New guy in the costumer service team at work. I think I remember seeing him being interviewed. I wonder if he’ll last longer than the other woman that just left one morning. He’s young so I think he’ll take to it pretty well.
He’s also really tall, like really tall. I wonder if I should tell him that? I wonder if anyone’s pointed it out to him before?

An old job loading containers we’d actively try to break the new guys because the faster we worked the more down time we got. Some guy were fit for it, some guys just weren’t. Best I ever got was a guy who left at morning tea after doing 1/3 of the days work. I got paid double that day to do both our jobs.

I had a similar job one time. I had an occasional job putting bladders into shipping containers to turn them into giant goon bags for bulk liquid transport.
