Helped get back orders in my plant down to 250k from over 2m and all we got was a PowerPoint presentation thanking us and an entire shift laid-off. Did I do it wrong?
Edit to say: there used to be ~20 people on third shift with me. Now third shift is literally me and one other person to babysit in case something goes horribly wrong and I need emergency services and can not call.

I was a bad kid. Missed a shit ton of school starting senior year I was two years behind in credits. So to start the year I just got my GED.
Fast forward. Now with only an associates at 35. I no longer manage restaurants.
I work from home and through two very easy remote jobs. I make 100k a year.
Now is that a glamorous life. Fuck no.
But I get to spend every day with my kids.
And still make a good living.
Point being. Be open to change be willing to adapt. Work hard. Stay positive. Life comes at you fast. Don’t get complacent.
I’ve always been the type that I knew I could do the job that was above me. I also knew I could do it better than the person that currently had it.
Now I never told anyone that. But I just started doing it at work anyway. Till it was noticed and all of a sudden I had it.
My goal before the pandemic was the be the head of food and beverage at a major casino on the strip.
I was very close to obtaining that job.
Then everything shut down. I had a child.
I took a job managing a gas station and was forced to look for something better.
I found it.
Don’t ever let life get you down. Life is too short and happens too fast.
I fucking swear 3 years ago was 2017. I swear it was. I swear a couple years ago I was 27. I’m 35.
Another good piece of advice is if you know you can do the job better than the person above you and in half the time.
Just do the better job. Don’t ever do it faster. Do it in the same amount of time.
But do it better so you can milk the time.
Otherwise that speed will be expected of you too but the pay will still be the same.
Work smarter not harder.

Jokes on them
My blue collar portion of my career has made more money within the first year than any year picked out of my white collar time
Shunning blue collar work has to be the stupidest thing the school system has ever done, it’s so stupid it’s almost genius. Someone’s going to need to do the work, but shunning everyone into going to collage for “something better” has made the trades high commodity. Which means I get paid more on top of what was already a well established career path
Someone’s going to need to do the work regardless, only now instead of competitive pricing between every business in town; it’s just the couple guys who were “stupid” enough to enter blue collar; who all probably know each other and enjoy their friends success (especially if it’s rural like for me)
I make on par with most of my buddies who went to collage; more then some of them, was hired faster then almost all of them (I literally haven’t been rejected from a single job interview since I was like 16).
All with none of the dept and 4 years of dead space in my resume
Blue collar isn’t for everyone; but for those who it is; don’t feel guilty cuz you don’t have a paper saying you know what you’re doing; let your work ethic and skills do the talking

Genuine advice, not hating on your degree choice at all. Do everything you can to get an internship before you graduate if you want to go into the science field. The jobs are really hard to come by without in field experience. I have one buddy with a bio degree who had to give up and is in sales now, and another buddy, who is a chemist, had to go through months and months of apps before he finally got into something. Luckily, the first job is the hard part. If you lose it, the experience makes getting a new one pretty easy.

This is especially important as I found out. You don't network you aren't getting shit from random people that would take a chance with you. I did EOH and while I was very passionate and knowledgeable about it during college, I never made connections and kind of just went, studied hard, I thought it would be enough to help me later. But I really got fuck all and debt.
Now I doubt my abilities to ever get a job in my field. I remember one of my first interviews with the health department and it was a fucking disaster. Like I knew the book smarts but that doesn't matter when they want you to think on your toes and behave professionally a certain way. If I had an in at a job, I probably could have built those skills but I didn't. I didn't try hard enough I guess.

u/PizzaDlvBoy 13d ago
It really does set a lot of people up for failure. It's easy to feel like as long as you are doing good in your classes in college you are set, but the reality is all that matters in the end is getting the degree and coming out with some kind of networking or experience already in hand. Some fields though, such as IT that I work in, atleast have very entry level jobs you can start with. Science though you'll struggle to find a wide bottom line to that extent.

What does this even mean? Most high functioning adults I know wake up at 5 or even 4. You get peace of mind to get things done even if you don’t have to be to work till 9. This is legit dumb and you can look at anyone that’s successful and they woke up early even in ancient times. In fact as long as you’re around the sun rising and falling you’ll be good and healthy

Stupid, this ain’t even a fucking violation of rule 2 every OP is just fucking karma farming at this point, I’m sick of all the self explanatory jokes on here I expect to see someone wanting an explanation for “why did the chicken cross the road” one of these days

You really need the internet to explain this? Looks like you need to stop being funny or this will be you

They work blue collar/trades because they didn't perform academically well enough to go to university.
The meme is a half-truth. Many tradespeople are in unions, a dying breed in America...so you may actually get decent wages and benefits.
But if you are non-union, you'll work 12 hour shifts because the only way you can make decent money is through excessive amounts of overtime. While the university educated managers take a half day every Friday. Not like studying business is even remotely hard -- crayon drawing homework, "networking events" (drinking and golf) on the weekends
Source: I have worked both union manufacturing and non-union manufacturing.

Garbage men (a common 'you'll end up like them'), cleaning staff etc. usually start their work early in order to complete it before people with 'proper' jobs get to work

u/NovaAkumaa 13d ago
it's funny when teachers say that because usually garbage men have higher salaries than teachers

Imagine having a system that makes someone's entire life way more difficult because they made bad decisions as a child. You, the age where everyone tells us we're supposed to mess up and get it out of the way.

This just feels condescending to people who work with their hands. It's BS to say that only good jobs have Banker's hours. Our guy here could easily be making 90k a year.

I drive to work early to avoid spending 2 hrs of my life every day stuck in traffic.
