My job digusts me.
 

I got a new job like 2 weeks ago as a sales rep selling Cutco knives, under Vector Marketing. The thing that digusts me the most isn't the past charges of fraud, or the fact that there is an entire community that despises this company, but that when I do a presentation of the knives to people, I am almost required to ask the viewing parties to write down people as referals. It seems so sleazy. I am not a begger. I do not beg for anything. I am probably going to quit.

Seriously, I feel like I need to shower after I do a presentation. It is simply that demeaning to me.

Yes, I will quit.

I'd quit.

Well the thing is, I don't even have to show up to work. But I don't get paid either. And I am already doing a half-ass job.

Then half-half-ass it :)

I keep getting letters from Vector, but they promptly go into my Shredder. Tell your bosses to stop writing me, it's annoying.

quit now !

This is just so ... futile !

Just cut yourself with the knives while your showing them. You'll be able to sue the company most likely for improper training. You'll also have witness's to their neglegance from the showing.

This way you'll be fat paid and won't have to work!!!;)

My kind of advice. Nice.

Too bad the "Contributory Negligence" defense would most likely succeed in that lawsuit.

MonkeyRum, i'll slit my wrists, and if i survive, then I'll sue. And if I don't, I guess it wouldn't matter that much anymore.

Todays law definition:

Contributory Negligence

An injured person's failure to exercise due care, which along with another person's (the defendant's) negligence, contributed to the injury.

Im learning!!!

a kid i know just got a job with the same people. idk if he likes it or not tho.

You can the possibility to make a lot of money, but it isn't for me.

realy if you dont like it quit it, but make sure you have some thing eals lined up,we got enogh bums as it is, lol

if you survive, sue for the knives not being fit for purpose :p

man, every kid in the united states gets a letter from vector around hs grad or while in college...everyone!

why did you take the job on in the first place?

my first though is money!
lol

So is mine, but I would have found out what the job entailed first.

i think this are lessons we learn, some times we take a job thinking its going to be greate,just to find out it just wasnt right for you. shit happens,just have to go out and find a new one, that how i see it, no need to stres over it.

I actually took the job as I needed the experience, considering I had absolutely none.

experience in sales or just job experience.

I just wanted experience. Any would do.

well i think youre better off geting experience in the field your going to want to be working on in the future, cus jumping from job to job that you dont like aint going to look good on your resume, it makes you look to future employer like your not stable and cant hold a job for a long time, even if thats not true,thats how they'll see it.

Why not get job experience in something that would interest you?

Well, at least I wouldn't be interested in selling knives anyway...Don't know about you, but... ;)

It was the only place that would hire WITHOUT prior experience. Hell, I would love to be a music store clerk and say stuff like "This job would be great if we didn't have the customers."

How's the job going fly? I'm curious because my current job situation isnt so hot anymore.

Technically I am still employed there, but I haven't actually worked for over a week.

:up:

i guess thats a job reference you aint going to put on your resume. hehe

Independent Contractor for a 250$ Million company

It does sound rather snazy. :)

Hey hon

If you like the whole concept of working with people and having fun with the public I have a friend in CA that owns a marketing company very similar to mine.

He and I started working together 10 years ago and then he moved to CA and started a company, I stayed here on the East Coast and developed my own.

We are still really good friends and I would be happy to refer you to him.

If you are interested let me know. It will be more of a real job for you and it would still be fun.

Good Luck
Missy

I am done with the marketing business.

Be a whore!:D:up:
You're young and that's a plus!:D

Go into Comercials... ..chease it up.

Plus, I heard you get paid well on tips... :D

Oh, there I go, confusing job markets again... :p
