My real life job

[Anflex]

Hi guys, im in a bit of an orquad situation in real life at the moment and I'm just looking for some advise really.

Well at my job I feel like I'm picked on because of my age. I'm 17 and most of the people I work with in my department are over 25. I hate my manager because she always gets on my back about every little thing.

I've allready been verbally warned at work for taking a bit longer on my break then I should have, and I'm now facing a written warning, and all I did was buy a drink and stood around talking to one of my mates for five minutes or so when I should have been working. Yet many other of my colleages have done this before and all they got was a slap on the wrist, yet I'm facing disaplinery action?!

It does my head in. I think it's because I'm young, they look at me as if to say "oh he's young, he's a trouble maker" bla bla just because a few of my mates come to where I work to see me and swear bla bla.

I really wana' quit this job so badly, but I don't have another one set up yet.

What would you guys do if in my position? Would you quit and then find another job? Or what? *shrugs*

Don't get me wrong I've got loads of people there I do get on with, but they're the peeps my age. Adults are so dam ignorant and pathetic... they're worse then us youngsters!

Is that a full time job?
Well if I was you I would keep on doing the job unless I have found a job with a better wages or something...
Maybe the adults are training the young workers to work hard
Try and do as well as you can with the job like impressing them
How long have you been working there?

Yes it's a full time job and I've been working there since July 2004.

Hope you have good relationships with the colleagues
Just work hard and one day it will change or if it's a bit too much complaint or quit but that won't be a good idea keep cool

[Anflex]

I try to keep my cool, really I do. But not only do most get on my nerves for telling me what to do all the time, they get on my nerves the way they constantly kiss up to the manager. I don't see why they do though? It's not as if they're gona' get a promotion for backside kissing. Bah!

I think that might be another reason why my Manager nags me and gets on my case so much, because I'm the ONLY, and I stress, ONLY person who doesn't kiss her backside when she walks in the room and I tell her how it is, regardless of wether she agrees or not. I really couldn't give a bobba what she thinks to be honest. lolatme.

well just sùck up one day when you feel good like work really hard and proove to them yuor more than what they think you are. then they'll understand what you're made for

[nvrspk4]

I would say quit. I mean you're 17 anyway it isn't the only source of income that's keeping you alive. But as soon as you quit, make the want ads your friends

[Anflex]

Hmm I really do want to quit, because I want to say "Do you know what? You made me working life hell, always picking on me, always harassing on me, so SCA-REWWWW YOU!" lmao.

But I will miss the peeps I do get on with well.

But if I do quit, I won't be able to pay my phone contract, my internet bill, and I won't be able to afford the car I'm getting in January.
