It’s difficult to imagine a worse job than inventory. If you want to make enough money to sleeze by in a manner slightly above abject poverty, you must be available to work 24-7. You get up at o’dark thirty in the morning and drive a few hundred miles to crawl around on the floor of a grocery store or grub through the nuts and bolts at the home improvement emporium. The first and last of your travel hours are unpaid. If you’re lucky and have a good crew manager, you might get a ten minute break after two and a half hours. If your crew manager is in a bad mood, you might have to wait three and a half hours. No matter how long your day, you never get a lunch. My company starts you out at a quarter above minimum wage. In order to get a 15cent raise (wow!), you must count about 15 thousand dollars worth of merchandise in an hour on average. New people count about 2 thousand dollars in an hour. Of course you have to get good stuff to count to make the benchmark. Of course all the good stuff to count goes to all the people who’ve been doing it for years and years.
So, who’s job sucks more, mine or yours?
