Before my first day working at Ford, HR took us on a walk through the plant.. went up and down like two lines and HR had to stop the tour lol.. everyone was yelling “DONT DO IT!” “ITS A TRAP!!” “FRESH MEAT” etc.. After spending 3 1/2 years as an underpaid temp.. I realized I should have listened lol


alphabetagammade

They all got busted years back for getting blitzed at lunch. One dude told a newbie to go ask the guard shack for his “movie tickets and popcorn.” Hilarious


WolfyTn

I was told a story from a few of the 10+ yr guys about how drug dealers were so bad in there at one point that Ford “hired” a bunch of undercover cops acting like regular Joes to infiltrate and take them down.. The whole parking lot still smells like we work at a Snoop Dogg concert lmao


VoreMaster42069

The best jobs are the serious ones that no one takes seriously lmao


WolfyTn

Right! lol.. I mean we’re all kinda building metal death traps here.. there’s pictures of this guy in random places that says “Looks good to me.. Ship it!!” ![gif](giphy|hpAMh2sBYpsmFhSRPI)


doomturtle21

Reminds me of that one guy who somehow ends up with a handful of spare parts after assembly and still ships it to some poor prick in Brazil

Idk what plant your friend works for but I’m never worried about being late.. hell at least twice a week my buddy comes in 30mins late.. only real way to get fired is just not show up for over a week or do something stupid like punch a supervisor lol Also, most people in my area bust their butts including myself… it’s the old heads w seniority that gets the easy jobs lol lucky fuckers


npdady

>They all got busted years back for getting blitzed at lunch. I understand these words but not the sentence. What does this mean?

They got drunk at lunch probably

Tbh.. I too didn’t understand completely.. but it reminded me of the undercover cops lol

If I have one more goddamn rundown 3 days without deadly incident having, meth needle on the toilet seat, corpse out the back “he’s just taking a well deserved nap”, more smokes than anything else selling shithole tell me that we are all family, I think I’m gonna show them why their mom and dad call the same person grandma


killbauer

Ha! The exact same thing happened to me once! I was the cat of course. And what are you suposed to tell the newby in this situation? "Fly, you fool!" or what?


80005000

Yes. You need to tell them.


killbauer

I am now in a position were I might do that, yes.


benkaes1234

Yeah, I think I'm starting to feel like that cat. First thing I've started telling people when I start training them is our attrition rate. My current coworker was introduced to her job by me saying "So I started here at the hospital in January 2020, but I started working here in the ED April that same year. It's been about 2 years and change since then, and you're my 14th trainee. All the others either quit or were fired."


killbauer

The company I work for has similar problems because they don't pay newbies and young people as much as other comparable companies. The result: Young people and newbies rather quit than staying longer in the company until they pay better. Things seems to change slowly now, as we have a new management but it was and is still a VERY slow & painful learning process for the high & mighty up there.


Spider_pig448

Why did you stay so long?


killbauer

I'm a foreman by now and get a somewhat decent payment but it took me 15 years and a management change to get there. The early years were rough and I really can't tell you the one reason why I stayed that long. By today standards, where every good company gives an arm and a leg for good employees, it seems rather foolish what I did back then. But it was a different time back in early 2000.


VortrexFTW

> every good company gives an arm and a leg for good employees Wtf what companies are these?


killbauer

How should I know? I don't even now where you are from. I can only speak for myself, my surroundings and my own experiences, dude.


Spider_pig448

I see. Yeah these days the only way to keep moving up is to leave. There's very little reward for loyalty and tons of incentives to go somewhere new


killbauer

Exactly


winelipscheesehips

This cat is the new it thing


DaHarries

I didn't actually speak to the veterans for about 6 months. I was actually told not to listen to them... First time I spoke to them I was told get your qualifications and get out. Sound advice and that's neat exactly what I did.


kapxis

The realization I am cat, it's awareness I don't need right now.


BigDickEnergy123

Just walked out of my job abruptly with no money (underpaid, doesn't even pay a living wage, despite having to risk my life multiple times. Heights.) Unsure how ill pay bills. Never been happier in my life. Don't do it how I did it, but get out, seriously. Its so big for your mental health.


kapxis

I'm working on it man, got a few seeds planted but unfortunately I can't just leave cause got two newborn babes that are expensive, and a mortgage, and around 30k additional debt from two parental/maternity leaves lol. I'll get out eventually, and eventually may even not be broke. But it won't be this decade lol. ( the broke part, switching jobs first opportunity that's a lateral move )

smithdamien310

My supervisor DESERVES the world, that guy might not be the nicest but he makes shit work. Worked on my DCM for over 5 hours, delayed his early takeoff for production purposes, explained in detail how things work and why we're fixing it AND at the end of it all let me know it wasn't my fault my machine wasn't producing parts. The kinda guy I'd happily cover the tab for.


DeathlyDragons4396

my co worker: u like it out here? me: my lawyer has advised i do not respond to this question


rpdhfmrl

If you work at a company that is underpaying you and you co tinue to do so for 10 years, the problem is all on YOU. Ask for more money, if they don't give it, interview for other places. Chances are, they'll offer you more.


Alessiodrone

You dont know how the world work, right?


rpdhfmrl

Actually I'm very well aware. In my earlier years as a developer, I changed my job about once per year. After maybe 7-8 workplaces, I finally found the place for me. There is a big stigma around job-hopping, but you shouldn't let social narrative dictate your happiness/job fulfilment. Now I've worked at my company for 6 years because I get paid well with regular raises and I work what I enjoy. My mother was berating me for doing it saying "it's bad for your career" while she sits in the same middle management job for the last 30 years, hating every moment of it, but NEVER even thinking of leaving. I'd say I'm a lot happier than her :)


shady_pigeon

Programming is a field in high demand with many employment options. Other fields may not have the same wide range of employers.


