Haha, well that was funny. I've never heard the term beaking, and I thought you meant it in reference to a birds attack.

Anyone who has ever worked at mcdonalds knows... The "team leader" was like 16 when I was 14 working there and they always push you around like they're hotshots.

Oh yes........can't forget that. My Team Leader had a fetish of hitting you in the nuts with his keys.

That guy had issues.

dude... i know a perfect job for you... go work for some unionized company. That's the right place for you. Just beause you're not forklifting on the first night it doesn't mean anything. Did "leo" ever say "you will NEVER touch a fork lift"? Did the job description say you will ONLY forklift? Chances are no.

HAHA I wish, I worked there for 3 and a half years through high school and my first year of college, and only made $8.50 an hour. That was just over a year ago. If it jumped up that much that fast, wowzas. Or I could have been screwed over... story of my life .

Oh well I am on to way better things now

I saw a sign down near 160 ave SW at Dairy Queen that said $12 or something. Times are changing dude

Job description was "loading trucks with a forklift and assisting pallate jack operators in getting merchandise too high"

Leo told me "basically dude, theres people who have been here for years in front of you in line, It could be years before you touched a forklift".

And my team leader had a fetish too... His was trying to loop his foot in my lanyard and pull my keys from my pocket.

I've said before, I didn't mind the work if it had a future to it.

[DoubleLP]

There is a future with the job.........it is just going to take sometime.

you dont walk into a job as a newbie and expect to be the top dog in a matter of a couple of months. There is everyone else ahead of you that has a shot at the position first before you. That is the same everywhere unless you own your own buisness.

True. Herein lies the problem, I wouldn't be there for more then a year probably, and I wouldn't want to do manual labour for that long and end up leaving.

Im considering work as a parts person at a dealership or something. I enjoyed partsource, maybe thats the right job for me until I start my career.

[DoubleLP]

And that is completely understandable. You have to be happy with the job in order to want to stay there long enough to move up the ladder.

Been there done that.

wow this was all just

Bitch bitch bitch
put in place
plut in place
knock down a few pegs
bitch bitch defence bitch
put in place



the bottom line is even if you have your forklift tickets and certs... you will not get trusted IMMEDIATLY on the job site with a piece of machiery like that.... i know a pallet jack could snap a person in half but a fork lift could do a shit load more

the black snot is called "shop oysters" caused by sandblasting/pwodercoating/grinding/ welding fumes get used to them if your in a shop
the acid wash didnt cause it but you were kinda stupid not to ask for a respirator.... even a community one is better then none

the way it sounds you wanna sit on a chair and make cash... not gonna happen... unless you wanna busk on the street or something to that extent

money takes work

I think all of you people bashing this kid are retarded.


Who says you can't make 15/hr if you are 17? I was making that much money when i was 16 .,.. IN BC of all places. I think this kid is SMART for quitting those jobs. He can do much better, especially if he has those certs and experience.

I have quit jobs because they mis represented what the job was. What your told in the interview and what you actually do are two different things. In this job market you can do anything you want. When I was looking for a job after school, I already had a job(a career). I was looking for a better one, I asked my potential employers more questions then they asked me, and the one I eventually chose lied to me to get me in the office. Needless to say I quit that job after 3 months for something better. If an employer is willing to lie to you about what the actual job is to get you in the door, there is a reason. Typically jobs like that have a high turn over rate, and aren't places where you want to be working anyways.

I think all of the people who are knocking this kid are just bitter, and its all of you bitter people that will be filling and sticking with those go-no where jobs.

Props to the kid.
