lost my job today! ho ho ho. haha. heh. ecch.
yep, lost my job today. the temporary employment agency called me up and said don't bother going to work tonight, you got laid off.
well. I had been working there 4-1/2 years as a (piddling) lab tech, 7 days a week for the first 3 years, on the night shift no less. I put in more overtime than anybody in the history of the temp agency, 800+ hours of overtime a year, for 3 years in a row. I do anything for 1 year and I'm going to be damn good at it. I do anything for 2 years and I'm a frikkin' pro. I been there 4.5 years. I could spin that place around on my little finger.
and I did everything and anything for them. they wanted me to work, I was there. they wanted me off, ok no problem. this is forkin ridiculous. at one time there was only me and the boss to do the work of 4 people, we worked 12 hour shifts each (7 days a week) cuz the place runs 24 hours a day. that was because Kenny had a heart attack. lemme tell you about Kenny.
Kenny was an old man, about to retire. another lab tech. a 65 year old lab tech. he'd been there at least 13 years. he was counting the days off until he was going to retire from that place. when I first started working there, he was on 1634 days until retirement. he was disgusted with that place. it used to be (large food manufacturer) until SOMEONE ELSE bought it out, he said now all they put out is crap. also he was disgusted with his whole career: he got a BS in chemistry (like I do) in 1970. he worked as a janitor to put himself through school to become a CHEMIST. lots of money, right? (haaaahahahaha not). he said he made more money as a janitor, and look where he ended up. a lab tech. he would tell me he would rather have been a wildlife photographer.... and shake his head. this is how he ended up. he was disgusted.
anyways, about 400 days left, he had a heart attack. they had to put a stent in his artery. me and the boss had to cover for him for a few weeks until he could come back to work. 12 hour shifts to cover 24 hours. so he came back, and really wasn't looking well. he made it to the last day and retired. I don't know how long he's going to last. that's how his dreams ended.
so they hired some other [mud]heads that are so stupid. they been working there for a year now and, one of them still doesn't know how to work the phone she's so damn stupid (and she's a [w]itch to boot), one is so slow everybody else in the plant can't stand him cuz he's holding them up, and the other is such a ^^$*$ [w]itch they call her Devila (bosnian for Devil).
the idiots they hire are so bad it makes me feel bad even being in the same (low skill) job as they got, but they lay ME off?!?!?!?! what the helll??!?! far as I know the idiots didn't get laid off. and I been working there 4 times as longer, do the job 5 times better, and can LITERALLY do the work of any 2 of them put together when we get swamped.
AND that place is so disgusting when I first started working there I thought I would shoot myself if I was there longer than 6 months. the whole place smells like a sweaty foot. the cafeteria smells like a fish aquarium. we used to be able to smoke in the cafeteria, but then they made us go outside to a riduculous little picnic table with some scrap metal over it and called it a "smoking area". why don't you try going out there 4 times a night, in the middle of the night, in winter, when it's 15 degrees out. or 40 degrees and sleeting. that place SUCKED. there were snitches. there were psychos. one asshat I was an inch away from beating up kept sneaking up on me in the lab and poking me in the back, he thought it was funny. other people he would sneak up on and watch them from around the corner until they turned around and saw him. everybody hated that freak.
and they would all get together to piss you off if they thought it amusing. after I told that asshat (they all hate) to quit poking me in the back, a few weeks later someone else walked by and poked me in the back. I said hey don't do that. next week someone else did it. next week someone else did it. and again. and again. until I told the next person that poked me in the back that I didn't like it because when younger, I had been trained by my dad to grab such people, throw them on the ground and stomp their face. (I was, really, and I can do that faster than you can blink without any warning) so they quit. except for the ones that really wanted to piss me off, they started up again after a while. god damn did that grate on my nerves.
these other guys that wanted to piss me off waited until I was on the manlift, and shut it off between floors. a manlift is like a conveyor belt for people, it goes between floors and it's cheaper than an elevator. some of them went from a basement a few floors underground, all the way up to 8 floors up, and these were big floors. if you go all the way to the top and look down, you're looking at about 15 regular stories to the bottom.... and you're standing on a platform the size of a milk crate, bolted to a rubber belt. so they stopped it, they figured I would be stuck because I'd have to jump 10 feet to the nearest floor, and they wasn't going to come around for another half hour or so. but I jumped off anyways. they could have got in DEEP DEEP ca-ca for doing that, but they didn't. such is the benefits of senority in a union.
that place was in such a run down part of town, they told me there was a guy found bound and gagged and shot, on the railroad tracks, just around the corner. they told me once in a while there were bums that would wander through the buildings and mooch for food, a buck or a cigarette. they stole the fax machine. they broke into the food machine. they cut someone with a knife. I never saw one, but the stories are there. they also told me that one time 2 guys got in a fight before getting out the front door and 1 of them got beat to death.
I had to chain my steering wheel to the brake pedal to keep it from getting stolen. numerous cars have been stolen out of the parking lot, even in broad daylight. someone snatched the T-tops off a guy's car and went down the street with them in broad daylight. supervisors were afraid about the new "smoking area" in the parking lot, because they thought come summer, someone was going to get seriously hurt by a thug.
not only that, car theives would steal cars and leave them in the parking lot to get them later! one time, we unknowingly gave some thieves a jump start before the real owners showed up to get their car.
and the snitches, backstabbing, and feuds that would go on. everybody was afraid to say anything The Management might not like because of snitches. ther were people who hated that place so bad, they literally would take the other interstate so they didn't have to look at that place when they drive by.
when I first started working there, I was told I would find out that it was like prison. it sure was. they called the head cheese "the warden". and he sure did act like it. no surprise, since that place SUCKED so bad they had problems finding employees, they had to hire work release from prison and Bosnians (because they didn't speak english and couldn't get a job elsewhere).
the management was a bunch of rotten, backstabbing, corn-holing gaggle of cronies, except for the safety guy. so they had to get rid of him. they told him he dind't have time to do some safety training, go do (something else) instead. so later on they fired him becasue he didn't do that safety training. guess who took his place? the warden's neigbor. and you know it, he was just as much a crony as the rest of them. so much he wanted to make me puke.
so, wth?? I had a BS in CHEMISTRY for chrissakes. I never could find a job much better than this. now I've been working here for 4-1/2 horrid putrid wretched years, and I definitely won't get anything better cuz once you get a job in "a field", so I've now been told, you're stuck. my base salary was 12.50 $/hr. what a froking joke. I'm now 40 years old, instead of 35 (which was still laughable) and what the FFFFF kind of job am I going to get next?? maybe move on up to dishwasher somewhere?? plus, it won't be until at least a month before anybody starts hiring again. so I'm guaranteed to go a month without $$$ before I can even put in an application somewhere.
this FFFFF sucks. I hated them. now I really hate them. I hated the little-yappy-dog-like fools in the temp agency that got me there iin the first place. (btw, they lied to me, they told me if I put in some time there I could get a legitimate laboratory job somewhere else) I know I'm going to hate the dozens of asshats that turn me down for a job because "I'm not qualified". no poop, how am I ever going to be "qualified", asshat. I know I'm going to hate the morons I get to work with in the next low-paying, low-skill, dead end job.
I FFF hate everybody involved in the whole cluster-forking, conniving, soul-sucking, life-destroying mess they call "scientific jobs".
of course, I like my friends here at Gum Broker.

