Good And Bad Employers - Most Of Us Have Had Them
Work love it or hate it? What was your experience?
What was your opinion of some of your bosses? Were they good or unpleasant? Were you ever sacked? Did you ever choose to be self employed? What was your best job, worst job.? What was your work experience like?
Some animals enjoy work, and other animals are trained in a cruel manner in circuses.
I found an interesting video that was an amazing story of a guy who was sacked, and it made me think of the saying…Revenge is a dish best served cold…so true!
Boss Fired Me After 17 Years With No Warning; But I Knew Something They Didn't...
About half of our lives is spent working, best to pick a career wisely. My worst job was as a waitress, my best self employed as an artist…I worked hard and my success was like treading on air, running at full speed…a great success.
When I first hit the job market, I was a Saturday Girl in a hairdresser. I was still at school.
I loved that job. They were a good crowd of girls and the boss was very good.
I always jumped to obey, cleaning mirrors, shampooing, running round. I enjoyed the first day so much I forgot to take my pay home. It was the time of the Twist and the girls at the hairdressers were all into the great music of that time. That was a great era, got my hair done at my Saturday job, I had a little money and enjoyed spending it.
My work days were somewhat chequered at the beginning. Work was hard to find.
I left school early with quite a poor education, after not a very happy home life; that was due to a new step father and difficult mother.
I was sitting on a door step homeless. A young man approached and I went for a drink with him. He lived in a large house and said I could stay there. There were three teens living there, my age, and their mother, a film director, was away filming. When she returned, she gave me a job cooking an evening meal, and I had an evening job as a waitress. That didn’t last that long as a waitress. I got the sack. LOL.
After a while, I picked a job from a newspaper in Italy teaching two Italian children English…The father was American and the mother Italian. They didn’t speak English to their father, a rich business man in America, with a beautiful apartment in Rome and a house on Nantucket island. It was the top job in the agency and I got it. I went to learn Italian when the children were at school, was pulled out of the class as they needed English teachers, did a one months course and so after nearly two years in Rome, began a teaching career.
I took part in a movie with the film director that I kept in touch with. It was a film about narrow boats, so my love of boats began.
