last summer i worked in a factory and it was pretty bad, terrible company that just treated its workers like shit. Most of the workers were recent immigrants that are not the best at the language so they were too scared to quit and the company just stepped on everyone. the shop was about 40 degrees celcius because they refused to cool the shop. Got heat stroke a few times and one guy went to the hospital. It took me about 2.5 hrs to get there and back via transit (i got a car 3/4 of the way through which cut it down to 45min) and started at 7 so id have to get on the subway at 4:30ish so i had to wake up around 3:30. once i got there I spent 9 hours a day wiping down cabinets with lacquer thinner and got yelled at every 20 min for damage to the cabinets even tho I didnt do anything to them. At the end of the day sometimes the plastic gloves they gave me would be melted through from the thinner and sometimes my hands were all burned. ontop of that the thinner would make me high af some days which did get me through the day faster lol. Got paid minimum wage (14$/hr CND) but for the work i was doing understandable. It was a good time 10/10. Worst part is there were some people doing the same thing as me but in their 30s and 40s with kids and a family to support, disgusting.
