My Worst Job At 4200
Do you remember what your worst job was like? My worst job was working at 4200. 4200 is a production warehouse, located in Atlanta, Georgia, that manufactures various hair care products for a company named Bronner Brothers. It is owned by my father, Nathaniel Bronner, and his four brothers: Bernard, Dale, Charles, and James. 4200 is open five days a week, for ten and a half hours daily. I spent last summer at 4200, where I worked on an assembly line and packaged hair care products. Working at 4200 proved to be a summer spent at my worst job ever because it was tiring, it made my summer boring, and it hired co-workers with whom I did not enjoy working.
One reason 4200 was the worst job ever was because it was a very exhausting job; it started at night, called for long shifts, required uncomfortable uniforms, and was extremely hot. A day at 4200 did not start in the morning but at night. Without a good night

On the assembly line, we were unable to communicate with others. The manager, Mr. Haze, kept a close eye at all times to make sure that everyone was doing what they were supposed to be doing and that made it much more difficult to interact with others. The only time that we were able to communicate with others was during the short break. Additionally the work became very repetitive. The entire time, Mr. Haze saw to it that we were making boxes, stacking boxes, or labeling boxes. Also, I had no choice of which assembly line I could be on each day or what I would be doing. Most importantly, 4200 took away extra time I had, which I could have used to hang out with friends, workout, or sleep. The assembly line was boring because we could not talk, it was repetitive, and I did not have a say in what I

    1) From the interaction does it seem to you that Alan is actively listening? Why or Why not? It does not seem that Alan is actively listening at all. He may be hearing the voices of his employees but he is not listening to them as they answer the questions that he has asked. He is also not mindful in his interactions with his employees. He is scribbling notes, shaking his head, constantly frowning and does not give the person he is talking to direct eye contact when speaking to them. Finally, Alan is not responding appropriately to what his employees are saying. He is not showing through his words or actions that he cares nor is interested in engaging them in further conversation.…

    When I started my first job in an eye clinic, I was hired to work the front desk of the main office along with three other ladies. I was the youngest at 22 , one gal was about 5 years older than myself, and the other two were in their early 60's. One of the older ladies had worked there a significant amount of time while the other two and myself were hired at the same time. There was an initial friction between one of the older ladies and my younger co-worker and myself. We thought she was bossy and tried to micro-manage us even though she was not in a supervisory position. She also would try and tell us how the older patients liked to be spoken to. After a while, management stepped in to try and mediate the conflict. As it turned out, my bossy co-worker was simply taught her work ethic and interpersonal skills in a different era. She felt more senior than my co-worker and I because she was older, with more life experience. She also thought that being from an older generation herself, that she knew how to communicate better with our patients. We were all trying to help our patients, do our jobs well, and effectively communicate, but our different backgrounds and significant difference in age, were creating an interpersonal conflict.…

    The worst job I’ve ever had was probably working at Petsmart, in Sand City. I have had a lot of jobs and this made me realize I don’t like working at corporations or in retail. I grew up in the country and have always had jobs doing physical labor either at my parent’s farm, or the surrounding farms. When I first started working at Petsmart I liked it. As time went on I started to see how bad it really was. The management was horrible, I was assigned for a graveyard type job, and no one did anything until the District manager was coming in that week.…

    The lack of communication is evident in the differences between the employees’ expectations of their responsibilities and the responsibilities of the other person, and their timetable of when the task was to be prepared and completed. An example of this is that really close to the day scheduled for the training, Carl seemed surprised about the missing paperwork, as though he did not think that this was part of his job, although no one else had done it.…

    Within the world’s largest oil and gas metal tubular manufacturing facility, metrics were maintained in all aspects of the business to include; production, safety, quality, logistics, budget, etc. Historically, the 200 acre facility, with 30 or so departments, 40 buildings and an average 800 plus employees prided itself on its production capability as well as meeting customer demands for a quality product with on-time deliveries. Within a few years the growing pressure to improve the safety statistics moved it to the number one priority with no less demand for production efficiencies and demand on employee performance to do more with less. As a result, there was an increased demand on each and every employee to adopt new policies, procedures, practices, and workload. This in turn caused poor employee morale, less internal customer satisfaction and poor metrics across the board.…

    1. While working at petsmart this past summer I had a direct supervisor in petcare as well as the manager of the store to which I reported to. The way that shifts worked out was there was only one petcare assosiate on at a time and my supervisor would have her hours spread out over the week so sometimes you may only see her once or by chance might work with her throughout the week. I was scheduled often early morning which tended to be the opposite time she would by in so she would leave notes on my task list for the day if she needed to relay informaton to me. I had been working there for a couple of weeks when some tension started to come to my attention in the workplace.…

    Our manager did not respect the fact that some days our kids were sick or they needed to go in for check-ups. If we called out or had to leave we were reprimanded as if we were kids.
