Civilian Jobs

Tweet

It always amazed me at how bad these companies treat new people. I get it, why be nice to unproven people who most likely are just going to take a days pay or weeks pay from the profits. Just thinking about the last three companies I started work for. Why I NEVER want to go back Of course, one I ended up working for 10 years. That one was when I was young though and maybe more hungry. Just being out of the Marines and wanting to prove people wrong. The people who said I should have stayed in more or less. Well, 10 years is a hefty price to prove some people wrong. Not only that, but was never able to depend on myself financially. Obviously, these were no college educated jobs. College educations seem to be offering the same postilions now though. One was a manufacturing plant and was lucky to start there, because who knew they would soon send all those jobs over seas. The other was unloading trucks by hand and the last one might as well as been a manufacturing plant. In late and I mean late 1999 I had cut myself working in the yard where I lived at the time. I had worked at the new place for a couple of days. Think I had reopened my wound just by coming in the door. It was one of those heavy duty doors and with all the bay doors open so the rigs could pick up the companies product open. It made some sort of a vacuum where it made the people door slam shut. Stopping the door must have reopened the wound. I did not notice at first, but was bleeding. Thought I caught it in time and fixed my boo boo in the restroom. Nope, and this is a three shift company. We are there to replace them for the day. Which means, as they are coming off the floor, someone spotted my leaked blood on the floor. It was just a couple of drops. Someone reported it and the next thing you know their whole shift was making a giant scene. Just out of the Marines and these are the reactions to a tiny cut. No one asks if I was OK. Instead they mock me for trying to cover it up. See, this could cost the company money and people can get fired over such a thing. Welcome to the world outside the Marines. Of course, I did not stand for it and yelled at every one of them. Maybe that is why they hired me. Who Knows. Anyway, to make a long story short. It just got worst at the other two companies that I started for. All different reasons, but did learn poor people are just as bad as rich people. They will do anything for their crappy position to remain at a company that does not even offer them a living wage. Only a tiny few showed you the ropes, but by the time you met those people. You were probably already on your way out the door. There is something fundamentally wrong with this country right now and maybe the world. Civilian Jobs suck on the lower end and it needs to be rectified. That is no way to inspire a workforce and to make a country better. They are killing unions for these type of jobs. Just straight baffled.
