yeah, i am thankful. i probably don't seem like it cause i complain so much, but it's so frustrating for him to be jerked around when they said he'd be on 7-3:30 for six weeks from his hire date, but they're switching him. he's pretty upset about it...more than me (understandably so)
I'd be pissed too, and he works in manufacturing right? From my experience working in manufacturing they are nearly always understaffed and always have people who have been there for decades who are a pain to deal with and sometimes the person who was hired last gets the short of it. I'm sorry. :(
Yeah, he works at Viskase. They make the red bologna wrapper and the casing that forms hotdogs. They don't shut down - not even for holidays.
And the shitty thing is, once he's trained, he goes to twelve hours shifts. If the person that is supposed to come in after him calls in or is no call, no show, then he has to stay six extra hours, meaning he'd work an eighteen hour shift. And more than likely have to come back the next day. I have manufacturing with a passion. I know it's essential to life, but they treat their workers as just an employee number on an assembly line.
