Over Marginalized Workforce

Pros

You will almost always have work.

Cons

District Managers are overworked and under supported. To survive, many district managers resort to manipulation, deceit, or just withdraw and give up. The site I supervise has seen three district managers this year, not including several temporary district managers. Several months this year we simply had no district manager. Since the district managers are sparse, or nonexistent, supervisors like myself often have no support and staff vacancies go unfilled for months. I lost all my vacation days off last year because there was no relief to take one. There was/is no thanks, no acknowledgement of ones sacrifice to work themselves to death to keep a contract. All this while working for far below a living wage. Upper management reduces the cost of turnover to only the obvious surface costs while failing to consider costs of tacit knowledge loss, client perception of turnover, employee reaction to turnover and etc. COVID only exasperated issues already present. We were already marginalized beyond the max. COVID just pushed it over the edge. Moral is non existent. The only reason we survive is because we guards have each other and we have a great client.

Pros

A very basic paycheck. You won't starve, but you won't ever get ahead.

Cons

Dull work. You can feel your soul draining from your body. Each moment that passes, you'll wish that you were born with a genius IQ, so that you could have possibly avoided this lifestyle. ADVICE: Go get a Class A CDL with the following endorsements: Doubles/triples, tanker, and HAZMAT, then immediately after graduating trucking school, pick up a TWIC card, then drive for any random trucking company that will let you drive a double trailer for a year, then QUIT, and go sign up at a fuel transport trucking company that'll pay you $90K+ per year. GO! NOW!
