So I work "construction" here in Central Illinois. one of the big things we have going on is a contract with CAT to repair the metal lined boxes that their forktruck drivers use to haul around heavy parts. Thats what I've been doing the past year and a half (minus a 7 month layoff).
We have a quota of 40 boxes per day per person that we're supposed to reach. Beat out, welded, and re-painted.
I quit my old job and went there when the owner (this is a family run business btw) promised to pay me $15 an hour, give me health insurance and get me working torwards moving up in the company.
I'm making $11.50 an hour, no insurance, and the only time I've left the damn shop is a 3 month stint in Miami on a job, which blew goat balls.
Now the owners daughter, a girl I went to school with is the "secretary". She gets paid $1,000 a week to do payroll and unlock the shop in the mornings cause none of us can be trusted with the keys. Apparently we're all theives.
This morning I came in 2 minutes late, and lo and behold, the ***** is there. When she got snippy with me about being soooo damn late I told her the truth, that I was held up by a poo incident with my 8 month old son. The dumb ***** then informs me that maybe I should wake him up earlier and get things figured out cause my tardiness is going to come to a head. This is the first time in over 2 months that I've been late.
She also informed us that quota is moving up to 50 boxes a day. We collectively told her that we'll be requiring a raise if thats to happen. We've all been promised this and that since working there, so everyone is fed up.
The owner came in today to try to smooth things out with us. I brought up his promise of $15 an hour and health insurance when I first started.
The cocksucker informed me that that conversation never took place!
I could ****ing scream.....
I cant wait to get through my EMT course(s) and get out of there. Cocksuckers
NEVER WORK FOR A FAMILY RUN BUSINESS.
Rant over...time for a pint.
