NWI INGO General Post Part 20 - Raccons 4 Life!

[actaeon277]

Some Unions have a clause that if you have to work more than 4 hours over - the company has to buy you a Meal

Well, we don't have that.
We used to get $3 meal allowance on your next paycheck, if the OT was unscheduled.
But they used to get out of it so often, I don't know if they have it anymore.

 

[tv1217]

We still have that but it's like $7 now, whoopdie doo

I don't think I've seen it in over 15 years.

 

[tv1217]

Might have to ask for it. We have one foreman who will code it every time but the other 3 we have to ask

I'm not a big fan of talking to foremen. Nothing good ever comes from it.
When I walk to a foreman, coworkers will run over and steer me away.

 

[tv1217]

Yeah we also have to request printouts of our hours worked every two weeks to make sure we're actually getting paid the hours worked because they don't always remember to put them in and then we end up shorted until the following payday.

they just put our sheets with our work orders

Oh halfway competent management, well la-di-da, Mr. French Man

Nah, his bosses just found a way to get their employees to do their work and be happy about it.

 

[tv1217]

Something tells me you've never seen an Actaeon post talking about work.

 

[marvin02]

When I started in the mill we got meal tickets good at the canteen. $1.10, yeah!

The canteen was too far for some guys to walk to so one of the other mechanics would pay a dollar for meal tickets. 10% profit, not bad in the 70s.

 

[marvin02]

Well I bet Act is their measuring stick.

Boss1: Did the new rule make Act happy?
Boss2: No
Boss1: It's working then!

We have a canteen down by Tin. About a third of a mile walk and we don't have that kinda time

 

[Bill2905]

How is the food at a steel mill canteen?

 

[actaeon277]

Something tells me you've never seen an Actaeon post talking about work.

And yours are always singing praise of your love of the job.

There's a reason everyone kept food stuffs for OT or when you forgot a lunch. The canteen was pretty much just like eating gas station microwave food.

NO ACTIVE SHOOTER OR GUN FOUND AT LAKE CENTRAL DESPITE FALSE REPORTS CAUSING PANIC TO PARENTS​

I'm hoping some good can come out of this. It sounded like the response by police and everyone else involved was outstanding, but maybe this real life drill will add some insight on where improvements or even slights changes could be done to make it even better

The guy I deal with for parts everyday for the last 17 years was definitely a little shook. He has 2 kids at Lake Central

 

[Ballstater98]

I believe I'm turning the corner. I can lightly taste some foods and I peeled an orange for the kid and could smell it. Tomorrow will likely be a sampling around the house day. Fingers crossed.
