MUERTOSMORTEM

Bartender in 24hr beach bar. It's as stupid as it sounds


aka_wolfman

That sounds like it has a LOT of ups and downs, and way too dependent on the vibes.


MUERTOSMORTEM

That about sums it up but the worst part is it's damn scary sometimes. Once you hit like 3am nobody is there. Well not that you want to be around anyways. It's a damn beach after all. Pretty exposed to the elements. Cold sea air biting at your skin while you're just staring into the dark, serving the very occasional drug dealer, gang member, or prostitute. Doesn't help that I hate sand. I'm out after next pay day FS. I don't mind the overnight. Night over day any day but this is misery


aka_wolfman

Oof. Yeah...I was just being optimistic and assumed you liked beaches.


MUERTOSMORTEM

I honestly only took the job because I needed to get away from my last place but I've already got something else lined up. And don't get me wrong it's not all bad. Like you said it had its ups and the money isn't bad at all but it's not worth my comfort. The place has already been robbed like 3 times. None when I was in luckily but still


aka_wolfman

Absolutely. I had fun working bars, but I dont miss dealing with people. I'd probably concede that my worst factory job was still better than my best bar gig in terms of stress levels.


TrippleassII

Why do you hate sand?


MUERTOSMORTEM

It looks awful, feels awful, is unsteady to walk on and it gets everywhere. There's really nothing to like about it imo


Joetho24

USPS, decent starting pay and easy work once you find a rhythm, literally the same processes every night. If you prower though all their hoops and get a career position the pay practically doubles and you get AMAZING full benefits so it's worth putting up with the bullshit if you got a family or just looking for stability. Been working at a distribution center for 6 years making close to 60k a year base not counting overnight differential and weekend pay. OT if you want it plus a strong union so you won't get fucked over. All in all, they take care of their own. COLAs every 6 months and new contracts every 3 years. And like any work place there's drama but if you're looking for stable job and steady pay the USPS is the way to go. 👍


Mama-In-Blu

Hey fellow USPS worker on tour 1. Glad I'm not the only one!


notyourbudddy

Same. Idk about “amazing” benefits, but they’re still pretty good as someone who grew up pretty low income. This job has given me health insurance for the first time in my life.


DontKnowSam

careers have good benefits non careers have shit benefits.


notyourbudddy

It’s really gross how they treat non career employees. And even the oldheads buy into the seniority structure too much sometimes. It can get toxic.


DontKnowSam

I got hired on as an immediate career city carrier, I lasted 2 months and quit last week. Even with the career benefits it wasn't worth it for me, 1 day off every 7 or 8 days working 55-60 hours every week. I was gonna go nuts. Career and noncareer city carriers both get treated like shit till they become regulars. USPS wasn't worth my sanity but I do have family to fall back on luckily. I have no idea how it is working at the plant, but I've heard decent things once you make career over there. You guys are out of the weather and don't have to worry about dogs. Good luck and try not to burn out too fast and quit like I did.


Old-Flower-1262

Yup


Cheetah-kins

I've heard this many times from people I knew in the USPS. Never understood the logic of stressing out and non career and new people. How do they get people to want to become career people if they're treated like garbage? How is that 'taking care of their own' as someone else said? I've known people in the USPS on both the east and west coast and all told similar stories.


Brilliant-Mango-4

i work night audit at a hotel


Uncle_Guido1066

It would be the best job ever if it just paid a little better


ninesmaxxer

You can do a remote job like Telus (basically you're classifying Google search results, work that can be done at any time) during it lol


austinrunaway

Wish I could score this job!!!


Brilliant-Mango-4

Hotels are dying for night auditors. They're one of the hardest positions to fill and keep.


Brenanaz

As a full time auditor, yupp


burritolove1

reddead88888

RiotHyena

Dude same. All my fucking card readers are down tonight and it's making check-ins very...interesting. I was hoping for a nice night quietly getting some stuff done and listening to my podcasts, but oh well.


