    At my current job, people keep remarking how fast I unload a truck.

    I just laugh to myself. I’m not fast - I just work at a steady pace and utilize efficient methods.

    I know and have know plenty of people that can move faster than me but its almost always at the expense of their quality.

    I just see no reason to be ‘the fastest gun in the west’ if you can’t hit the broadside of a barn.

      Same but loading instead.

      I was just thinking today about how I keep bitching in my head about the number, and then realize I run it all day no problem.

      Just gotta hit that flow.

      The fact that it’s hot probably helps as well, the inside of a trailer gets hot even with 2’ diameter fans, you have to learn to be efficient.

      I’m so glad I started over winter, it gave me plenty of time to start to figure out timing and pacing.

      Plus y’know the unreal amount of money it pays for work that isn’t even that hard once you’ve built the muscles.

        Don’t sell yourself short. Pay isn’t about how hard your work is. It’s about how much money the company makes off of you and how quickly they can replace you.

        This was obvious during the pandemic when all the “low skill” jobs hiked their wages. It turned out most office jobs were not as important as retail work, so lots of people in retail got raises for the same work.
