(222 posts)it was one of the worst jobs I ever had-just fucking miserable back breaking and thankless. I worked beside illegal aliens there as a matter of fact. They were some of the hardest working fuckers I ever saw. Nobody could keep up with them. Nobody wanted to. but they kind of set the standard. At the sane time, I was juggling an imminent Iraq/Afghanistan deployment and full time college. Those were some of the worst days of my life but I digress. They closely monitored our movements with electronics in that warehouse. It wasn't a collar but they knew how fast we were moving at any given moment and they compared it to everyone else constantly. They had a rapid turnover too. When I interviewed for that job, the dude in front of me chose to wear a T-shirt with a giant middle finger flipping off anyone who happened to be sitting across from him. That was probably the appropriate interview attire in retrospect.