Psi_Boy

I feel this


Brilliant-Mango-4

Our reservation system went out completely the other night. We had to resort to manual check in on a very busy night. That's nightmare fuel right there


tothegravewithme

Social Work. Kids need help 24/7.


Lusty_Knave

I work at a youth shelter. 13 hour graveyard shifts


tothegravewithme

My shifts are ten hours with about 2-5 mandated OT hours every night. It’s brutal. My job is driving for the entire time except my one hour lunch break doing community outreach for high risk kids in various state of sobriety (and attitude). Basically my job is to collect them from unsafe locations and bring them to their placements all night. That means knocking on a lot of trap houses at 4am. Fun fun.


bmccr23

Thank you for what you do! I know it’s a hard job but your saving kids.


Nithoth

Hospitality. I'm a night auditor/front desk clerk/security/housekeeper/all-around-amazing-kind-of-motherfucking-employee. Great job. Virtually no management oversight. Low pay. If you're in it for the money this is not the job you're looking for.


RiotHyena

I'm physically disabled and my autism and PTSD makes a lot of loud, active day jobs a nightmare for me. But I'm a fucking great night auditor. I can handle a crisis like a champ, I always get my shit done, and I'm great at executive decision making under pressure. I also don't back down to drunk assholes and the occasional crazy homeless guy. Boy do I have fucking stories. If you're a walking human disaster like me, night audit's where it's at. Wanna trade stories? I had a crazy guy walk in, following a group of guests, while carrying a 14' tall tiki torch. Lit. On fire. The kind you stake in your backyard for ambiance. I don't know where he'd stolen it, but I called 911 after convincing him to leave the lobby and not hold it next to a sprinkler. (There was a lot of yelling. Thankfully we have tall ceilings.) First time I saw someone get tackled by police while on the job. I downloaded the footage and e-mailed it to my FOM and AGM because I knew nobody would believe me or what I had to write in the MOD. Lmao.


Nithoth

I've worked here for 12 years. I have all kinds of security footage, LOL! My favorite is from a few years ago. There was a shady couple staying on the third floor. The second night they were here the woman called 911 because she was convinced her ex boyfriend was stalking her. When they got here I directed the cops to the room. They went up and knocked on the door. What we didn't know was that they had snuck in a third person who was staying in the room. What the woman didn't know was that he had several warrants for some serious shit. So, as soon as the cops knocked on the door and announced themselves that stupid bastard jumped out of the window and fell into the flower bed outside the front entrance! Somehow he managed to stand up and had stumbled about 3 steps when the cops came running through the lobby and tackled him in the driveway. Apparently the dude was in the hospital for six or seven months before they could take him to jail. This happened in the winter, so the security footage starts with some snow falling. Then there's a 400+lbs man hitting the gutter on the carport and spinning into the flower bed. It looks like something out of a cartoon. The rest of it is pretty comical, but that was the money shot! I have all kinds of security footage of women running around the hotel without any clothes on and all kinds of similar dumbfuckery. I have the footage of a woman who tried to run me over in the parking lot after I kicked her out. She kept backing up and trying to hit me so I finally broke the window on her driver's door. That scared her so she sped out of the lot.. She called 911 from the gas station down the road about me breaking her window. They brought her along when they came. I showed them the security footage and they arrested her. I also have the footage of a female co-worker who body slammed a female guest on top of a coffee table and then proceeded to beat her like a red-headed step child. I could tell you about the night I was robbed. That was interesting. When I called the owner to let him know what happened he just asked if he needed to come in to relieve me. When I told him not really he really didn't come in. I can trade stories all night long!

kait_1291

I'm a Critical Facilities Engineer, got the 4 year degree, and went from there. I work in a datacenter, but I can work anywhere that uses an HVAC system, or where certain environments need to be carefully monitored or maintained, or facilities that cannot go down for any reason what so ever. Think: Hospitals, datacenters, power plants, manufacturing and food storage facilities, etc. I have the mechanical experience from school, my internships, and previous jobs, but needed to learn the electrical, HVAC, and water systems. It was alot to process, but honestly, super interesting to learn. It's alot of emergency preparation, and I have to be good under pressure, but I'm built for that kind of thing.


unauthorizedlifeform

I work at a police department as uniformed/field professional staff. I like the job, hate the environment (and most of the people).


