Heck? I'll have no such expletives in my el jay!

Like I said in my post, they set the bar too high. They wanted me to be able to capture over 6000 feet of film a day while still running the video and audio capture machines. It's an unrealistic proposition, as on my last day, I was working exclusively on the film machines. I busted my ass as much as I could and still only got 4200 feet captured.

Those numbers were allegedly set by one of the other guys that works there. But he is the type of guy who, on that very same day, decided to clock out but still work through his lunch. He also stays late every day for who knows how long after everyone else has gone home.

To me it seems that this company is basically asking me to devote myself as much as this other guy does, but instead of outrightly asking me to skip lunch and stay late, they are just giving me a number nearly physically impossible to attain in a standard 8-hour shift.

I frankly don't want to have anything to do with such shenanigans.
