Obviously, there are shitty parts of jobs that just come along with the work, but where do you draw the line from "part of the job" to "BS you will not put up with".
When I get hired, there a couple of things that I know I won't take kindly to.
-Being forced to suggestive sell even after the customer had already said no. Like those policies where you have to ask at least 3 times before you can give up. Fuck that, if they say no once, I'm not gonna bring it up again.
-Not being allowed to go to the bathroom. Or more specifically, having to wait a long time to get permission to go. A couple of minutes is fine, but there is only so long I can wait...
-Having to be flexable. I shouldn't have to cancel any plans just because they need me all of a sudden. When I'm off, I'm off and shouldn't have to drop everything to work. It doesn't mean I won't come in if they call, but don't expect it. I work to live, not live to work.
Other things I won't put up with are harassment and abuse. Including physical threats from customers, and otherwise dangerous or unsafe working conditions, but I figure that would go without saying.
