Entry

>Who else here has worked at a shitty entry level job? What did you learn from your experience?
That the bosses don't really give a rip if you complain, you have to direct all your opinions to the manager -- the very guy who hired those people and were protecting them from the doing any actual work because they were his neighbors.
Don't pip a squeak, don't do more than you need to do, and don't complain because 90% of the time the manager won't listen to you. The whole gig is a system, where you are a cog, unable express any sort of agency. People don't fail, the systems fail. If you do more work than you should, then the manager will reap the praise and get promoted, not you. If you do less work than you should, then the manager will harass you for not meeting deadlines. Everything becomes a game of unquestionable loyalty, and promotions are based on seniority.
Granted, I shouldn't have been a warehouse laborer with a STEM degree from a somewhat reputable university, when my manager was a community college graduate.
