Funny Spot 2.0
This entry was originally posted at Roaming Seattlite. For more information see Uh, the other blog..
This is probably a funny spot to start a blog, but I'll start it here anyway.
On Friday, I was terminated from Starbucks Coffee Company. The store I was at had a pretty strong three times late and you're terminated policy...
Friday wasn't the best day I've ever had. (nor was it the worst)
At the moment I think I'll be fine, Starbucks's pension for only scheduling people the minimal number of hours kindof worked in my favor as I already snagged myself a second job at Target overnight.
But really I'm kind of interested in the employer-employee relationship right now. What strikes me is how both tend to treat the other like shit. This isn't to say that every employer treats its employees like shit, and every employee treats their employer like shit, but overall it doesn't seem to be a happy relationship.
I've left a few employers that I've been unhappy with not not quite great terms, but this is the first time I think I've ever gotten it the other way. (Although there have been a few times that we both weren't on good terms.)
So the next part (well actually one of the first steps) of what I'm calling Seattle 2.0 is going to involve putting in a full blown search for a job that uses my degree... Honestly thats a job that I'm a bit weary of... Perhaps I'll find a better place to have a relationship with..
I'm sorry to hear about your employment situation but I'm glad you're looking at it as an opportunity to use your talents from your degree.
