Started job, took me back to a loading dock, had to load 110 lb boxes OVER MY HEAD, other men were nasty and shitty cause I could only do 7 boxes per minute...they could do 9-10.
"Good pay" was minimum wage.
After 2 hours 20 minutes...told them they were fucking crazy and their employer was a slave driver.
It was Nike=== There's more I found out but I'll let it slide...
By the way...found sales "stuff" in trailer...each shoe cost about 7 bucks. (what a shitty company)
Funny...just thinking about it pisses me off.
