Brainless, repetitive work, you basically babysit a machine operating. For me the worst part was the people and the management, it is so many young kids who it seems like it’s their first job ever so they don’t know how to behave in a professional setting. I was 25 and I felt ancient in the lab. It doesn’t matter how much experience you have, you will be doing something that requires so knowledge of biology. A BS shouldn’t be required for the covid lab.
Most importantly, they promoted the most toxic person in the whole lab to manager, the only person in the room without a BS only got promoted through toxic nature, picking out person after person to turn the group against and then soon get them fired. It was like an angry mob every week turning on one person at a time!!
One coworker went around to every girl standing within inches of us, so far within our personal space and putting his arms around us, telling us that he’s looking for a woman to dominate him. Management thought this was funny when I spoke up about it, even though it was plainly obvious and gross.
I’ve barely scratched the surface, I really feel bad for the few friends I still have working there.
