I've heard that working at the warehouses can be brutal but I don't think I've heard anything about a corporate position. I am looking for a different job but I don't think I could take that drastic of a pay cut like you did. That's mostly because I'm married, have a child due in June '18, and will be moving into a bigger place. You don't seem to have that many responsibilities so I guess you won't hurt as much. It was just a seasonal warehouse gig. When I went to the interview they said there would be the possibility of two other days of mandatory overtime. I figured that meant once a month or so I might work an extra day. When I went to orientation they flat out said we would be working 6 days a week for the full season, and not just the holiday season it extended further than that. I felt a little lied to and I was not prepared to work that much so I took a job at Kroger where I have worked previously. man, I had the exact opposite experience a couple months ago: I was interviewed for a "casual" position, but they used the phrase "lots of hours" several times during the interview when I asked how many hours I could expect, and they used an example of someone who was recently hired who supposedly got 76 hours' pay on her first paycheck. I was thinking "sweet" in my first week, I had like 10 hours of work. second week I had ~16. it was some serious bullshit. the higher-ups were awful at giving clear instructions too --- peanut butter and dick <cite>averagejoel posted [p:891398095] in I quit a j...
