Antiwork

I just had to show the new “temp to hire” my company brought in how to use a faucet. Not a crazy faucet as in part of a job, a faucet as in he asked me how to make water come out of the sink like he’s never seen indoor plumbing before…

The last temp they brought in was covered in prison tattoos and was addicted to meth…thats not a guess either. He ended up finally getting fired after he had an “episode” in the bathroom where the ambulance needed to be called. Now we have this new guy who stared at the sink for 10 whole minutes before he poked me and grunted, literally grunted. Before you ask, yes he speaks English. This man is also in his 50's. I asked him what he needed and he just said “water.” To be honest I was so confused at first, but he honestly had no idea how it worked. It was just a basic faucet, nothing fancy. Now maybe you're reading this and think I'm being harsh, but I work in a factory. In this factory we have fire and chemicals and dangerous machines. I have to take these meth addicts now…

Why not go to management you ask? I'm in antiwork for a reason my friends. Here's what they say.

“Make it work.”

Or my favorite “Try harder.” Fn love that one.

I give Faucet Freddy a week at best. I can only imagine what kinda crazy shit will come in next. Last week we literally had a guy light up a blunt in the cafeteria without a care in the world.

I gotta start writing this shit down…this would make a great TV show.
