New Job

Hey, I got a new Job!

I am now working for Virgin Mobile, in Park Place Mall in Lethbridge. Better hours, better pay, what could be better?
WalMart was an ok Job, but I am glad that I am not working there anymore. A few people seemed to really care about doing a good job, and the rest did not seem to. There were also a few coworkers who did not really like each other, which also contributes to a not so nice work environment. I think that if WalMart would actually pay competitive wages to start (many places in Lethbridge are starting out about $9.6-10/hour on the low end, WalMart offers $8.8, only a little above min. wage), and if they were to actually strive to make it a good work environment (half the managers did not really seem to care either, and there was a lot of miscommunication - one telling me one thing, and then another telling me to do it differently), they would not have the problems of understaffing, and high turnover.

But anyway, at Virgin Mobile, I will be getting a M-F 10-6 shift, make $12/hour, plus commissions. That will help out for us to get to China quicker.

Have fun
