowly just stop responding at all. I've ignored my boss's texts for an entire weekend and as soon as I got to work she asked, "did you see my texts" and I replied "yeah, about ten minutes ago when i was getting ready for work" and not even surprised her because this is just what she expects from me now.
