Jobs.

Do you ever or have you ever judged someone because of their occupation?

I work as a cleaner (contract & industrial) so tend to get the "hand down the toilet" stereotype from time to time. It doesn't really bother me really, though it can get boring.

People also tend to say "get a better job" so I usually respond with "how do you define better?" and the answer is usually "a job that pays more." When in actual fact, I earn a pretty good wage, there are working people who are worse off than me, who's jobs are apparently "better."

Then again, I also don't class any job as "better" because of the money. I would rathar carry on with the job I have now, where I enjoy it, earning enough money, good working enviroment with people I get on with rathar than being in a job that I don't particulary like, but pays more.

Anyway, have you ever judged someone or used stereotypes? Have you ever been on the recieving end? Or just any general opinions on this..

I work security (a.k.a bouncer) at a bar/club and we get a lot of crap about being the dumb guys standing around and are just there for customers to treat like crap. Not all people do but a majority of them have no respect for us. But i do enjoy it when one is being unruly and we get to escort them out most cases it is thrown out because they fight back but it's gettin me through college so I'll stay with it

First of all man, good for you, seriously, it is all about job satisfaction. Money means nothing if you wake up every morning cringing at the thought of actually having to go out and earn it in a fashion that makes you miserable.

If you're happy, you stay right where you are.

I've been on the recieving end a few times. Firstly, i used to be a barman, and it was ace, but everyone and his freakin dog gave me grief about it being a lame job, so i got a well paid office job - and let me tell you man: Worst. move. ever. i made myself really sick taking that job. The second time was when i moved to Portsmouth, i had no money and no job, so i signed on with the local council as a binman and i think we all know the stereotype there, but it was awesome, colourful people, great working hours, easy job and plenty of money, but again, social prejudice pushed me out of that one too. I guess that's why i do what i do now, they say everyone who goes to sea is running away from something, so yeah.

I suppose the long and short of what i'm saying here man is, follow your heart dude. Everything else is just BS.

Ya I hear that bruh. I play football in college so anything physical I enjoy and my job is mainly physical. Main part is to have a presence to prevent stir ups but it's only til I graduate after that I'm all SWAT.

I'm in the same field as it were, and I understand the tediousness of disrespectful people. I've learned the whole 'the customer is right' thing, but when it's something more serious and they arn't cooperative or look down it becomes a real pain.

However your other post I have to disagree with. Maybe it's slightly different your side of the pond but over here it's not mainly about 'presence to prevent'. I'd say attitude is more important on the doors than presence, as your there to provide safety and ensure a good night for all rather than look 'ard and push your weight around.

Probably worded it wrong but ya i agree with what your saying we don't just stand there and look like a bunch of dumb gorillas we socialize with the customers especially the ladies but also have a dick for a boss so he gets pissy if were as he says "Talking and hanging out instead of doing our job." Although were employees too and our attitudes affect if customers want to come back or not.
