I work for a large pharmaceutical distribution center and today they slapped everyone in the face with their BS. As a person that fills special orders, “Case Picker”, we have the most physically demanding job in the warehouse but thankfully only work 4 days, 10 hours a day. Over the last few weeks our case pickers have dwindled from 10+ to only 5. Today is our last day of the work week and they tell us to cancel whatever we are doing Friday and work mandatory OT because we have too much to do. IMMEDIATELY AFTER he tells us the company is “trimming fat” and has to fire 22 people in the next 2 weeks. So we have too much work and they decide to randomly fire 22 more people.
Case pickers are already the least appreciated and they want us to stay motivated and pick 1,000 boxes a night? Nah, I think ill stay in the bathroom posting to Reddit instead.
