How many jobs have you had since HS? Post the employer, and rate them on a scale of 1 to 10. Also state what made you leave.

Me:

First job was Airborne Express as a package handler. I stayed with Airborne Express for 8 years until DHL bought them out.

Rating = 7.5

DHL

I worked with DHL as a P/DC driver for 4 years until they went bankrupt and closed their doors.

8.5

CR England

I worked for them for 3 years. The company itself isn't as bad as everyone says it is. I just HATE OTR. I stayed long enough to find another local job.

Company rating = 6

OTR rating = 3

USPS

Been here 3 years and counting. Plan on retiring here.

9.0

That's a total of 4 jobs in 18 years
 
Graduated in 1970

USMC 7 Contract up
Daylight Donuts 10 Greener pastures boy was I wrong!
AF/Fedex Freight 3 Hated it and starved after last transfer
Tankersley Foods 9 more money
Performance Food Group 9 Moved to OK
Sysco Foods 9 Still here

I've enjoyed all my jobs except FXF, that job sucked beyond belief, Daylight was the greatest and I left for AF, which was awesome, I didn't bargain on Fredex getting their filthy hands on them, Tankersley was my favorite just didn't pay well, I would still be at PFG if they were willing to put a truck in Tulsa, that was an awesome job, I did good coming to Sysco, I'm pretty happy here, nights suck but thats what I have to do now.
 
like Smoov, i'd have to say that most of it is a blur, but some where in there at my earlier years of employment, i was in charge of protecting the clan from the saber-tooth tigers.

i did pretty good too, i would only lose or two of the clan to a tiger once per month...

pretty cool job, paid well in animal skins which came in handy during the colder months.
 
Day after graduation to age 23; Mafia hit man, lol job was a 10. Had to quit do to the witness protection program ;)



OK seriously;
Stock clerk-5 left for more money
Allied Van Lines-8 left for more stable employment
Local Wendy's distributor-9 left because I hated working nights
Third Party Logistics company assigned to a local foodservice company 8-left because the new supervisor(former driver) was a ____ and lost my road route(my money maker)
And now I am with a private, family-owned, foodservice company. I give them a 10. Will most likely retire from here. Got 26 more years till I can retire lol
 
Courtesy Clerk at Safeway..Cool

Correction Officer at local County Jail..Sucked

Summit Windows..Ok

Blue Beacon Truck Wash..Cool

Side note, did both those jobs at the same time.

Wow , we dont have that much time and in between me smoking weed on some of those jobs I can't remember.

There was this one job that promissed me $15 hr and when I got my first paycheck they said they never said that, so i quit right on the spot. 1 down many more too come.
 
in 78 I bought a truck
before I bought the truck I was a waiter in a singles bar
unfortunately after I left the waiter job
the singles bar turned into a gay bar
I would like once again to point out
I WAS NOT THERE WHEN THE BAR TURNED GAY!!!!!
please stop asking!
The Bar's name was "Boodles" when I worked there
They changed the name to "Feathers" later on
Then back to Boodles
Thank You
Sincerely
Smoov

That's why you always make an employer put all promises in writing.

Maybe after you left the women no longer had a reason to go there.
