Expose truths in your work fields that outsiders don't know about

[50CentStan]

Like breh said, insurance is a bytch. Protip, when people tell you to shop around for insurance, they not talking about shopping around with different companies. They talking about shopping around different states. A few oldheads that hot shot told me that lil insider tip when I got my dually

Good looking breh

I worked for LA fitness

My manger told to me how sales work in a nutshell , it’s a numbers game , ask 100 people something and least one person is going to be interested , girls are going to act nice to you just for sales , my assistant manager was female as lightly flirted with ALL her customers , it’s not fair , her sales were always thru the roof , don’t trust any females in sales they want your money


My manager broke down how customers work , told me what things to say , body language stuff , A lot of reverse psychology stuff , I learned a lot from that job , I will definitely say most people are idiots and just wanna be entertained at the end of the day

Lol true them pua weirdos basically stole the game from sales

glad i leveled up but i never expect shyt from there to this day

Desktop support. Half of the questions you ask us about computers, we don't know...We just do a google search, get the answer and solve the shyt.

Funny thing is, most of us tell y'all niccas "Google is your friend" but you refuse to listen. Just did a side job, made 300 in 30 minutes, cuz the company wanted me to install Virus protection on all 20 PC's I used AVG

Shyt thats how it is in the army when you go to sick call or the hospital. They google your symptoms. Hell the PA write you a diagnostic based off of it

and how many years have you been a licensed stylist? exactly.
all my black clients who could never get their hair to grow before finding me now have to schedule trims every 4 weeks with me due extreme growth and healthy hair.

if you sweat or leave your home dirt gets in your damn hair just like it gets on your skin. you shower daily and wash your ass ...guess what HAIR should be washed frequently too. and thanx for bringing up another myth. to much OIL on the scalp also stunts growth. the first thing i tell my ethnic clients is to STOP "greasing down their heads" on that old ass 1950 tip with that thick ass sh*t in the blue jar thats as heavy as vaseline. most black women(like you) also don't know THAT stuff stiffles hair growth as well when no oxygen can reach the follicles. if you have dry scalp issues...there are silicone based non greasy mosturizers and scalp regulating shampoos for that as well.

Proof

nikkas in da Rec Room prolly would be more interested in this but there's hardly any real black concept designers/visual development artist workin in the film/video game/television industries from what i've seen. Only real recognizable one is LeSean Thomas from the Boondocks and Chris Baker who did production artwork for A. I. and a couple other projects.

I have yet to find any others, especially ones that are actually good at it and can be "contenders" so to speak . The only time i see a brotha sprinkled in is usually in the more technical sections of the pipeline (Animators, I.T., Lighters, etc.) and them cats 9/10 is lames. I'm talkin bout absoluely no swag havin oreo ass muhfuggas. Majority of the time I always feel like the token nikka in a sea of nothin but asian n white folk. People always seem to be a bit "surprised" I'm black after lookin at my work since my specific field is so heavily dominated by the two races i spoke of. I remember when i first got into the field a couple years ago i was flown out to a place for an on site interview and i walked in that mufukka and both the art director and H.R. recruiter had that slight look on they face when they saw i was black. lol Now maybe i was readin too much into it and just used to white follks bein on that cac shyt but thruought that whole interview process n studio tour i had the feelin on the inside listenin to them talk. But it was cool and I ended up gettin a call back offering me the job not even a day after i got back home. So I was

But shyt it was only 5 blacks(all doods) in my graduatin class of 300 from my art school and sadly dem nikkas was garbage.

We like unicorns out chea.

Most games use the same art templates. Seen it 1st hand when i was fukking with unreal engine

I use to work as an admin in a transportation company after driving for them as a paratransit driver for about 8 mos.

Alotta you on the board probably have family that use paratransit services. Just know there’s a good chance the driver is either high or drunk as shyt. Mufukkas coming to work high, smoking weed and snortin lines in the parking lot right before riding out to pick up your grandma or grandpa.

