“32 pallets tomorrow”, they said “we have nowhere to put them”.

Has the fact that I single handedly spent 4 hours stripping 17 pallets on my own sunk in yet?

They've probably done that before.

More fool them I guess.

I didn't sign a blood contract. I am walking after Christmas, get a job in a place where manual labour is nonexistent.

As I said before, “friendly employers and coworkers don't exactly pay the bills”. They are nice people, but they haven't a clue what they are doing.
