I was incharge of making sure The operations went smoothly and that systems that were offline got reported to the respective local technicians. It was a remote job and wasn't overly taxing, although one of the people I had to keep track of was particularly good at causing issues when it came to scheduling, getting work done, and many others. I (and most everyone else) ended up leaving due to a multitude of reasons, the biggest one being people weren't getting payed. None of us really felt like working without payment given what we were supposed to be doing so we organized a meeting the the director to resolve the issues and he didn't show. In response we took our leave. I really do wish this job would have turned out as the company had a lot of potential.

I went back to culvers because the old GM when i was there last time was now the owner. I had a nice time there aside from the GM at the time(the owner's fiance) being an absolute asshole to everyone. I ended up leaving because I hit a point in my life where i realized if i don't turn away from customer service now, i am likely to be doing it the rest of my life and that's not a future i want for myself.

I overall liked woking here as the 3rd shift crew was very relaxed and let me do my own thing so long as my thing included getting the job done. I really only started to have issues with the job about a year in when i started to get blamed for things i didn't do and started getting sit downs with the GM about those same things. I went to take my break the one night and we were extra busy, the GM was in a bad mood, and everything was loud. The GM started yelling at me that i shouldn't have time to sit right now because of how busy we were. I was already overwhelmed but that kind of pushed me over the edge and i walked out because i don't like to be treated like my rights as a worker are a convenience. (among ofcourse, not enjoying being the other 3rd shifter's scape goat for dirty areas when i'm not even working.)

The factory made screws and blots and stuff, so in my department, i was the one doing QA on the bolts making sure they were getting holes drilled in them properly. I also replaced the drill bits when they broke or went dull, i also would remove the whole drill bit wheel and replace it so the old one could be cleaned. My first 2 weeks i was being trained by the manager of that department, but then he went on vacation and i continued to be trained by the other workers there so that i could continue to learn my new job. when the GM came back he said that i didn't know what i was doing and that it wasn't safe(even though it was just the stuff i had leaned to do while he was on vacation). They let me go the day he came back because of it.

Kwik trip was nice as i got payed essential double what i got at speedway but for less work in total. I was at kwiktrip for around a year and my job slowly over time became janitor because i tried explaining my autism to them and they seems to interpret it as a significant mental disability to the point i was required to follow a list of 4 things (all the same cleaning jobs) every day and if i went out of order i got in trouble, my hours also got cut from the average 7-8 hour shifts most people had to 2-4 hour shifts for cleaning and nothing else. I eventually found a job that looked very good to me and took that one since they would let me actually do my job.

I REALLY liked this job and made sure to give it my all. I was scheduled to train for about 1-3 months to learn the job, and i leaned it in approximately 3 days. The other employees seemed more jaded towards me after the 3rd day. I'm still not sure why, but then on Sunday i got a call saying that they wanted to let me go.

I ran the whole store alone as I was the only person on 3rd shift. It wasn't an overly bad job other than it's pay compared to the work required, i just received a better offer from kwiktrip right after i started at speedway.

I did every job at the restaurant at some point in the 2 years, including almost every type of cleaning. I worked kitchen, ran orders, set orders, ran the drive thru (by myself 3 times actually)(it's a 3 man job), did every job in kitchen(with grill and fryers being my best), made sure the mop closet was spotless every thursday, and many other things
