Screwed Myself By Job Hopping

I get the negativity behind job hoppers, but there’s a reason for it in a lot of cases. It’s called “there’s a lot of very shady, dishonest, trucking companies out there“

Once a company lies to me or willfully rips me off? I start searching for THEIR replacement. Lol

 

Selling New Cars.

 

Walmart.
Security guards.
Furniture salesmen.
Cooks.
Waitresses.
Chambermaids.
Cellphone sales people.
Gas station attendants.
Flaggers.
Lawn care employees.
Telemarketers.

Shall I go on?

 

The latter is a problem, the former, not so much. I expect to get paid, that's the whole point of a job.

 

I had a commander in the army that would do that to me. He would come to me and say "Alright Sergeant, I need you to brief me your mission plan!" So I'd lay out my map across the hood of my humvee and go through my entire mission plan. He'd listen then say "NO, here'swhat you need to do!" Then he'd go through and brief back to me my exact mission plan that I just briefed him word for word then say "See, you gotta think about these things" of course I had to bite my tongue and just reply "yes sir". Then he would go and take credit for my mission success claiming he squared me away.

 

The latter being 99% of the industry.

 

I always did so much better at overseas assignments too. I think it's because there's a lot higher brass at stateside assignments. The highest ranking officer at that little camp overseas with maybe a single brigade and a support battalion is a full bird. While that stateside assignment is a whole city unto itself with a few divisions and general officers. So the result is overseas you just gotta be the hard worker that your leadership can count on to get stuff done and you're golden. Stateside you have a thousand bosses writing you up for the most petty crap. Yeah, I had the same experience. Everyone loves to joke that the fastest way to make E-5 in Korea is to show up as an E-6. I had the opposite experience. I'd get awards and promotions in Korea then redeploy back to the states and get article 15's. Then get deployed where I'd grow the stack on my chest some more plus get all my rank back then back to the states to lose those stripes. Then off to another overseas assignment to earn it all back. Vicious cycle.
