Nic Robinson is a 20 year old manager at the San Jose Giants minor league baseball stadium. He grew up in Capitola California, just down the coast from Santa Cruz. He graduated from Bellarmine High in San Jose in 2005 and consequently applied to San Jose State. Although accepted and enrolled in classes he soon found out that San Jose State was not for him. He went on to apply at San Jose City College and is currently enrolled there. In 2006 Nic realized he needed a job around campus and proceeded to apply to work at the stadium. Robinson was placed on cashier duty in the hotdog and beer stands.
After the first season was over, Nic was invited back to work as a minor manager for stall “A”. Here he would be in charge of the entire stand including the employees working there. During his second season working for the Giants, Nic displayed leading qualities and an organized work ethic. His bosses were happy with his progress and he was soon beginning to get invited to go drink with the bosses after the games. This apparently is a big step in a San Jose Giants staff career as it proves their trust and hopes in him. At the end of the season he was again asked to return for the 2008 season as a general stall manager. Furthermore Nic Robinson was placed on a fixed salary, which emphasizes the importance and the level of his new position.
As a general stall manager Nic now has the liberty to wear what he wants instead of the assigned Giants “Staff” shirt. However his job is not any more glorified than most other positions. Despite having a higher pay grade and having control over many lower level employees he still has to do basic busy work. As you can see In the photos, he still has a number of “busy work” jobs to do including constant trips to the storage room to restock the stalls, during busy hours he still has to help make hot-dogs and other ball park foods. His most important job however is to count and collect all the cashier money and give it to his boss. All in all he really enjoys the fast paced stressful environment of a baseball game, not to mention that he can sit and watch the games when he has a couple minutes to breathe.