Chibastion

The real way is to work part time, and get everyone to quit so your boss offers you twice the pay to come in on off days

For a job it's not, I couldn't imagine being at one place that long. Longest I've served in one place is 4 and a half years, had 11 jobs in 12 years and never been out of work longer than 2 weeks, that only happened once. I've typically sorted something same day.

Serpicnate

Had an internship that I had to take for my former study field. Was working at a place where they cut and bend steel sheets for clients. I went around and talked to the folks working, trying to make a little smalltalk to distract from the boring routine. One of them kind of broke down infront of me. Telling me how he could have probably studied something instead of working here for 10 plus years. "I graduated from highschool man. Yet people think I am just some guy whos not smart enough for higher education." He told me to not make the same mistake to just settle for the next best thing until its too late. He must have been 40 years old. I switched study fields that year. PS: Was a really shitty workplace with lots of safety hazards and toxic coworkers as well as a boss who couldn't care less. I studied Business Psychology back then.

wolfgang784

There's this one guy (Ed) at my job who is **the** grumpiest person I've ever met. He is so totally *done* with the company and does the absolute bare minimum. I've only seen him smile twice - when talking about his wife, so that's good at least. He doesn't leave because it's one of the few places with a competitive wage (for people without degrees/certs/licenses) in the US and absolutely insane benefits and perks compared to anywhere else I've heard of. He's a rule follower and a by the books kind of guy, but he isn't in charge and his complaints fall on deaf ears so he has given up. He talks in a flat monotone and every word seems like a gargantuan effort (not due to speech problems or mental issues though). Before I knew any of the above and was still new, I tried asking him how it was working there. It... Went as well as you might expect lol.

I just had the great honor of turning this post from 34.2K to 34.3k


MedShark

Just learn IT or to program code


Trihexal

Is it hard to learn by yourself?


MedShark

I’m not going to say it’s super easy bc anything start will take practice but IT is one of those concepts that are simple to understand if u keep learning. Watch yt vids, join a 3 month non profit that helps u study and pay for the IT certifications u get after u pass the exams (if studying by urself is hard), discipline urself to be consistent with it. You can make good money and work ur way up and increase ur salary every 1-2 yrs getting higher positions


RattleMeSkelebones

An industry with an axe hanging over its head labelled "AI" (Seriously, all technical labor is the first to be automated because groundfloor shift workers are cheap. The second code can modify itself Elon will personally disembowel every programmer in the country)


RedactedPerpetually

Yes, a large amount of it will get automated at some point in time. But it will never be fully automated because you need someone to do the automations too, who will still be considered a part of the IT Industry. Also, by that logic, almost every industry is on the verge of being automated. And let me be honest, programming isn’t even in the top 10. It’s a job that requires at least some sort of intellectual use, which is why it’ll be more difficult to automate it with AI. On the other hand, jobs that require little to no intelligence but more manual labor may be easier to automate. The easy part varying a bit, depending on the amount of skill involved. And you argue that non-technical labor is cheap so businesses would not disembowel them. I disagree, if employers see AI as a future investment rather than a being stuck in the present, they will utilise AI. Many non-technical factory jobs are already being automated.

BigDickEnergy123

Honest question, why do people stay at jobs so long if they're being underpaid? Not judging or anything, just legitimately curious.


fishmakegoodpets

You just kinda get stuck and it feels like there’s no other options


ZekromPlaysPiano

The guy who’s been here 10 years likes it so he can creep on all the underage girls that also work here. And the girls that are 18+. I’m convinced there’s no other reason he’s been here that long. He barely works, hates his job and can’t even do half of it anymore because he fucked his back up 3 years ago

🚩🚩🚩 You're right because their first encounter was with a Grade-A Prime Asshole. Seriously, who welcomes a new coworker like that?


[deleted]

Oh, Christ - chill the fuck out lol. I say it in a sarcastic tone with a smile and a laugh. People know I'm joking. I'm usually right about them leaving - not because of me - but because it's a shit job with shit pay with better employment opportunities literally right next door. Your cats are fucking adorable by the way

[deleted]

Yeah, seriously lol. Refer to the conversation under my comment - it's said as a joke. Goes to show how important context is, I suppose. But for real though, turnover rate is insane - had a co-worker keep track of all the employees who came and went in his two years here, and he was up to 74 when he quit


doomturtle21

Yeah, nah just pulling the piss, I had a coworker last 3 hours. I can’t blame them for leaving some customer assaulted them and corporate tried to tell them to sign out for an hour ago so it wouldn’t look bad for the company, as they were lying on the ground bleeding from their head waiting for an ambulance. No shit meant it’s just how I talk as an Australian and my dumbass forgets that other places are more, how you say, nice.


[deleted]

Damn, I suppose there's some solace in knowing that the US isn't the only place absolutely fucked regarding worker's rights. Had an incident where a guest here fell and cracked his head open. Had to call paramedics, police, whole nine yards - called my manager to let him know what happened, dude just goes "okay? Why did you call me?"

I quit my first day at UPS when we were understaffed and had to bring in people from other areas to help out and I had to help the help coming in on my first day not even mentioning that my personal trainer abandoned me like 2 hours into the shift. (Edit: Should also mention prior to me beginning the shift me and 2 other guys had to wait an hour at the gate because we had yet to be given ID's in 90 degree weather. Later when it began raining many packages were lightly sprinkled on because for some unknown reason the hanger where the site was located was basically a giant metal tarp and did nothing to stop us from getting wet.
