So they are really into the whole “not a business, we’re family” type shit. My boss called me a few times like an hr after work to see what I learned today. I learned that you’re a fuckin asshole w no boundaries dude. Get this, today for morning meeting, he tells us about how “actually, people in poverty are much more similar to wealthy people. And poor and rich people are similar because they’re complacent.” We’re supposed to write down notes smh. Halfway through his dumbass speech, I just started writing up a critique of everything he said. Like sure, inheritance and intergenerational wealth play NO role at all dude, just grind more. What metaphysical bullshit. Tbh if they keep pushing this class collaboration, idealistic view of the world just to act like we need to work harder, I’m gonna look for a new job.

    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.

    Fuck that. Run away now. Sounds like he’s trying to start a cult. Can you get another job within a reasonable time frame?

    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

      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.
