Taste of Country. A job I failed at that was my fault.

I got the criticism from someone that I never take personal accountability on this platform. That I am always blaming my failures on someone else. I will admit Ashtonderoy.com is a little Me-Centric. Must be the fact that I haven’t had another writer in a few years. I promise when I have them… Unlike Bay of Quinte Pride. I will pay that writer.

Motive: For my fans even as my ratings increase. I need you to see me as an Under Dog cause I can’t sell you on my struggle otherwise.

A Job I failed at that was my fault? You know what I wasn’t the best at working for Taste of Country. I wasn’t always in the right spot in the shop. I didn’t call someone up to cash fast enough a few times. For which I received a warning. Cause Management did not want customers standing in long lines. Who can blame her? It is a fire Hazard.

I couldn’t refute my experience at that job. Cause honestly I respected that they laid me off instead of firing me. They protected me as a Disabled worker multiple times. They keep a nice shop. Was I the most efficient worker in the building? No and that is why laying me off when the cuts came made sense. Pam was a good boss. I wouldn’t give her the hard time I gave other bosses. Cause she showed me some respect and decency.

To refer to other experiences:

  • Giant Tiger Could of killed me. Pushing unrealistic efficiency causing my head injury.
  • Best Buy didn’t train me Properly. It is a fact I wasn’t done the training before dismissed. I did not receive the personal training for Mobile support I was told I was getting. Kishan communicated High Expectations before I was even comfortable with the job.
  • Belwood Lodge & Camp really did have Underaged Minors bathing Disabled adults.

Not every work experience I have is my fault. If you can’t accept that? You can’t accept me as a person. For which I make no apologies. When it comes to Taste Of Country? It was a learning experience in Retail. I can’t push myself too hard, I need to tell management when I don’t know what they are asking of me & pick up the way of doing tasks faster. Philip isn’t a great guy in my comments but even a broken clock is right twice a day. I did need to talk about a grounding experience on this blog. The arrogance was coming in heavy for the reader. Not that I shouldn’t have strong opinions, attitude and style. Just that I should mix in a tiny drop of modesty.
