Nobody is allowed to love their jobs!
​
Nobody is allowed to love their job at my construction warehouse job, and when we all go on our 1 hour break, you can sense the hatred from everyone towards this job. You can see all mistakes these guys made in life to end up working in a construction ware house. Some got a girl pregnant when they were young and they had no choice but to start working. Some lived a life of crime and went to jail and when they came out of jail, they had this job that was available to them. Others were just poor and had no choice but to work here.
I come from a poor family and this job was the only one that would accept me. I couldn't go to university and so after high school, I am here working with these lot. It's a depressing place and most conversation are about how they hate their jobs, their wives and kids and just in general their own lives. There are two break rooms one for those who hate their jobs and the other are for those who love their jobs. The rule in the air is that nobody gets to love their job.
There is only 1 guy who goes into the other break room because he loves his job. The 2 break rooms are next door neighbours and so we can hear this guy in the other break room, singing how much he loves his job. Then a gang of men who hated their jobs stormed into that other break room and started to beat up the guy. They wanted to make the guy hate his job, but no matter how much they beat him up, the guy kept singing how much he loved his job. Then when break time was over the guy who loves his job was all bruised but he still had a smile on his face.
Then the guy who loved his job started to ask other employees whether he could impregnate their wives or their adult daughters, so that a baby could trap him to this horrid job. A group of guys beat him up bad and broke some of his bones, the guy came back 2 weeks later singing how much he loved his job. The hospital struggled to contain him as all he talked about was his job.
HR then joined that this guys love for the job was causing problems. Then things became worse when the company hired more new people exactly like thus guy, and now there was a gang of people who loved working here. The managers locked these people into the break room which was for people who loved their jobs. There is no food in thus break room and water had been cut off, but 3 years later we still hear singing from this break room about they love their jobs.
3 years without food or water!
We just leave them be.
