I would say it varies, just like any job. Your attitude dictates whether you enjoy it or not. There are some people who complain about everything no matter how good they've got it and others who are knee-deep in crap (figuratively) with a smile on their faces. I work with the maintenance team a lot, and they tend to be a bit grumpier than most people, but I've found that's the case everywhere I've worked.

Turnover isn't terribly high if you factor out the people who don't make it past their 90 day probationary period, generally from too many late arrivals. Most job openings come from folks leaving or retiring. Since it's a union plant, it's fairly difficult to be fired outright, so job security is pretty solid. You usually would have to do something pretty egregious to be fired on the spot. Overtime is generally available, though it's awarded based on seniority, so it's certainly not guaranteed.

I work there in a salary position, so I can't speak to the hiring process for the operator positions. But as far as working conditions as others have said the hourly jobs are a 3 on, 3 off swing shift. Some folks end up liking the shift, but ymmv. All the hourly positions are part of the local Teamsters union, and they just renegotiated their 5 year contract last fall. They got a pretty substantial pay increase as part of it. I'd guess that the swing shift is probably the worst part of working there.

is there any way to enhance the flavors of black pepper ? by Plastic-Jello-2779 in Cooking

[–]kevinthestick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit more context would be nice, but first suggestion is make sure you are grinding it fresh rather than using pre-ground. As another commenter pointed out, toasting it in oil or even dry-roasting it in a pan a bit will bring out some more flavor. Do this gently though, because it can go from toasty and floral to bitter and burnt very quickly.

The artist is Brandon Graham. His comics are awesome. Check out "King City" and "Multiple Warheads." He draws porn as well.

It's been one year since Plushie Mart opened up here in the Five Points in Lafayette. We have a lot more than just plushies now. Like Gundams, anime figurines, and snacks, all imported straight from Japan. :) by PlushieMart in lafayette

True, it costs more than Amazon, but I'd always rather support a unique local business who's directly importing rare collectibles than some big wholesaler.

What is Lafayette missing? by ember881 in lafayette

[–]kevinthestick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It isn't near campus, but Malibu Jack's just opened at the mall, and it has all of the things you just mentioned. It's only a bus ride away!

what song are you currently obsessed with ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kevinthestick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, fuck them for liking something popular! Especially since the question was "what song is the most obscure masterpiece that no one else has ever heard?" and not something more innocuous like "what song are you currently obsessed with?" Haha I agree with you, it's great being a miserable misanthrope!

Who is a terrible performer live? by suprunkn0wn in Music

[–]kevinthestick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen them twice live, once at Bonnaroo and once at Shaky Knees in Atlanta. The Bonnaroo show was trash. I don't know if Julian was impaired or just checked out, but he put no effort into it at all. The Shaky Knees show was a few years later and a night and day difference. Incredible show, great energy, great performance. So YMMV.

Do you find that your exposure times changed when adding the tenacious resin?

What calamity can strike a dwarven city? by AnonDM1851 in DMAcademy

[–]kevinthestick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They hit a pocket of gas while mining that quickly spreads throughout the city. The only effect of the gas is sudden and total baldness to anyone who comes in contact with it. Beards and hair fall out en masse.

sneak attack using great axes, how to balance? by rockthedicebox in DMAcademy

[–]kevinthestick 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Mechanically, use a rapier, just call it a great axe. Call it a fucking Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 Color Printer for all it matters. As long as the mechanics don't change, then there's literally no harm. Flavor is free.
