I Don't Want to Work in a Factory
This whole work for your pay stuff in the new factory in Philadelphia is a little bit out of hand. They treat us laborers like trash and all of the management assumes we are the dumbest thing next to rocks therefore they herd us like animals and attempt to keep us "focused". As if there is anything else in a big rectangle with no windows and a bunch of machinery that is distracting us. Also, because I am an African-American man I get passed over quite often for jobs. The factory will lay off workers during a slow period and I always struggle to get rehired. But, for all my gripes and complaints, it is possibly the best paying job I could get considering my status other than my former part time teaching job. It is a give and take job, that I am not necessarily so sure about giving myself to.

ReplyDeleteIt's unfortunate that your race is such a factor in getting hired for jobs. Clearly, you are very intelligent and seem to have quite a good work ethic; it's terrible that those qualities are simply glossed over by some of the officials at these factories. If you end up taking a job at the factory, though, you will at least have a somewhat decent income. Regardless, I hope you don't have many more struggles in your path.
