[QUOTE="union4life, post: 1055614, member: 35190"] In my 21 years I can honestly say I have never heard a fellow employee say "I hate my job." Many people complain in order to deal with the stress. They need an outlet. From my personal experience, I can tell you how excited I was (in the beginning) to make the money and have the security this job provides. After time, I noticed and experienced events on the job that altered my perspective. I am still very grateful but not so much to the company as I am to my fellow Teamsters. The ones who took the time to show me how to keep my job despite the company's best efforts to exploit my best intentions and efforts and then treat me in a sort of "disposable" manner. If you are around for even a little while, you will notice the same no matter what operation you are in or which side of the table you sit on (barganning unit or management). If you search around on this and other forums you will see a remarkable trend of employees who think they are "hard workers, never cause trouble by filing grievances, and break the little rules to favor management". Eventually, those individuals wind up on a message board asking how a company they did so much for can simply fire them or discipline them. I myself like to here the folks around me complain. That way I know they aren't just bottling it up and holding it. The quite ones are the ones that scare me. Those are the ones I really try to be friendly to. I know one day they may "snap" and go off on any one who has given them [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] over the years. Lucky for me, all my sups are a-holes and they will take all the rounds while the rest of us get the heck out of there, LOL. Hope you make the right choice. I look forward to my next 20 years.
