What a pisser.

I just need to spout off a little bit here.. there's a guy I work with who has been with this company for over thirty years. He's kind of crotchety, he works by himself for the most part in the spice room, weighing up seasoning for the hot dogs. What a job, right? Some days he gets help, some days he doesn't. We run on average 80 batches of hot dogs a day, and there are several different seasoning profiles, depending on the type of dog that's needed. Most of the often-used types of seasoning come in bulk bags, 50-80 lbs. each. This guy is pushing 60, and he does this every day, lugging the bags around, scooping different things into bags, sometimes 30-40 pounds on their own. I just walked past his room, and he's still here. I went to talk to his manager about half an hour ago, and he had already gone home. So this guy is in there plugging away at his job, and his manager AND supervisor have already called it a day. I asked him before I left if he needed any help, and apparently nobody else bothered to do so before they left.

I can't believe it. If this is how the people around here reward 30 years of service, I don't think I want to make my career here after all. What a crock.
