    Fuck the grindset. I worked 65 hour weeks for five years and will never go back. My new job is hard capped at 40 thanks to a union.

      I was complaining about my boss to one of my friends and he said that he guarantees my boss is being cheated on by his wife.

      I hope that all of our shitty bosses get the karma they deserve.

    It should be ALL about hour hourly rate. If you are dragging that down by giving away your time then jokes on you.

      You can finish before your contract, but yeah, you need to be contracted.

        The only way I’m going to remodel my house is with enough cash to do it. And working extra hours is my only option to make that happen, even if it means 9-10 hour days in a factory then coming home and working on the house.

        & I wouldn’t ever tell my boss this but it’s easy to roll into the shop at 6 AM and drink some coffee and sit around and bullshit a bit before starting the day.

        It’s easy to say a union issue while removed from it but union jobs are few and far between in this type of manufacturing. Almost everyone I work with is pretty non-union, or are young kids right out of school. I mean there’s really only a few bigger panels shops in this whole city.

        I’d probably agree with you on a more philosophical level, but reality is often different.
