Today I worked in a three person team with two brake presses & a little special tab former.This cell is designated for a one customer's special parts.
I know it was my first day on this & I have some PMS going on but I was ready to cry by the end of the day.
I know our company has rate high so they can make money but holy hell!
How hard do you push your employees? Do manufacturers way the high rate against workers bodies just plain giving out?
I know in a week of doing that particular job my body would be more used to it.
I was so tired that I became a safety hazard to myself. I sliced through a glove early in the day to slice my finger, then I almost cut my neck flipping a part & my hand slipping, Then I flipped a part hitting the machine, the part bounced back & I caught it with my midsection. Lucky for me I only have red marks & not cuts. (I've always had clumsy bad luck....I've always said if there is a way to get hurt...I'll find it:()
I've been having problems with my hands falling asleep since I've been back in production. This job has my wrists/fingers/joints throbbing with pain. Motrin is my friend!
Why is it that these hardest busting ass jobs pay the least amount of money?