Don't know whether to say sorry or congrats!! Would seem that "Congrats" is the best from info offered! 0 -
It sounds like you were miserable and the place sucked so look at it as a gift because without them moving your butt out of there you might well have stayed another five years.
probably right... another year or two.
Sorry BUSCH.
Losing a job sucks. For each door that closes, another door opens. Keep us posted on your doors.
will do.
sounds like you should have been looking for a job 4 years and 5 months ago.
that was the plan... but I got sidetracked.
You have a BS in chemistry and only make $12.50 an hour? What state are you in?missouri. before that, texas. before that, nebraska. it's not the location. I was looking for jobs in colorado, a recruiter was telling me chem's would be very happy to make 13.50. the first job I got out of college in nebraska, for $6.50, I met an old russian lady who told me I should be happy with that, the first job she got was for $4.50 an hour. I looked in the paper and was seeing jobs for MS in chem, for $10.00. that's why I moved to texas, lots more jobs but not better paying. so I moved here to St. L thinking I could work for monsanto or a few other pharmaceutical co's, but no!
-monsanto had a hiring freeze, and after I found out more about the co. I didn't want to work for them anyways
-solutia went belly up
-Steris, the weirdo interviewing me was holding his head up with his hand, and using it to wave bye-bye and flipping me off...! weirdo! old fart named george walker. I can't work for that. (they didn't hire me anyways) 9.50/hr
-KV pharmaceuticals, on the 2nd interview they all got some kind of mental problems, the boss guy I'd be working for was abusive and almost yelling already. the didn't hire me anyways. others I've talked to tell me u can lose that job as easy as u can get it, and it's a rotten place to work. 32K/yr
-ChemIR, great things to do there, interviewed once, no; interviewed again, no; then they called me up and want me to come in and give a 20 minute presentation on how I've solved problems analyzing pharmaceutical samples... no guarantee you're going to get a job though! (are u crazy?? takes work to do a presentation) I didn't have problems, so I didn't have anything to present. never heard from again. 13.50/hr
Manlift...guy found bound and shot on the tracks behind the place...sounds like you were working at the old Pillbury mill on Shreve Avenue off 70. What a crap hole.
They had both and it stinks in there, but I thought it closed a few years ago.
Place sounds like a bunch of monkeys in a www.careerbuilder.com commercial.
it was bought by ADM. you used to work there too??
Buschmaster seriously look into the oilfield for work. They work you hard, but most of the companys take care of their people. I've never heard the horror stories some folks talk about on here.
I could use the cash. what about losing fingers and stuff?
try sending a resume to monsanto in st. louis. or hospitals in lab dept
done that a few times. plus, seriously, I don't like how they're trying to take over everything with their GM crops stuff. I don't want to be a part of that.
Isn't there a some kind of law that says a company has a hire a Temp employee full time w/benefits after X amount of time? nope I've never heard of anyone being a Temp at the same place for 4 years.
The reason he only got $12.50 an hour is likely because the Temp Service got 1/3 of his actual wages. IMO if you stayed 4 years thru the BS you describe, as a Temp for only 2/3 your value wages w/no benefits, you're a glutton for punishment. they would not give me a raise. been asking them for the last 3 years to give me a raise. the yoyos they hired last year, right off the bat they're making $13.50 or better, and they s-u-c-k compared to me.
That sucks - especially at this time of year. You are better off without it. Your co-worker should be the biggest eye opener. Work there day in and day out waiting for retirement, then have a heart attack.
I sure would be better off without that job!
You spend most of your waking hours at your job, if you do not enjoy it, then you are spending most of your life in misery.
got that right
Good luck, I am sure you will bounce back!
my "qualifications" look worse now than before I started. unless I want to work as a lab tech in a food plant. (barf)
Don't know whether to say sorry or congrats!! Would seem that "Congrats" is the best from imfo offered!
yup...0 -
wanna change jobs? get a cdl license and i can get you a job driving dump trucks in the st. louis , st. charles county, jefferson co. area 0 -
Are you SURE there's no such law? If companies could hire long term Temps at cut rate wages w/no benies, why would any of them ever hire full time? As I recall they have to hire or fire @ 6 months.
We had driver @ work from a Temp service. Nice guy that came to work everyday and had worked for the service several years. But never at one location for very long.
And there was a reason. He just couldn't get "up to speed". After 6 months he was still performing as if he'd only been there for a few days. He wanted the full time job and we needed a full time driver. And we tried to give him every opportuity to work into the job. But after 6 months we HAD to either hire him or let him go. We let him go.0 -
dude sorry about the "poke me sign" i thought you would have changed coats by now[:)]
seriously i wish you well, take a break, and start hitting the pavement, i would hit earth city, and definitely hit AB believe it or not they have a very big lab, and the pay is unfreaken real, i would take the lowest job they offer because it is still one of the best places in the world to work for
and for those that question 12.50 hr for someone that has a bs in anything go to stl classifieds, you see it everyday , "bs required 4 yrs exp" 9 bucks a hr etc. it's disgusting0 -