Pulling the van around the side of gas stations so the camera doesn’t see the driver going in to buy a tall can and drink it out of view. Or pull somewhere secluded and smoke a blunt. Then go pick up momma or poppa in their wheelchair and take em to dialysis.

I can co-sign that most IT positions are smoke and mirrors. It’s all about appearing to be knowledgeable to whoever you are working with. It’s not so much about knowing the answers as much as it’s about knowing how to find the answer.

I work for a large vendor, and we deal with customer’s IT staff constantly to solve problems or design solutions. 90% of the time I’m searching Topic, our internal knowledge base, or bullshytting just enough to buy some time to research the answer.

And it’s not just me. Damn near everybody in the company is the same way.

Man stfu with this "Rafters" shyt and just keep this thread going

I worked as a Salesman in a Bakery in a big train station when I took evening classes. I've never fukked with anyones food unless they were on some rude or shyt. I worked the early shift for the most because I like gettin up early and still have the whole day before me when I clock out at 1pm. So I had to deal with (the same) business people rushing to get to the train every damn morning, instead of leaving the house 5min early, always giving me an attitude. If I like you and I know you comin at the same time everyday, I'll have your breakfast prepared and you don't have to wait in line.
But If you're barking at me at 6am like "I want a sesame bagel with cream cheese, cucumber and salami on it and hurry up if you haven't prepared one. I have two minutes til my train leaves"
best believe thats a bad idea because we have our work space in the back, where you can't see shyt as a customer and now I have sesame between my balls and ass cheeks and your train gone anyway pleighboi

Also made minimum 100$ everyday by sellin coffee on the low. Basically if you order a large coffee and a Bagel, that would be 5$.
And you pay the 5$. But I only typed the Bagel in the register and the 2,50$ for that coffee are going straight into my pocket. No one customer could read what the register said anyway because I fukked the display up and they didn't care anyway because they were in a hurry. Bought a car and made some savings just because of that.
Once a month I bought some cheap coffee from the store and just refilled the boxes so it wouldn't be this obvious.
After 3 years they started to notice that something wasnt right. They charged some bytch that no one liked cuz she called in sick every two weeks and kicked her out.

One year before that happened, that same bytch gave me head at 7am while the store was FULL of people waiting on their shyt and some were complaining loud af. We had one of them windows where, as a customer, you only see a mirror. But from the back you can see whats going on outside. Bytch swallowed, drank some water and served this stupid mf his Avocado Bagel.
at the fact that I had sex with my girl a few hours before my shift started and I didn't even wash my dikk


Now I'm in HR and all I do is browsing The Coli, drinking coffee and make 2-3 phone calls per hour.
We don't give af about covering letters, your hobbies or what your parents do for a living.
And that nice portfolio you sent in? My little cousin says thank you.

Every once in a while, I pop up on the Coli and see my alerts popping and it’s always cause of this old thread

Give y’all a update, I’m a Database Administrator now and it’s the same thang, just on a higher level, instead of just googling shyt and having to filter the good from bad, now it’s specific sites, blogs, social media (twitter #sqlhelp is clutch) and people I follow that give me answers I need; and I help the community out as well. I know a lot and even have my sql server certification but damn the internet be having me looking like a whole genius outchea

Might not be telling anybody anything they don't know, but the amount of "smart" kids that don't do their school work is appalling. Most rich kids with great grades are paying other people to do their work and write their essays. They get into the elite schools because they can afford the elite schooling and test prep, the latter of which is very important.

The amount of high school and college athletes having all of their work done by "tutors" and professional teachers is appalling.

US Postal Service was the client.
My company was the contractor. We did IT consulting. Everything is on the up-and-up. It's more of a 'this is where the real money is at', not a 'illegal stuff is going on' thing.
I did like about 7 weeks worth of work on this small project. I was paid like 40+K a year. I was the main dude doing most of the programming work and two other were involved. My manager is talking about how much gets billed for the 7 weeks of work. It was like $150+K. You can do the math. That's a ton of overhead.

So you're saying the employer pocketed most of it? Could you ask to get a bigger cut?
