    Dude in 2013 I was working 60 hours a week in a factory that was >100 degrees laughing at the new guys who threw up and passed out because I didn’t realize how fucked up it all was

    The black forklift boss and the white production line boss had beef so the management arranged a time after hours for them to fight

    We got to watch these eggheads from Italy build the new robot production line that eventually took our jobs. Like, they were building right next to us and we got to keep our jobs so long as we were faster and broke less product. They called us the John Henry team

    Eveey day I went home and got blackout drunk. At home, because I couldn’t afford to go to a bar.

    It was not the best time of my life. Or anyone’s that I knew, for that matter.
