when working in a factory

I started working in a factory on 9th June 2011.  It was an easy job.  Put-away items - not to difficult.

Day 1 learn how to use a scanner to scan the barcode of an article and put it away in a location with designated barcode.

Day 2 put into practice what you have leaned in day 1. Done.

Day 3 Make sure you can put day 1 and day 2 together.

Day 4 Crack on.

There will be no day 5 as it would transpire that the last four days were a training exercise for the security guards and a new team leader - you are a guinea pig!

What did you learn though?

1. when at work do not talk about work its a taboo subject.
2. do as you are told do not speak as everything you say is wrong.
3. do not try to talk to employees or employers in the break as you are after all there to follow instructions.
4. scanners will seem to take awhile to accept a barcode so that you become frustrated and do not meet key performance indicators and are thus wrong.

NO JOB IS STRAIGHT FORWARD

if it is you wont be there for long as there is nothing for you to do!
