The Importance Of Doing Good Work

Decent Essays
Your work is going to take majority of your time, and the only way to be content is to believe what you’re doing is great work. Once you can achieve that then the more enjoyment you can get out of your job. For instance, I work under a company called Dans Management that runs my store, Dunkin Donuts in Pascoag, Rhode Island and thirty-five more in New England. I was hired as a closer in October of 2012. I worked late and went through many obstacles in my years at my job some days I love it and some I hate it. However, most days I believe I’m doing good work by loving my duties, skills, and environment at my work.

First the duties at my job can vary from being good to bad. The tasks that I most enjoy are order taking, drive-thru cashier,

You are the first voice they hear in the morning and I’m always cheerful and suggestive selling! However, OT carries much more work than that, for example; you must brew each batch of empty coffee, stock cups, fill sugar, fill creamer, and fill ice if your maker runs out of them. Another duty I enjoy is drive thru cashier because it’s one on one with each customer for under two minutes. I like the excitement of keeping the time in the green (under 1.60 min) because most people count money slow and keep time in the red (over 2.00 min.) However, this task becomes tedious from standing in one spot for eight hours and occasionally getting a disrespectful customer. For illustration, a customer who blows their cigarette in your face through the window, throws …show more content…
I started in 2012 as a crew member like everyone else. I disliked this position because it wasn’t enough money and I wasn’t respected. However, through hard work and dedication I climbed the latter to crew captain. Now able to train new employees and making sure crew members are doing their tasks their shifts. Now, I am a shift leader who can now deal with money situations, making .75 cents more, and able to write up a crew member for negative actions. Promotion is based on speed, accuracy, and tidiness in my store. For example, my manager notices how fast I can count money fast, make sandwiches speedy, and make coffees with the quickness. While making all the products fast I still attempt to make them all the correct ways and not sloppy. Also, I’m the tidiest worker by always having a clean station, tied up hair, and gloves over my polish nails. On the other hand, there are some negative skills I have also though. I have little patience, low leadership, and take poorly to

    I am an attendant at Chick-fil-a, I don’t think I have any specific title because I am pretty much doing everything, whether it is working with the cash registers or working in the kitchen. My first position though I was working in the kitchen, however after considering it was a high pace restaurant, the first two weeks in the back I felt like it was too much pressure.
