This comment reeks of the fact that she has never truly worked an office job a day in her life. A 22-ish person fresh out of college has enough experience to have the respect of her boss? Roughly a year in an office job does not translate to "experience".

Am I your coworker? 🥺😆 Seriously it’s such a pain point for me and I’m planning on asking for a title change/raise at my upcoming performance review

[umhowabout_no]

Ty bb! 😭 Hoping for better things for your coworker too ✊🏼

[saintclaire87]

It killed me when I’d see receptionist positions that are in reality full blown office manager positions including cleaning toilets and it paid like $12/hr.

[dolce_piccante]

Completely agree!!

That's basically what one of my old jobs was! I cleaned the bathrooms, took out the business trash, picked up after the people who worked there (25-36 year olds btw who couldn't even rinse their coffee cups), vacumming, and more all while opening the office on time, scanning, making appts, filing, etc. I was only paid $10 an hour to do it, too. Ten dollars was the better end of the deal for receptionists at that time. Most businesses around here want to start people at 9 and this is an expensive as fuck area.

Oh I know exactly what you mean. I did many office jobs where I was doing cleaning along with keeping the place running and made peanuts. I remember when I got my current job and realized I have a reception staff (and I don’t have to be the one to deal with all the front desk/random call/copies shit) and it took me legit six months in my role to shake the anxiety I had about not doing literally every aspect of all jobs because I was so used to it.

A recruiter emailed me a position at working at the local airport where you'd handle luggage, clean floors and bathrooms, and a bunch of other shit for 8.50$ an hour.

You are seriously wrecking someone's body for 8.50$/hr. I hate America.

[dolce_piccante]

8.50!? Ughhhh hate it!

[sandstorm]

I don't mind physical work and it was part time (this was pre-pandemic lol) but BUDDY, you'd have to start at about 20$/hr. It would take me more than 8.50$ worth of gas to even GET to our airport!

I remember interviewing for a bogus receptionist job probably 10 years ago at this shady real estate place. Job included all office tasks, sales and cold calls!, cleaning the entire office every shift. In the talk with the owner, he said the position paid $8/hr and I couldn’t control myself saying “$8!?” out loud lol I was so desperate at the time but that was even too much for me. He claimed that if I was good at the job, I’d make a great commission, that the $8 was to keep gas in the tank. I was like lol ok bye.

Comment twins! It's fucking insane.

I graduated with an mfa at 27, and wound up working at a movie theater for a year. One of the supervisors was delighted by my misfortune and told everybody I had an mfa and often told me how fine arts degrees were indeed useless. But another lady I worked with had a nursing degree, and one guy had a degree in computer science. The economy was shit.
