Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. They informed me they were lawyers throughout the meal, which explained the gorgeous house. My boyfriend excitedly told them I was promoted manager at my job. They asked where I work. I work at Burger King. FML

He EXCITEDLY said you were promoted to manager. He's proud of you! YDI because it isn't bad. Don't be bummed.

Hey, you gotta start somewhere. Hopefully his parents understand that. Odds are they were in similar positions early on, too.

Show it anyway

I think we need an age to know if it's embarrassing or not

If you're young and using the job to pay through college then you're fine. If you're 35 and just can't get a better job, YDI.

no big deal? Boyfriend: oh yea my parents r lawers dad: yes it's very fancy and professional and shit mom: where do you work? her: oh I'm now cheif of slushies at burger king that doesn't sound like a big deal?

I think its cool that the bf was genuinely excited about it, shows that he is proud, and what?? everyone has to work shotty jobs every now and then

I wouldn't say everyone! There are families in which dad appoints son for important positions!

I agree. And if you're able to take on the position of manager, you probably have the ingenuity to get a well paying job in the future.

Agreed with #1 and #3, that really isn't that bad at all. Unless you're 20+, of course.

Da ****? You expect 19 year olds to be running Burger King??

I work at jimmy johns, and we've got 3 night time managers, 2 of which are 19, and the other is 20.

yeah if you're under 20, this isn't bad at all. it's not like they expect you to be a lawyer yourself. or own your own company or something.

Burger King ain't that bad, I used to work at one lol and i agree with #4, you have to start somewhere =)

There's nothing wrong with BK. Especially being a manager there. It's a great start. =) This isn't an FML.