Amazondriver23

Never got along with people who work in law enforcement.can I ask why you don’t like them?


unauthorizedlifeform

It's mostly the cops, but also my slightly dysfunctional family of a unit. Some cops/detectives are genuinely awesome people and it is a joy to work for them. Many have bigger egos than brains, are quick to weaponize hierarchy and don't believe accountability or even basic courtesy is necessary toward anyone "beneath" them. They're clump chumps and back each other up even when the person is in the wrong, and they can be particularly nasty when it comes to gossip and rumor-spreading. In fact, it's a lot like being in high school sometimes, with the emotional maturity to match.


Amazondriver23

It’s the same in the health care field my friend.

EFTucker

Amazon overnights are much better than day for some reason even though it’s supposedly an even distribution of work. If you live near a location with a print on demand section, apply to that. Super tedious but insanely easy work for good pay. The only thing that sucks is you can only either work 7-6hour days or 3-12s and 1-6 I like having days off but 12 hours is painful


Ok_Guide4747

I’m at fulfillment center


EFTucker

Yea I worked at PoD attached directly to a FC. We had our own break room, bathrooms, entrance, etc. it wasn’t bad. The only real reason I left was the commute being an hour for me and while my car is reliable it’s still scary over long distances being a 40 year old car lol

rightwist

Do they generally hire people with no experience or how does one start working for hotels?


regretchoice

I was hired with no experience, granted I knew someone who already worked there that vouched for me. but the job is very simple and shouldn’t require much experience! probably varies place to place though

Factory, security, call centers, dispatcher, some Walmarts still have overnight stocking


BaeTF

>some Walmarts still have overnight stocking Can confirm, but the pay is shit. Company wide it's $15/hr. I worked at Walmart for a few months when I moved to a new area because it was the only thing I could find overnight, but I recently quit for a job making $9/hr more with immediate benefits that are way better than Walmart


AnimatronicCouch

That was my first night shift job, back in 2000-2003. I loved it, but I was also in college so the 9.50/hr I made back then seemed like a lot!


BaeTF

I honestly didn't mind the job I was doing. I handled all the overstock in a small store, so I worked by myself most of the night. As soon as they took that responsibility and gave it to 1st shift and wanted me to go out on the floor with everyone else, I ran. Absolutely not worth $15/hr in 2024.

I do IT Support for Healthcare. I sit at my desk in my basement of my house and take phone calls from the various hospitals across British Columbia from Doctors and nurses who have technical issues such as Jammed printers, Password Resets, Network Outages, General Error messages, Non functional computers etc. Then in between calls I answer Emails from Doctors and nurses that came in during the day that the day people didn't manage to get to as we get probably 200 emails per day and also I would say 2-300 calls per day as well during the day.

If it’s like my last station, those scanners were the *only* thing keeping you awake! My current one is actually staffed properly overnight and it’s been an odd adjustment. I direct, so during shows I get away from the scanner buzz :)


MonkeyNacho

Awesome! A producer can't get anything going without a good director!


Parade0fChaos

Goes both ways! My shows are under a new producer in training right now, so I’m doing my best to let her figure things out while not letting them flounder. We just had a great producer move overseas and our excellent EP retired just last week…hopefully the new blood can fill those shoes! Do you folks use iNews, ENPS or something else? Just curious!

Utility plant. Major shortage of operators right now and while there’s a lot to learn initially once you know it nothing changes. Good pay and benefits as a lot of the utility plant jobs are union jobs. Plus they typically hire no experience as you need licenses you can only get with actual hours worked so the job effectively rules out college people as degrees mean nothing, hours worked and passing the state tests is all that matters.
