There are worse things in the world than Entitlement. Desperation is the first thing that comes to mind. On Tuesday July 23rd at 1:30 PM I attended an Interview at Wal-Mart on millennium Parkway in Belleville Ontario. This was to work for a merchandising company called TNG.
I wasn’t even sure I wanted to attend this interview. Despite meeting Jonathan and him being an ok dude. I just don’t think interviewing for a 3 hour a week job is worth it. In this job? Where 60% (on the low end) of my income was actually probably going to go to supporting the job. YIKES!
Looking back I wish I hadn’t of attended. Cause had I known this nothing position was going to have a competitive interview process? I would not of attended. It was utterly a waste of my time. I was competing for a $90 paycheck. Why would I do this?
If you get an interview for TNG Merchandising? Please consider not showing up. This is wrong. There should be some limit to what we are willing to do for small rewards. If there isn’t? Then we have no dignity and if we have no dignity. There is no point in working. We may as well go sit up on the curb and beg! Which wouldn’t be new for the Belleville Wal-Mart anyways.
This aspect rubbed me the wrong way: The lead Merchandiser for Belleville self-describes babysitting Merchandisers. You don’t pay people enough for quality work. So if you aren’t getting it? I guess it sucks to be you. Really I think Wal-Mart should just absorb what you are doing and eliminate the use of your pointless company. That is just me though. A Business student who sees an entirely pointless operation and says ‘Cut it because there is no need for it.” You could have Wal-Mart people absorb these duties with no issue. At Best Buy they did their own Merchandising Displays.
Purpose of Post: This blog acts as a mental health journal at times. The Purpose of this post? Is to make sure I am not wasting my time with pointless work. I may have a spotted past with my blood brother Kyle. One thing he was right about? I waste my energy on pointless tasks that have small rewards. He has told me to stop doing this and have some self-respect for a long time. This blog will act as a reminder to get on a pathway to self-respect.
It’s just this was so personally degrading to me. A New low was reached.
For The Love of Belleville.