Yeah, but I don't like saying that name. All Dumb Motherf%^@W%'s.
That place did meet your description. I heard a story about a "local youth" being found shot on the tracks. It is in a bad part of town. and it would suck to work there.
Those manlifts are "fun". They explain how DOnkey Kong was the inspiration. I hate the morons that ride them to the top. Kick out the limit switch and walk down the stairs only to have someone else go up there.
Fort Worth elevator for All the Devils Men had one of thise manifts. When I got there, they said don't shut it off amd you might want ti think twice about riding it in a thunderstorm. The brake doesn;t work
Another plant mgr. for Another Damn Mess, we called him "Dick-With Ears" or "DWE" was giving a tour to a bunch of Japs. They all jumped on the manlift going down, one right after another. The belt started to slip and they went down much faster than they should. Almost a controlled free-fall. They all jumped off on the ground floor. DWE played to off like it was normal. That company has earned the name Another Dead Man.0 -
Sorry for your loss. Losing a job sucks. Job inerviews are an ancient form of torture kind of like dating.
I say think bigger. Budweiser. They hire people with degrees in chemistry but do not recruit out of college. They prefer experience.
Good luck.0 -
Did someone hold a gun to your head and MAKE you take that job? You knew how much you would be making, right? Now for the big one. WHO held a gun on you and made you stay there? Be honest with your self. Also no company will let a real good employee go. Oh I know. Every body who loses their job blames it on someone else. Human nature. Some times though a person has to take a cold hard look at them selves. 0 -

