The General Manager at my job lives in my area and every workday he picks me up. He also takes me home after work.

The only thing about riding with him is..he doesn't want anyone talking while he's driving. At first I thought it was because of the color of my skin, he's White. But no, it isn't that. It's quite a few things I've found out on my third day working there.

First, it's the people who he has to manage. They are drug addicts, Meth. They are also either on Parole or Probation. I spoke of this before. They don't listen to him, follow his directions, they do what they want to do. Also, they come in when they want to come in to work and he doesn't question them at all. In the middle of a shift, they will go on a break and leave...come in thr next day like nothing even happened. And again he doesn't question them. Yesterday...that straw broke THIS Camel's back.

I was moving 150 empty boxes of bread and he approached me. Told me that he wants me on the repacking table and to move racks to the receiving area. I don't mind doing this function but there are others at my station who come in late to work and that's the only position that's left open because the product is flowing on the line and the manager usually does it because we are busy keeping things flowing. Well this one guy who the day before...well, him and I had no issues what's so ever until...

I'm at the repacking table and the machine that spits out the product wasn't putting the product into the bags. This requires repacking by hand. It's easy once you get the flow of it. Another guy at the front of the line who didn't come to work the day before comes down the line and tells me to switch out with the guy who I was working with the day before. I opened a new pack of cigarettes the day before and he asked for 11 cigarettes, one at a time which I had no problem giving him. Well this guy went apeshit on me. Cursed me out, throwing the product at me.

I'm not the one to just stand there and turn the other cheek, and I'm not a violent person either but.. But when you as a person loose your shit because you want to go and smoke some weed and it's not even break time..and I say, I was told to do this function by the manager... You as a person has a very nasty drug problem...and it's only weed that sets you off..well, I don't know what to tell you.

The owners, two if them were and always are on-site. They came in and wanted to know what happened. Without me telling him what I KNOW what the issue was and is... He read in between the lines and was worried that I was going to quit. He called the guy in and he flat faced lied. I listenes and didn't say a word until he was finished. I then said that if you can't be a man and say what really happened, I can't work around you anymore. The owner told me he could out me in another department and I told him no and that this guy shouldn't have to move either. All he has to do is tell the truth, which he didn't..so I clocked out and left.

They will and can always find another person to take my place. But people come there and either just walk out after a half and hour...don't show up the next day or interview and see the work and do show up for their first day.

I was told to not worry about anyone else me what they are doing just do your job. But when evening gets the same amount of pay, with no increases because you are working harder than any of them...well, that incident was my clue fir leaving. Plus..

I told the so called Line Manager a woman that same day that I wouldn't be coming in on Thursday, I had an interview to go to. She asked was it going to be the whole day and I said yes. She told me to bring in a note. Like I said, people just don't come in and I never seen her even approach and ask them what happened to them not showing up.

So, the job hunt is on and I've already started. Have 2 interviews lined up already.
