I've told my adult children now that simply showing up reliably to work will immediately set them apart. This has proven true as these days some places pay a bonus if people work their full 8 hours instead of showing up late, or leaving early.
In my day you'd get fired if you didn't show up on the time you agreed to when you took the job.
Now so much of the workforce has this entitlement, woke mind rot, etc. that if they fired all of the people that did that immediately they would have no work force.
I think most of them try to slowly get rid of those people as they find the people that want to just work and be someone to count upon. It is sad to say what used to be the norm is now seemingly a rarer and rarer type of person.
I also warned my children about whining and complaining and that it can turn into a spiral that feeds upon itself. I tell them it is better to find positive things to say (silver linings) so you can stay focused on doing a good job. If you can't think of anything there is always the "I have a job, it is paying my bills, it is caring for my family". You can likely find other positives but that one is there if needed. The main thing to avoid is the negative spirals. Those will impact your work and at some point you'll likely want to quit or if you acted up get fired and it all began with whining about things that were most likely trivial.
That doesn't mean there are not bad jobs. I worked at some bad jobs before. Yet I kept at them until I found something better. I never allowed myself to quit due to not liking the job, or get fired before having something already lined up to replace it.
I always gave two weeks notice with one exception. That place I didn't give notice because someone else had given notice a month before and they fired them immediately. I couldn't afford to not have work for two weeks so I didn't give them notice.
They offered to match the new wage where I was going. They asked why I didn't give notice. I told them that when Martha gave notice you fired her. "I couldn't afford to be two weeks without work so I didn't give you notice."
They thought I'd been there six months when I quit. I had only been there three months. During that time I saved their orders department and organized it, worked in disassembly department some, worked in their ebay department some, and stepped in several times to run their shipping department.
That place was perhaps one of the craziest places I ever worked. Yet I didn't bitch. I showed up. I did the work. I went home. While at home I started looking for other work. I actually got my job as a referral from Martha whom they fired for giving notice.
That was the place where one day I was sitting at my desk in my normal clothes while people in hazmat suits were vacuuming around my desk. About 4 or 5 years later 60 Minutes did an expose on the place "Executive Recycling".
The only other place I worked that was pretty crazy was at Kryptonics where I went in as a temp and helped on the machines and lines producing polyurethane roller blade wheels. Pretty sure a lot of the supervisors didn't have green cards, and many of them did not speak English. They also called all kinds of names and derogatory things to the gringos. It is why I am pretty good at unpolite name calling Spanish but I don't know a lot outside of that. I only worked there a brief period as I got it when my alcoholic uncle put my family and I (wife and first baby boy) in a bind.
You do what you have to do to survive and if possible you find ways to improve your situation. Whining and complaining don't generally improve much of anything.