Try URS Corp. (on the EG&G side). Lots of military and defense opportunities. URS will have opportunities as well, on the environmental side as well as civil engineering.
Good advice, FCD. They are a well respected and growing business. I have worked for them (EG&G/LSI) for 6+ years. Good pay and benefits, and they are almost EVERYWHERE!

Have you considered a career change? It sounds like you hated your last job and don't like the jobs you might get much better. What would you like to do?
A career change might sound like the waste of a perfectly good bachelors degree, but you don't want to be miserable for the rest of your life.0 -

Spoken like a true employer. I don't know what in this turd stinks more; the peanuts or the corn. People hold on to crappy jobs because they and those depending on them need to eat; if that isn't a gun to the head, nothing is. And THAT is human nature. And companies do let good people go all the time, either because of favoritism or upon the urging of some asshat with an axe to grind. Sure, bad people get fired, too. But the presumption of your post speaks volumes.0 -
Career changes suck. I entered a new career once. The same crony asshat's BM was referring to worked there. Took about 5 years before the last one was fired. The place is better now and those that have ambition and desire are encouraged rather than seen as a threat. Yes, it is possible to have to work with such monkeys.
Starting a new career is not easy. Breaking a glass ceiling is rather difficult.
Maybe the warden's neighbor's daughter needs a job.

Amen DWS.
It sucks to hold on to crappy job too long because you have that new house payment, a wife, children, or such. Plus downturns in the economy can make it more important to hang on to that crap job.
One time I mentioned to a manager that over half the employees are currently seeking new jobs. I suggested that maybe we're doing something wrong and perhaps we should do a self examination. He disagreed.0 -
They have been looking for some Environmental folks to work for the military on Guam...short handed!
They are also looking for people to write environmental impact studies of the increasing military build up....alot of qualified people they asked refused to do it and lie in the reports.
If you want money.....they'll pay to fly you here AND move all your stuff here. NO BS.
Go to USAjobs.gov and apply for USAF and NAVY civilian jobs on Guam.

Have you considered a career change? It sounds like you hated your last job and don't like the jobs you might get much better. What would you like to do?
A career change might sound like the waste of a perfectly good bachelors degree, but you don't want to be miserable for the rest of your life.couldn't agree with you more. I've been thinking I need to go back and get a degree in some kind of engineering, maybe nuclear or hydroelectric power. I was told by 2 different recruiters, years ago, if I were to become an engineer "your life would change" (unquote) no more problems finding a good job.0 -
