You stay as long as you can stand the idiocy, shitty pay and constant harassment by management. Then you move on to another awful job. Each time you change jobs you get a bit more pay.

It's as if these corporate tools think they are doing us a favor by giving us yet another shitty job. You still got to work excessive hours with stupid bosses and little or no appreciation.
