      I worked at bob evans sausage packing place… horrible, so fast pace nonstop for 8 hours. Over and over and over hoping a machine breaks to just get a second. If one little thing goes wrong like a box doesn’t open right for like 10 seconds you have done created a pile that will ether take forever to clear or you have to work so fast that it makes you want to quit on the spot

    When I was about 20 at worked at a sour punch straws factory on a conveyor belt. I had talked myself into the job saying, “it’s time to grow up and take life serious, I need this $14 an hour.” I made it halfway through night 2 before I went insane and started maniacally, laughing to myself, because I knew for 100% certainty that I would never step foot in that factory again after I left that shift. It’s a different type of person that can stand in the same spot, doing the same motion, with no distraction to keep their mind occupied for 40 hours a week. In my opinion that’s the definition of a hell job. I’ve done roofing in July, shoveled snow in the Great Lakes region, done all kinds of horrible manual labor, but nothing was as torturous as that conveyer belt job. Never again

      But I'll never go back to those lines either, awful work. It really puts a perspective on why you experience so much drama when you work those places. They're losing their minds standing at those conveyor belts all that time. I will never go back, I have a son to watch grow up and a chair to sit in and a computer that gets me paid. They can keep their silly paper factory sludge work.
