What would you like for everyone to know about the type of job you have?

Well since I’ve been mostly in customer service jobs I’d like for people to know that the reps don’t make the rules or decisions. When there is something about a store or service that’s undesirable such as prices then it’s something to bring up to upper management or just let them lose you as a customer. But you can be as nice to the reps as they are to you.

Electrical engineer. You can’t develop and ship an iPhone in a year. Apple has multiple generations under development at the same time.

Woa. OK

This is makes sense, and is also how iOS can be so optimized for the hardware.

They lock down the hardware of the phone way early, giving them a lot of time to port/update the software and polish it like crazy.

I mean, they also have to figure out how to manufacture like 240 MILLION phones or roughly 1 every 130milliseconds.

The design is likely locked in around a year in advance, and the remainder of the year is spinning up production and actually manufacturing the phones.

As a funeral director, I’m not trying to upsell you into a nicer casket or talk you into something you don’t want. I’m just trying to help you get through it and be happy with the decisions you made.

Retail employee.

Technically speaking there’s not that much stopping me from slapping the shit out of you.

I’m a mechanic.

At any given point in time, I can clock out for my lunch break and walk out of the parking lot and I am no longer an employee of my company at that time. The big-ass prybar in my toolbox also isn’t company property.

I haven’t had a situation yet where I’ve had to make use of that ability, but I have had to bring up its possibility once or twice.

And that’s only because I actually value my job. If I didn’t like my job there’s really nothing stopping me from throwing some hands at a shitty customer other than police action, and to be honest, the cops don’t really like to come around the area where I work very often.

More people need to be just a little bit more afraid of service workers. Treat us nice and we’ll treat you nice. But treat us like shit and we don’t really have all that far to fall if we decide you’re the hill worth dying on. I’ve been really damn tempted to just beat the fuck out of an asshole customer before and while I’ve never done it, I know a lot of folks in my industry with a lot less restraint than me.

YES WE DID TEACH YOU THAT

If you can look people in the eye and make them laugh, while also maintaining relationships long term: You will likely make the most money and have the best life in sales, regardless of industry.

As a welder, quality doesn’t come cheap or fast. A lot of work goes into my work. Even if all I’m doing is welding Part A to Part B, a lot of research, prep, and planning goes into it.

I need to know what the base material is, the base metal thickness, I need to clean the HAZ, I need to protect everything near the HAZ. I need to actually weld it and clean it for repaint.

A good welder plans to have their welds last the lifespan of the thing being welded on. If I’m welding a car frame together, I’m going to make damn sure they’re good long-lasting welds that resist corrosion. Those welds will outlive the car itself.
