But also a little nervous on how big of a change it is. 7 years of full-time fast food and part-time school. Hoping i'm well prepared for this

Just remember your aren't in a restaurant any more. Language can send you to hr. Don't rush others until you know what to expect there 1st.
STGxDante
It's a whole different world. You're going to witness someone giving you lower quality work than someone who worked for you for minimum wage
NotRockyAdriaaaaan
Good luck

Will you slip an extra pill in the bottle now and then like the fabled extra nugget? I still open my nuggets in anticipation of the legend.
AnnyJane
Well done- enjoy the change and purpose. Having worked for a really great Pharma company, don’t buy into the negative press.
FELTMARKERS
Ex-fast food workers are great because y'all used to constantly being productive -- you've got this!
8snFail
So you're already familiar with handling drugs.
zakonly
not sure which i love more.... fast food or drugs
chalkyblack
Oh no.... I've seen that transition many times...
chalkyblack
Let me guess. You are going into sales?
heislegend
No, they actually get paid better than me. My job is to find deficiencies in the manufacuring process of large molecules using software data
chalkyblack
Oh shit okay. Good stuff man, well played

8 years fast food manager, now in an office. You’re gonna gain weight unless you are VERY diligent! 8-10 hours on your feet is good exercise
MrsRodriguez
Actually it's not, look it up. You burn barely more calories on your feet than sitting. Bouncing your knees is better exercise.
relsky
I wasn’t standing still. I’d regularly log 15-20k steps a day, and unloaded 4-5 trucks a week. This wasn’t a slow restaurant.

Managing the cafeteria or ?

Just because the marijuana is medical doens't mean you can call it a pharmaceutical company.

OP, dont forget, if it falls on the floor, dont eat it. Just dont.

Way to create your own employment, sell themfast food get em unhealthy, then shoot over to pharmaceuticals and sell em stuff to feel healthy
worgenboy
Fuck off, some of us had to work shit jobs before getting anywhere.
PopCornPlayer81
Touchy ain't you. Any reason you are so upset? Can you show me on the doll where the bad comment touched you? Need a safe space?
elemcsere
I did a variety of jobs before ending up with pharma for 10 years now. Strees is high, but at least they pay decent.
katwilmb
Better pay always = more stress.
BigKat77
What company?
WoodyGoodman
A Sinaloa subsiduary.
katwilmb
You ain't seen a cartel til you've been in the legal pharma biz.
heislegend
I'm really surprised this company ever interviewed me, & would love to mention them. Unfortunately i've prob said unprofessional things here
heislegend
I guess i can say that they are a biopharma company & only focus on rare or underrepresented diseases, which makes me happy to work for them
DaveTheScientist
As someone who's spent most of their career on neglected diseases, kudos! You're doing good work.

If they find a cure for mastocytosis let me know! My daughter has it!

I just worked my last shift as a GM of a fast-food restaurant last week as well! A week into my new job, and I just feel so much better
BottomShelfVodka
Congrats OP! It's the 1st step in the right direction! Now you'll get a real benefits package. Might even get breaks between shifts!! :)
TAPMayhem
Is it in a secret basement of an industrial laundry?
Rulweylan
Having worked in pharma, don't worry about being prepared. Very few people have a fucking clue what they're doing at any given time.
WoodyGoodman
Not a confidence inspiring statement; but, also not surprising in the least.
brassfist
If you survived that long in fast food, you can do anything.
onlywisehermit
Congrats and no one's ever prepared for anything. Speaking from experience here. Good luck tiger!!
MrsRodriguez
Learned this quick when I started my first job as an engineer.
pandro
Yes! Getting a diploma proves that you have self-discipline and know how to learn. Kids out there debating college - that's why you go.
pandro
(idk about other careers but as an electrical engineer you are expected to teach yourself when it's needed. Again, college.)
Perfzilla
Congrats on going from making chemical substances engineered for addiction to making chemical substances engineered for addiction.

But the price doesn't vary according to need. Cancer combo sir? That'll be 320,000 dollars.
possumattack
Yeah but chemo isn't addictive so a single course has to cost a lot.

They've got to take their money fast while the patient is still alive, eh :/

I was gonna say going from killing people slowly, but making them happy to killing people slowly but making them happy

It ain't all like that. I work at a pharmaceutical company and I haven't had to do a single controversial thing in my whole time there

You are right, not all are horrible evil despicable companies making tons of money off of people who have no choice. Glad you found a good 1
DaveTheScientist
Yeah but people do love to shit on them. Makes for a more interesting narrative.
flextothemax
Shush don't ruin the magic.
worgenboy
So you're gonna shit on a guy getting out of the worst fucking service industry for getting a job that makes his life better? 1/2
QuiteADapperAsshole
I don’t think they’re shitting on them. Just pointing out an easy dig at both industries.
worgenboy
You're one of those fucks that believe in crystals for healing, aren't you? 2/2

Thanks for doing the fast food thing, though. We gotta eat and stuff...
Perfzilla
i like to stuff when i eat

Oh it's got loads of nutritional value, just not necessarily in the right categories.
MrsRodriguez
That makes no sense.
MrsRodriguez
Fast food shouldn't be a regular part of anyone's diet...
Eunoterp
I like Arbys..they make good sammiches
dogfrost9
Thanks Mr. Obvious. Absolutely nobody knew this until you told us.
dorenavant
Well said. To add, working fast food is hard work and more often than not under appreciated. Well done @OP & best of luck in your new role.
MrsRodriguez
You bet your ass it's under appreciated. I tip a waitress but I don't tip the McDonald's employee dealing with 10 orders at a time ?
PurinebasesAG
Ignore the haters in comments, none know what it takes to do the job or the costs of research and failure to help/ save peoples lives.
PurinebasesAG
Good for you OP and best wishes!
DaveTheScientist
Seconded.
Fastney
7 years? I would trust you with my life
Fastney
It’s a hard costumer oriented job that requires nerves of steel, op hoping he’s prepared. its a joke..
MrsRodriguez
Do you.. do you know what a fast food manager is ? Why would that qualify them for anything like that.
snoffler
I'm at 13 years, does that mean I get your life and that of everyone you know?
EmperorMahaco
Lol, why? Nothing special about that. I've worked in fast food for at least 10 years and retail for another 2, plus various other shit...
EmperorMahaco
...for a few more.
DrNick
As a manager?
GerberLegalTeam
Why does it matter? This makes no sense
DrNick
Because as a manager, having to put up with fully grown children is a job in and of itself. While there are plenty of employees that (1/2)
GerberLegalTeam
I mean why are we talking about trusting someone with their life because they were a restaurant manager? It seems to not connect at all.
DrNick
carry their weight and get their work done, there are more than a few asshats who think they're king fly on the pile of shit.
EmperorMahaco
No, of course not. OP wasn't a manager for 7 years, either
DrNick
So just as a fast food employee?
EmperorMahaco
Correct
