I've worked at so many places (3 jobs at one time to make an rwd conversion for my eclipse, also a dark point in life where the stress almost killed me.) and where I am now, working in a Tuner shop, it's nice to be respected by co-workers and treated like a family member not an employee whose job is to make some corporate suit money.
Well, okay we spend money to corporate suits to stock parts, but my Boss treats us as if we're one giant family, his theory is this "Respect your employees, treat them like you would a brother, and they'll treat you with respect likewise. If they do the work, be flexible, but if they take advantage, then take them out to the woodshed and cut a switch." What? He's from Michigan.
Not all jobs are like this one, and even though the work is excruciatingly hard, between that and classes, and the fact that we're under deadlines, It's worth it to me to be treated like a human being who does her job. Maybe GameStop would make more money if they learned to do that. Ya we don't make a huge lot of money, but we're all here because we love our jobs. Loyalty comes before Money. Something all business's could learn.
