Not trying to dox myself so I'm not gonna say where exactly I work but yeah it's at a grocery store. Wondering about quality of meat at places and stuff? I'm your guy.

wish i could hire you my market is down a person and i'm tired of doing 7 day weeks (got my first 2 days off in 20 days wooo)
I'm not at all surprised you have to do so many days in a row. My boss works 13 days in a row pretty frequently. He's not your traditional evil boss and would pay me more if he could.
yea i do long stretches when vacations happen since i work at such a small understaffed store. when covid hit and i took over i did 60 days which was insane. we are all fucked on pay since every tiny raise has to go through the district manager. i run a market and make $16.50. when i started cutting i made $9.50
Cool stuff I feel like sharing my pay could dox me a bit so I'm not gonna do that but it's not nearly enough. I'm a student though so this isn't gonna be my life forever hopefully. There's such an insane labor shortage right now right? If the invisible hand of the free market was real I'd be being paid like $20 an hour lol.
absolutely insane labor shortage. and yea we should be starting at $20. keep that mentality since the industry can really hollow you out. i stopped going to college (was close to finishing) to take the FT market work cause i needed $ more than education at the time. keep grinding through school comrade! o7 it's not worth the wear it puts on your body
My assistant manager's (who is a libertarian chud btw) back is so fucked up from the job. Trust me I know he always says he has more metal in his back than bone. Lifting all that meat off of the hooks isn't great for your body.
that's why i'm glad we transitioned away from hardcore cutting. prepack except for boneless loins now baby! sucks though since my skills are limited to just giving advice to customers now but it saved my back except my hands are falling apart from stocking and wrapping with the insane volume we have now.
I think my boss feels very similar to you. We do more than just boneless loins for pork in my store but this era will be over soon. It's sad to see a profession die but yeah with the volume we put out it would never work.
