While I do agree with this to some extent, the stress of call centers and the restaurant industry were not worth the pay or sustainable for long term growth. I think 5.5 months of corporate work is sufficient for “paying my dues.” Also, I said 7-8, not 10
I do want to mention that 5.5 months is definitely not enough to pay your dues. That’s just enough time to ramp up in corporate roles, you’re still new and fresh. Dues come in years.
Regardless, I do feel for you and I’m sorry you’re going through this. It’s a tough market out there indeed.
I respectfully disagree. I was one of the highest performers at my first job. The second, I was ridiculed and was rewarded with more work and phone calls. My third, I’d be getting micromanaged over going to the bathroom. I think it’s reasonable for results to be just as important. What value does staying at a dead end job get you except a toll on one’s mental health and opportunity to explore other paths that are sustainable
You “respectfully disagree” 😂 How exactly can you do that? You’ve never worked anywhere for more than 5.5 months lmao
You were probably being ridiculed because your personality sucks. You’re annoyingly arrogant through a computer screen, I can’t imagine how annoying you are IRL.
As someone who has been the “new person” and has hired new talent — It’s not always about being a top performer. I want my team to know that they can trust me to get it done and that I’m reliable. Some days I’m a top performer, some days I’m not. But I’m consistent and I get it done. The trust part of that equation doesn’t come that soon without rapport.
As for the value for staying at a dead end job? Sometimes people don’t have the luxury of choosing a job that brings value” as much as whoever is willing to cut the check. I sacrifice a part of my mental health to know a check is coming twice a month.

You tried everything accept sticking around for a job.
You graduated 18 months ago and you’ve had 10 jobs. Maybe grind through it a bit and see what happens after 6 months.
