Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Cute, punny, whatever have you! I prefer no underscores if possible.

I mostly make sure the machines are running correctly and routinely test the product for quality control purposes. It's not particularly labor intensive and only a couple of positions at my factory actually involve much heavy lifting tbh. Even when I first started and was doing the base linework job I made $13+ per hour: sooo much better than min wage and dealing with customers. Plus I get holidays off, paid! I about cried when I first realized that. I won't exit my house for literally anything until the monday morning after thanksgiving these days.

they're nice and it's them tagging into me more often than not, but they're one of those people that shoot down my ideas without giving me anything back to work with instead, so threads are awkward. that and flaking.

i'd talk about it but it's not anything serious and i'm going to keep playing. i just had to let the feeling out.

i work in a call center. it's the most soul deadening thing you can imagine. i desperately want another job but my degree is useless and retail would be a step down in pay that i truly cant afford.

holy crap anon i need to find me this factory, i've been a retail supervisor for 5+ years now and only last year's "raise" got me finally making over $11 an hour. course, my particular company is notorious for crap wages even in retail but at the time it was better than the nothing i was making before.

28

3, counting my work study in college where i worked in the cafeteria. 1 is my current job; asfor the 3rd one, for a few months 2 years ago, i got the overnight shift at a 24 hour wawa. i quit after too many mornings driving home in tears and feeling dead inside. combination of feeling tired af, lonely, and frustrated by the overnight manager being useless. this all on top of having depression. honestly i just feel proud of myself for actually recognizing how unhealthy it was for me, mentally, since i usually have a difficult time calling it quits on anything.

Definitely look into local factories, anon! I think the lowest paying one around where I live is $12/hour starting, or at least it was when I was looking for jobs after my move. Most of them aren't going to require previous factory experience either. It's still a lot of standing on your feet all day, but as long as I don't have to do that while also aggressively fake-smiling at customers and trying to shill a rewards/credit card, I'm happy. Factory work gets a weirdly bad rep, especially considering that it usually provides livable wages and full time hours/benefits, as opposed to retail. It's not going to make you rich or anything, but it's not bad work for someone without a degree or anything.

I hope your experience is different from mine, but be aware that the department itself is going to severely limit you in any good you're able to do and will likely have draconian policies that actually prevent you from helping people.

(I got written up once for giving an elderly woman a ride home in 105 degree heat when I saw her carrying grocery bags on foot. "We're not a taxi service!" was the chewing out I got.)

I also got death threats from fellow officers and people failing to back me up because I reported a case of abuse of a handcuffed prisoner. The officer who did it lied and claimed the prisoner wasn't handcuffed and was a danger. The truth eventually came out. It didn't take away the fact that I nearly got killed by a convicted felon because someone in dispatch who was on the side of the abuser kept covering traffic every time I tried to radio in my location.

I stayed through all of that bullshit. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was being asked to tear up tickets for a doctor friend of my new shift sergeant. I realized that it was always going to be a case of having to turn a blind eye or actually being expected to do shady shit just to stay alive in that job, and it was not at all worth it.

It's not the criminals who will drive you out of that job. It's your fellow officers and supervisors. Not everyone in the department was corrupt. Enough of them were to make me believe one person is more likely to get absorbed in the corruption, killed, or driven out than make any kind of difference in the long run. Good luck. You'll need it.

The night terrors are the worst. Never had them before getting that job, still have them to this day. And just the things you see that you will never be able to unsee. How little anything you do actually makes a difference. How much suffering is out there, and how much of a callous shitheel you have to become just to cope with it.

i work retail. i don't mind it, surprisingly enough. naturally there are days i want to just sleep in and not have to deal with customers/co-workers, but i feel it's manageable.

am getting transferred to a new store soon so hopefully atmosphere isn't unbearable!

They literally said they were not in a relationship nor were they friends so we did know the relationship between them. It was nonexistent.

Try to learn how to read and then come back when you've pulled your head out of your ass.
