I've been in my field for 3 years and am more qualified for my supervisor's job than he is despite him being in the field for 25 years. I like the work, but this selfish yes man I work for is making me desire employment elsewhere.

I work in the produce dept of a local grocery store in Rock Hill. It is not a hard job at all, but it is very difficult to work there. My boss is a nice guy and i like him as a guy-you-could-hang-out-with sort of deal, but he's lazy as poo and manipulates the schedule to his own advantage. He's the DM's gofer, so he's never here the beginning of the week--at other stores "straightening them out", and he's a deacon in his church so no working on Sundays. Ever. I'm constanly working closing shifts on weekends. I should be paid more considering how long I've worked there--since a senior in high school.

I actually like and respect people, but working is retail has made me almost totally hate people and not respect them at the same time. Seriously, the customers make my skin crawl lol. Rude, dumb, ignore you when you greet them even though we are making eye contact, act as if you are invisible when you are trying to do your job and fug up your display when you just put the product out, don't say thank you, walk off when you are mid-sentence even though they just asked you a dumb question that you really shouldn't have to answer in the first place. My new favorite phrase has become "kill yourself". Oh, and i now feel that foodstamps should be outlawed.

The soccer moms...good God.

Luckily, I am in school for my Associates in Radiography, to be a Rad Tech, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. But I have 2+ years of school left, and i definitely don't have 2+ more years of grocery store work in me. I will literally shoot myself in the meantime.

Real Estate.

Been in it for 7 years.

Been through some really good times and some really bad ones.

Dealing with customers can at times be extremely tough, and sometimes very very rewarding.

I woud not do anything else.

My hours are long, and there is no steady pay, nor benefits, and the market is down.

Again, I would not change for anything.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
