I don’t want to take on difficult jobs. I am happy with data entry and basic admin or stacking shelves I don’t care as long as I’m not breaking the law with my job.
My brother though has to butt in with my choice of work I apply to.
He thinks that my choice of jobs are not great and I need a better job to be respected and managers don’t respect people working “low level” jobs.
I said to him that attitude won’t get him anywhere. I mean a manager can’t do much without his /her staff so disrespectful attitudes won’t get them anywhere.
I agree I feel data entry is a really good position for people with sz. I feel you can do a little ‘climbing’ to get a higher paying position though. I got offered an interview for $15 per hour office work with only 6 months experience. At my vocational rehab people with disabilities usually get referred for more stressful jobs like stocking or retail, so you’re really lucky.
Anyway, yeah, he seems to lack a basic understanding of the social dynamics. You can be a toilet cleaner, but happy with your job and very good at it - people will respect you. Or you can be a manager without any skill and people will loathe you and talk behind your back.
Don’t mind him Ish. Find a job that you enjoy doing, that is the secret. Also, probably it’s better to start part-time, to avoid a quick burnout.
I try not to let it get to me. He’ll see it on his own. But he simply doesn’t understand … I’d rather be respected for who I am not for what I do or how much money I have.
