    If anyone here is going through a rough patch in their current job, you might want to consider looking into . Not only are these roles often more stable, but they also come with benefits and generally have a better work-life balance compared to the private sector.

    Definitely a bot.

    I worked cleaning up a construction site for one day in 1991 to buy a ticket for the first Lollapalooza.

    Warehouse job packing dog food. Worst of it was the swollen hands, but it kept me pretty active.

    Was it an allergy thing or swollen from over use? I’ve had the latter before and it sucks.

    Swollen from over use. I had to use my hands to beat the bags of food into boxes.

    Oh yes. :) One good thing about cops. They get to retire early. One bad thing about cops - a surprisingly large amount of them don’t make it past five years in the sunny uplands. All that shift work and 3am takeaways exact their toll I guess. I’m into extra time already… :)

    Oof I can imagine. But at least you got to retire early :) it’s still some time before I’m able to retire.

    (Warning - some offensive language ahead, but only in context of what was said.)

    Playing a regular gig at this one restauraunt from 2013-2015. 3 years of hell. The boss was a complete and utter tosser and a huge bigot - basically Archie Bunker but far worse. For instance, he had "pet names" for everyone, including the Black waitress (I dare not repeat the word here), the bartender (the "blonde slut"), and I was the "idiot savant" due to me having mild Autism.

    And even worse is he'd make the customers at the bar laugh by referring to us as these names. One day while on break, he was talking at the bar about how he "gave Jim, the idiot savant over there at the keys, a job, because I felt sorry for him", and I sarcastically said, "Yeah, good thing this miserable (Italian slur) gave an idiot like me a job, or I'd simply sit home and drool on myself." (The boss was Italian.) Funny how he never used the "pet names" ever since that.

    I finally quit in 2015. The restaurant has since shuttered down in 2016 last I heard. Gee I wonder why.

    That said, compare that to my current residency, and it's a complete 180. My current bosses are possibly two of the nicest human beings. Nice husband and wife team. And with wonderful coworkers.

    Glad you were able to pivot into a much better situation. That sounds absolutely horrible and he sounds like a piss poor person too. 🤬

    Do you get a lot of paid gigs? Like so many musicians I have fallen into the trap of getting into another career that pays way more than I could ever earn from music, so I haven’t played live for years.

    Ugh miserable people like that are the worst. Glad you left that asshole behind. I’m sure he’ll get what’s coming to him eventually.

    @Poppadocrock check whatever state you're in for a Workforce Commission type gov agency. They usually have a nice list of "contractor" vs "employee", and once you know you can get that whole place shut down (for illegally labeling/paying you as "contractor"), exploit them back first.

  • FingolfinzzFingolfinzz

    Damn, some of these gig stories sound terrible lol. I think my worst gig was just when I had to do the sound for my own band cos the sound guy was too busy hitting on girls at the bar so I’ve lucked out on that end

    Most companies know how to play the system though - they make sure that they let contractors go before the 2 year threshold set by CA law, have policies in place to ensure that contractors don’t get any benefits that might be interpreted as employee benefits, and ensure that managers get co-employment risk training to recognize the ‘risk’ of treating contractors too good.
