Factory / Plant work

Anybody else work in one?
Bust their fuckin ass off for low wage
Oh but the benefits... oh yes, the benefits
The mandatory overtime is getting old quick
At least I'm not in a goddamn plastic factory or die-casted
aluminum foundry anymore
No music to propel the endorphs tho
It's funny, everytime someone has to announce something over
the 'com, it feeds back horribly and very loudly
I just yell "who fukin caresssss" or "next time, play some
Skynard" like some senial old man
Feel like I'm livin 8 Mile
Wish I could make guitars, synths, subs (I also built sub
enclosures)... shit that makes a music maker happy

Be quite assertive with what you will and won't do. Try not
to piss them off or they will badmouth to all the other
agencies.

I suppose it depends how badly you want the work.

Yeah, anyone who's got advice on the temp thing please spit
it out, i've never dealt with them before but i need a job
as soon as i get back from glade, cash has gone beyond tight
into "genuinely frightening".

I am considering changing my job. Too dangerous. Too much
bullshit. Not worth ten dollars an hour. Need something laid
back...

I've heard some horror stories, that's for sure. Surely they
can't all be bad though? Office Angels anyone? I just
want to shuffle paper and bash my head on a keyboard for 8
hours a day, is that really so wrong?

in the midst of a person being paid 32 an hour for the same
job.

needless to say i walked away.

Well, it depends on which agency you apply to.
I've worked four about 5 diff. ones, and you basically get
the shaft when it comes to benefits / medical / vacation
time, etc.
IMO, if you can, get on with a company directly. I'm now
working for the best company I've ever been with b/c of the
benefits, raises every 90 days, vacation (they give you your
fucking birthday off with full pay), the whole 9.
If you have to go thru a temp service until you get on, do
your job, don't miss but don't put up with others' shit.
I've worked with too many connies and shady bitches but I
just pass em off and go about my shift unless they were to
physically try to start something; Of course, I would go to
the agency super then.
Oh yeah, think safety first. hahahahahaaaaa

Oh yeah, paid training fucking rules ass
I love sitting in a classroom and getting $$ for it
4 hours of safety shit? No problem. I'd sit thru 10 for my
cut

I'd say avoid going to an agency. Just go it alone it's
always the best way.

As forr factorry/ plant worrk I've neverr done it. I'm
worrking in a warrehouse now, I've only just starrted and
it's getting old fast. It's the most money I've everr been
on though. Which isn't saying much. I'm going therre in the
next half hourr. 8.30 starrts forr the firrst thrree days
this week :) :) :)

Bye Carl! If you get bored, steal a forklift truck.

Carl works in a warehouse. When Carl has lots of money and
experience he will go elsewhere to work. Eventually Carl
will be replaced by:

[ ] ro-bot
[ ] little girl
[ ] Carl mark II
[ ] a junkie who will steal a forklift
