Forgot to ask freeze: What is 3PL?

 

A third party logistics. Instead of the company shipping out their own product, they hire a company to do that for them.

 

Later pm! take it easy, talk to ya later man!

Ahh you got a long weekend, half ya luck man! i love them! yeah i try anything to avoid working the weekend! i try and do my overtime through the week so i can have the weekend off as 2 days off is short as it is! but still like you know isn't enough for the boss man!

 

This is the first long weekend I have had in awhile. The last time I had a holiday we ended up working long hours on a Saturday so it was just like having the weekend off since it ended up being just two days. Doing the overtime during the week doesn't work for me. I already worked 50.5 hours this week and my manager still wanted me to go in on Saturday.

 

Ahh man, i know how you feel! i try an work 50 hours a week through the week, but my boss wants me to come in on saturday and sunday aswell some times, but fuck that lol! you need time to relax! like i said 2 days goes quick as it is! hope you enjoy your days off man!

 

Fuck i need time to just chill out on phun i havnt had that in awhile

 

I had to do a lot emails going back and forth to finally get the day off so I am definitely going to enjoy the days off.

What do you do?

 

You're telling me. I missed about 4 months at the beginning of the year from phun because at that time I was working 60+ hours.

 

Oh ok so do you work on a comp most of the time or whats the go?

I'm a Fitter & Machinist (metal worker is a blunt description) i guess, i work for a company that preduces big reduction style gearboxes for mines and such, hands on stuff, not my dream job, but it pays the bills

 

Haha yeah i think i remember that lol! yeah it's not good man, you get money but it doesn't make up for time does it!

 

No, most of the time I am supervising the material handler on the floor but since my manager lives in Sacramento, he took off for the long weekend since Thursday and then sent an email on Friday for the Saturday schedule . That is the reason the emails were going back and forth.

Oh ok, do you enjoy it? You changed it on me

 

No, it does make up for the time because it was just sleep and work. Also, uncle Sam takes a lot away for taxes especially when you work overtime so you don't get that much money either

 

Oh ok cool, i can picture you reading the first email saying you have to work saturday

Yeah i got in quick lol yeah i like my job, im not a bright man by any standards, but it is very hard some times, but interesting aswell! and there is room to travel within the country and overseas so yeah it's good! but yeah like i said it isn't my dream job but yeah what is i guess? lol

 

Ahh yeah, well when you put it that way i guess it does! we pay alot in taxes here too, it sux

 

oh yeah, I wasn't happy especially because the night before we were going over the game plan for the weekend and at no point did he tell me that I was going to have to work. Also, I was already pissed off because you go through an agency before you get hired and today I got the email from the HR of my new pay rate and I was not happy so the next email was for working on Saturday and that really pissed me off

What places overseas do you get to travel to?

Yes it does, then the place where you work makes it seem like you are making a lot of money but in reality you are not

 

LOL, i can imagine man!

well i personally havn't been overseas yet, but a few guys have been to places like china, thailand, phillipines,russia,fuji umm a few other places i can't think of but i have been to western Australia so far which is an eyeopener for sure, it's funny getting on a plane to go to work for your company lol, it must be normal for some but for me it is wierd! lol

And yeah i hear what ya saying, the company i work for often bring us into a meeting to say hey you guys are doing great we made so many million this year bla bla bla, but what do we get out of it..a crack of the whip!!

 

So the people that get to go overseas, are they sales team or who gets to go overseas? Western Australia an eyeopener, eh...where are the pics? It is weird but my manager takes a flight to Sacramento every weekend. Takes off on Friday and comes back on Monday morning.

I guess all companies are the same.
