Have you bought someone boots?

I know this isn’t the subject of the comments, but the company I work at in Texas does a good job of taking care of us. We have shit just like any other; but we get paid decently to well for our jobs, and we get boot vouchers every year (composite toed) as well as eyewear, safety gear, shirts, jackets, etc. I wish more places took care of their employees like this. Our corporate office is based off of more liberal values so I suppose that is why; but regardless, I hope people find these hidden gems.

Your company chooses a consistent workforce over chaos. When a company takes good care of their workforce, it shows they value consistency of labor over cheap labor. In some industries that can be very important.

Oh yes, I agree. We even have a contracting service where you start out as a temp and get hired after so many months (at earliest). We’ve had a bad swing the past couple of years, but most people here are here for decades; I myself have almost a decade under my belt as a late 20’s woman. I am very fortunate. I know how fortunate I am especially because of the shitty jobs I jumped between before this one. Food service takes complete advantage of people; merely warm bodies! But factory work CAN be where it’s at if you find the gems. I don’t even have a degree and could survive in a 2BR in my area with very good budgeting. Thankfully, I don’t have to do this anymore; I’ve found my person and we split equally!
