Do you think you're better than others because of your job?

Having been on the receiving end of that kind of treatment before I treat everyone with politeness regardless of the type of job they have. I remember having to deal with those snotty type of people when I was working at a fast food restaurant years ago, especially those ignorant teenagers and younger people. My whole reaction was that at least I had a job and wasn't mooching off of my parents like some of them obviously were. Plus, I didn't have rich parents who could pay my way for me through college. Overall, I just ignore those type of people and if they get out of hand, I'd flatly tell them to leave or be escorted out forcefully.

I don't think I'm better than anyone. I've just worked my butt off to get where I am and I think I'm quite lucky that I was able to get a job when I did and where I did. I don't make a lot in fact people that work in retail probably do make a bit more than I make. However I don't think that means anything. Without those people that work in retail then we wouldn't be able to go and shop and buy items. Every job that someone out there works is important.

Hi oneidmnster Everyone who has a job now days should be so happy , so grateful. even if you have snotty customers do not let it get you down,just think we are employed, we have pay checks, a home, a car, we are not out on the street or homeless.so be grateful. perhaps the young man being snotty with the gas card was bitter as hell because he probably does not have a job, look are you sure you did not look down on him because he is unemployed? two sides to every thing. I am retired and I know I am not better than anyone else, b ut having been in a bad situation myself with my adult son I have more compassion for people who have been laid off and are unemployed. there is nothing horrible about having a gas care given out by the unemployment officer, sure you and your wife did not also look down on him too:\? why mention it unless you thought badly of him for being out of work? NO I do not treat anyone that way but also I have compassion on p eople who are less fortunate than myself.

Potentially we all have that impulse to play down those earning less or working on a less decent job than us, and this can be explained by the concept of 'class'.Everyone is a certain group of class catergorized by different elements within us,salary, eduction, positions, status, vice verse. It'd be far-fetched to claim we have never tried to avoid touching the other group people.But being a civilized person, we at least should try to keep that evil force at leash. The way we treat others 'lower' than you could be in one way or another be presented on us someday, and no one wants to be the despised. There goes the say,set the begger to the horseback and he'll ride to the devil. Be a decent person, but the begger.

Should you really treat people like you're better. The answer is no. what is the point of treating someone and making them feel bad? you shouldnt take your job for granted, probrably one day your job may be no more and the person you treated like trash may trat you the same way. Thinking you're better doesnt always imply that you earn more money or fame it matters on how you trat others around you.

No no one is beter then other bye job or work all are doing work or job not only for money i think job is also a life style, every man must have to do somthing and all people around the world are doing somthink is any boday have so much money he also have to do work for at leat use his time i thing all are equel

there are a lot of people who acts like that. what is very irritating is some of those people are younger than you. its okay if they are older for they are wiser and the older people giving advice and suggestions does makes me wiser. but when a younger person acts that way then that would be pissing me. i am in a band and there are a lot of musician that is half my age blabbering about how good they are but you can not even see it once they perform. people tend to be airheads in the wrong way.

I think that's how the society is nowadays. I don't own a job yet but when I do, I hope I won't become like this. I've seen alot of people change after they graduate. My cousin is a phamacist and she has a good salary. Since then, she became arrogant even to my mom and her parents. My uncle lives with us an he's an engineer. He does look down on people when he compares their intellectual capacities to himself. They aren't bad people but they are simply lost in their own obsession. I believe that when I graduate an will work, I must stay humble and respect everyone and not judge them by their social status.

No a person is not better because of how much money they make or there job status and dont understand anyone who thinks that. Money dosent make a person better or more worthy of respect and I think more people should realize that just because they have a better job or car dosent mean they have the right to treat others like crap, I was raised to treat people how I want to be treated no matter what there personal status is in life, and just because a person may have a job that requires them to serve others or job that pays less dosent give me or anyone else the right to be rude and unreasonable, and people should also realize that anyone can fall on hard times, meaning they could lose those riches and the tables could turn so if were blessed to have money we should keep things in prospective and remember our humanity and show some respect to those who may not have the same things as we do because were all human beings no matter what we have or may not have.

Yea, that does happen in all walks of life, but I simply can't understand it. Why would a job, any type of job, make you inferior or superior to another? We all have our own special talents. Still, even in my own family, I've seen this. I used to go shopping with a cousin but I got so tired of the way she treated waitresses and clerks I refused to go out with her (and believe me, this lady has nothing to feel superior about). A job is a job, it may be a part of the person's life, sometimes a big part, but a job is not who the person is..that's just his or her employment. As to that jerky guy who got into with your wife, whenever someone treats me this way I always think of an old saying that goes, "When you point at any person in angry condemnation (like the guy looking down on your and your wife) just remember while you're doing so that you have four other fingers pointing back at yourself."

A lot of people these days belittle others, because they have the higher-paying or more sophisticated jobs. What a shame! We are all good at what we are capable of doing and find fulfillment in it, so thinking that one is job-wise better is so shallow. That is being arrogant and not even acknowledging one's value as a person already. We should remind ourselves to be level-headed in our jobs, especially when we know we are right.

I don't think i'm better by no means, i love telling people where i work because i'm proud of myself, i went though 2 years of working hard to get sponsored for school, then when through 2 years of school, and i'm with one of the biggest company's in the province, so i'm very proud to tell people where i'm working to, but as for thinking i'm better, not a chance, cause i've worked fast food, dollar stores, corner stores, i've done that. I had one girl (when i was working at KFC) come though drive-thru and she couldn't have what she wanted and got mad at me, to make the story short, she drove away saying 'Honey, this is a minimum wage job, get a life.' I had to contain myself from jumping thru the window and attacking her, i loved that job, the people were amazing, i still go back and visit them, and she though she was so much better than i was because i was working part-time at a fast food place while going to school. People can be so ignorant, and i do what i can not to be like them.
