About this listen

 Coworker #1: “My first job was so bad, the break room had ONE fork. ONE. We had to schedule who got to eat salad until one of us finally caved and bought some forks in from home.”Coworker #2: “That’s nothing. At my first place, the AC was broken for two summers in a row. Management’s solution? They handed out paper fans… in July… in TEXAS.”Coworker #3: “Pfft, amateurs.”Coworker #2: “You used to be a secretary, not retail!”Coworker #3: “Yeah, but my old boss used to have us ‘clock out’ for meetings because he said ‘listening isn’t work.’ We had TWO-HOUR meetings… unpaid!”Coworker #4: “Okay, but my first job was at a bakery where the owner had a ‘no sitting’ policy. Even if there were no customers. I once got into trouble for leaning slightly against a counter.”Everyone groans appreciatively.Coworker #5: *Quietly.* “I once had a job where they paid us in store credit. And it was a mattress store.”Stunned silence.Andrew Stella Economics Hygiene & Healthy Living Personal Development Personal Success
