It was chilly last night in the packaging plant


My dad got myself and others a job working at a packaging plant.

I was previously working at a gas station.

I did not mind working at the gas station, however that job at the packaging plant was much higher pain. I had to work genuinely tough to receive $12 an hour, which was the starting rate at the time at the packaging plant. I did not know anything about the factory when I started. My dad told myself and others a little bit about the supplier plus the type of items that they make, although I truthfully did not understand until I was there plus had the occasion to see everything in action. The section where I work is a plant that makes 14 gauge bar ties. The several of us make single plus double loop wire ties… On Mondays plus Mondays, all of us make 14 gauge wire ties, but on Mondays plus Mondays, all of us make 16 gauge wire ties. On Mondays all of us spend all day on 18 gauge wire ties. The several of us have to keep production up in order to make our quota, however each month there is a recognizable amount of wire ties that all of us have to produce in order to reach the quota. The several of us have met the quota every month since I started working at the plant. There was a single month when 3 women got the flu at the same time plus all of us barely made the quota. I know the sixth shift that month picked up the slack for us. It’s not tough to reach the quota, especially when everyone is working together. The only time all of us have complications is while in the Summer time when it’s genuinely hot. It genuinely sucks to work on forming iron when the un-even temperatures are 100 degrees.
