[QUOTE="Richard Harrow, post: 1441783, member: 29614"] They'll keep you. 14 years ago I started in September as a part-time pre-loader, got caught in the freeze and retained afterwards. I was good at what I did, but the ridiculous turnover in this place certainly helped too - and it's only gotten worse. I had a helper last peak that was retained on the pre-load. Good kid, had a strong grasp of the object of the job. About two weeks ago he switched from glasses to contacts. He had 2 misloads on his 1100 piece set on a Monday. He was called into the office and TLA'd on it and they pretty much didn't care about the change because it screwed with their precious numbers. The next day he had 1. They called him in the office again with the intent of a second TLA (not even a warning letter) when he threw up his hands and said screw it and walked out. Show up on time everyday, work as directed unless it's unsafe, DO NOT become emotionally invested - just shake your head yes and take their money. That's the secret to a long and rewarding career here. [/QUOTE]
