[QUOTE="hunchback, post: 257284, member: 872"] Interesting story seasonal hire but don't get your hopes up too high. Come Dec. 26th you will be looking for a paycheck somewhere else. And if you have 26 years of employment experience then you must be in your low 40s. Tough age to start this job. I started at around 30 and I am feeling my age after 20 years of service. As far as your intro business lesson, please spare me. I know you disclaimered it but most of us know what the deal is. I graduated with a 4 year degree in business admin. so I took a few of your 101 courses as well as some advanced mgmt. and hoped to be a necktie with this "great company". After seeing what they were doing to junior operational managers and what they expected the juniors to do to hourlies, I changed my goals. Shame on me for not running away when I had the chance. What impressed me was that when I started we had a strong union who could effectively bargain for a decent compensation and work rule package in return for my hard work. As the years went on, I found my bid runs becoming more tolerable, so I have labored on with the carrot of a pension and health benefits dangling in front of me. I'm getting closer and hope that my body holds up long enough. I am happy for you that you have been hired and good luck. Don't hit anything and don't hurt yourself. But if you do get hired on beyond your seasonal gig, put everything you make into a 401k, but leave out enough for plenty of anal lube cuz you are gonna need it. [/QUOTE]
