You're talking annual, I assume? Are you a union worker or non-union?
I used to work recieving side, which I guess is generally the shit-test for people before sending them to the actual warehouse/distribution center. We had a fair amount of women and retards, the truly horrible ones tended to quit or get fired within a month but we had a few that made me want to bash my head against a wall.
Very unsatisfying work, I'd only do it again as a last resort.

>All of this kinda shit happening all the time, but we get called in the office for a 40 minute conversation to discuss why we had a 2 minute gap in our work.
>We also use voice recognition equipment... which logically would be noise sensative. SO what does management do? LITERALLY EVER 5 MINUTES THEY SCREAM DOWN THE TANNOY SYSTEM. This creates those little 2 minute gaps that they complain about.
I want to see my company go under, I don't give a fuck if I lose my job, so long as management loses theirs too.
Considered taking a list of complaints to corporate. Looked online about law firms too.
They've ignored complaints about the tannoy system and how it affects our performance, as well as still have a go at us for our performance - technically this means it's a hostile work environment. We could all sue... but I think no one wants to trouble but each day there and I'm starting to want that fight more and more.
Warehouse work sucks balls. I literally just wanna do my job, and these assholes make up tonnes of bullshit to drag us in the offices and complain. Bitch, this is why we're losing money, how'd you get this fuckin' job?

Warehouse brings out the worst in people. There are some great guys, most based guy I ever worked with was an ESL guy named Jesus who used to work in construction before getting laid off, and decided working here was more secure and /comfy/ even though it paid less.

They said in the little new hire powerpoint that they'll pay tuition for college, so I'll definitely see if it's anything substantial, and even if it's not I'll just do some payment plan and go back to school.

How do you figure? It's a fulfillment center in the Midwest. No appliances or anything like that. People say it's supposed to be very easy work. $13.00/hr with a 50 cent raise I believe every 6 months up to $14.50

Dude, my work with a construction company just ran dry. I've been applying to warehouse jobs all day. It looked shitty, but not as shitty as working retail or in a low-end office, like the bank or apartment industry.

Norway or Switzerland? Worked for an electrician before. The jobs are usually piss easy but the guy lost his shit over every little thing, like if other people were happy he couldn't be happy.

Switzerland
Are you from the us?
Did you even need an apprenticeship for working as an electrician?
>>26657552
Yes, I'm an American. No, I just assisted with his jobs. Again, most of it is little things that you can learn to do yourself within a month, because who's going to poke around a breaker box or live wires if they don't know what they need to do? If I were to be an electrician myself, independently or for a company, then I'd need to be a certified electrician. The business owner was the electrician, I just assisted him and did jobs he was too busy to do, under his name.

In the USA you have to have a trade school/2-year diploma just to get an apprenticeship unless you know somebody.

the description I'm reading on gawker is the warehosue I'll work at, but this guy is talking about the temp agency they contract
I was hired directly
>>26657647
Are there more self employed ones or workera for big companies. I find it strange that I've never heard about the life of a construction site worker in the US. Always see those common office jobs, factory workers or overall customer service jobs on tv. How are the security-standards, payment, working hours, overall satisfaction? Can you enlighten me a bit?
>>26657647
>tfw worked electrical for about a year
>tfw would love to get into bare-earth construction (as an electrical worker) again
Residential service calls, and even some of the commercial service calls, absolutely sucked if you ask me. Residential was the worst, you'd have small jobs with long commutes between, and I pride myself on attention to detail in my own shop but doing finish work in someone else's home (which they're currently living in) is kind of stressful sometimes. Don't know if I could ever do any service calls again.

I hate this shit more than anything, happens everywhere in normie world. Like just SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP WASTING TIME WITH MEETINGS ABOUT WASTED TIME ARE YOU RETARDED?

Probably more electricians working for companies overall, but the real money is in opening your own business, if you're certified This goes for pretty much anything trade-wise. For construction, the pay is generally shitty but you'll probably get at least 40 hrs a week, with overtime if you want it. If you've been doing one thing for a long time, you can be a master of that thing and mostly just tell the other guys what to do with it, like concrete or something. It's better to just learn a proper trade than go into general construction with the goal of anything more than an "until something better" job.
That being said, it beats the fuck out of working retail or in a bank or apartment office, or sales. You just get to wallow in negativity, not smile or say "How can I help you?", and you mostly get a regular 9-5, M-F, with an hour lunch. You also get paid to get fit, assuming you don't go for beer and burgers everyday.
