Well, so basically I got a job as an “interpreter”. I work for a Venezuelan company that it’s outsourced by a Mexican company that’s in turn outsourced by a US company. I basically have to translate what Latin people say to some gringos and vice versa.
The pay us breadcrumbs, but since the Argentinian economy is so fucked up, and they pay us in USD we kind of have a good salary. But in reality it doesn’t meet the criteria for even the cheapest US wage in any state.
People from the US are the worst kind of shit, honestly, they don’t give a single fuck about you, as far as they can tell I’m a poorly working computer that translates whatever their filthy mouths have to say. Some people are nice, yeah, but others are just fucking bastards. What’s worst is that since English is such a shitty language I have to be fucking understanding whatever foreign name these people have, so like they maybe have an African name, or French, or I don’t fucking know, but it’s never a John, Jessica or whatever English name, and since there’s English doesn’t have pronunciation rule that’s very constant and also their names may be misspells of the original intended name I’m the fucking asshole for not understanding your name? For fuck’s sake.
Oh, and that’s not all. Guess what, in fucking burgerland microphones must be really expensive, because it seems that every fucking one of them has connected a scientific calculator and used it as a fucking microphone. It’s filled with static, low quality signal, background noise, people screaming, and I DON’T FUCKING GET WHAT YOU’RE SAYING AND IT’S MY FAULT? With the money you save by hiring a third world Latino why the fuck don’t you fucking buy a decent microphone you piece of shit.
My bosses don’t do much, honestly, so far they have only told me about the beginner stuff in a couple meetings and that’s it, but they’ve been nice, they are not super formal, they are okay if you are not super punctual or that kind of shit, they do promote that kind of shit of job culture but well, that’s everywhere. Of course they are getting with their sweet profits so it’s not like I like them. They’re all Venezuelans, so yeah.
That’s decent to hear, a shitty boss can make a job infinitely worse than it actually should be
