[QUOTE="IDoLessWorkThanMost, post: 315066, member: 12912"] Make your trial period. Don't hurt yourself but go quickly and hustle. After your trial period. Work safely, use loadstands, and work an even pace. There are no numbers that you can be fired for. Do not let supervisors intimidate you to work fast and unsafely. If they harrass you, talk to a shop steward and tell him/her about it. Make it known that you will not hurt yourself nor work unsafely in efforts to get done quickly. Remember, working fast only reduces your hours and can hurt your body. Surely supervisors and managers benefit from your speed, but don't let them bully you around. One important thing is that most new hires do not understand that "so and so pieces an hour" is not in any contract and is only numbers that managers go by to rate performance. You cannot be fired for not doing so many pieces as they want. [/QUOTE]
