So i start at 3M on monday 18th
 

.. Apparently my Ged test results changed the game for me. I did pass in a very high percentile for md test takers, figured it would change their interests in me a bit. They will be starting me at a better position making considerably more than they had originally offered me. Im stoked. This has been the longest hiring process ive ever gone through to get a job. Reason being they were having a hard time validating weather my GED existed or not. So it took a whole nother 2 weeks just to send out for my transcripts and recieve them through the mail. Smh. Crazy. But this is great news Gs. Just thought id share the update on progress.

repped

Thank you sir.

good shit

im amazed they actually looked into it. i also scored in the highest percentile of the GED and now i'm thinking they just tell everyone that lol.

but word i don't know where my certificate is or where it exists in a database

but yo i use numerous 3m products on a daily basis. mainly tapes and SUCH

Ya man. This supposed to bethe largest 3m tape manufacturer in north america. This particular plant. Pretty excited tbh

My transcripts reflect my scores and percentiles. I sucked at social studies. But still passed above the acceptable mark. Math science and language arts. (Reading/comprehension) im all above average percentiles. Writing i fell in the average zone but close to being above.

They got me working some mean hrs yo.
2 12 hr days on. 2 days off. 2 12 hr days on. 3 days off. Repeat.
So ill be cycling a 48 hr week and a 36 hr week. Damn. Got me working paramedics hra

2-3-2 flex schedule. Typical hours for a Manufacturing facility.

is it union or non union? Most are union and utilize the teamsters union.

Good shit, bro and good luck.

Man.. 8 hour shifts can be rough some days. 12 hours would be torture. But them 3 days off in a row would be dope.

hopefully whatever you end up doing you can utilize headphones

thats my lifeline on sanity. i have the same mudblood in my veins as most dirt people, the only way i keep my job is through 8 hours a day of podcasts and SUCH.

im at 48 hours so far this week, still got tomorrow and friday. my checks gonna be glorious. the detailer at my shop quit so we've had 2 new dudes and they're just slowing everything down learning, so i've been taking advantage and snagging extra hours keeping the shop moving

but word i recommend getting comfy with your day to day duties and putting in earbuds as much as possible to break up the monotony

when you got a 4 hour podcast on deck thats interesting you'll be caught up in it and realize when its over so is a huge chunk of your day

although it works both ways. a bunch of 1 hour podcasts. you get through one like wordd nice only to realize only an hours gone by lol

Man i wish i could do podcasts u got any links point me in he right direction son.....

I got umm two sessions i do per week as well... pushing obviously... running low on ideas though...but still got shit to accomplish i guess it has been done to the fullest really already.... it just a matter of updatig.....


But yeah uh oh whats the deal with podcasts help me out bro please i would love to broadcast some shit....

Lol. Wrong thread dude

Sorry what???

Congrats bruh!

Thanks fammo!

Most manufactures ban the use of cell phones and head phones due to audibles on the machines. Before leaving OSHA - I remember being involved in the process of generating a no cell phone use in the work place regulation because it's a distraction for those operating industrial machinery. You have no idea how many incidents were reported on a annual basis because of cell phones. I mean severe incidents such as near fatalities, limbs severed/amputations, etc...

word i can believe it. my boy smashed his hand at some zinc factory? they made some weird parts out of zinc or some shit, press a button, it opens a machine, you place a block of it on the thing, press a button and the doors close and smash the thing into the shape or whatever.

but word he closed the doors on his hand. not phone/earbud related, he was just a dummy. but he lost his pointer finger and most of his right hand is a curled up mess. just smashed his shit FLAT. bone disintegration and shit.

i figure if its a job with ear protection you should be able to have headphones though. i get it can be distracting, but word.

Good shit, Geno!

I'm proud of u sir

Thanks homie!

I hope you die on your first day.

Thanks bro!

Lmao

Really though, congrats.

Awesome man!

Yea, head phones aren't ear buds designed for hearing protection. Please review OSHA's hearing conservation regulation LOL.

So my job title got switched up again lmao.
They got me running machines for them now. Forklifts and such. Making the same money for now i think ??? Not sure. Ill have to verify that 2maro. But i could be gettinf more now since im goinf through all these certifications and becoming a certififes 3m operator now. Pretty dope. Guess they dug a little deeper into my history and see that im a beast on the machinery. Bada boom

Gettin 42 hrs in thia week
Worked a 6 monday
Then a 4 tuesday and had to leave early cause my trainers werent acheduled to work
Still gotnin some safety training though. Did an 8 today. Working 12s tomoro and fri. Then off this weekend. Then next week i should be going into my 2 12s on 2 off s 12s on 3 off routine... Which should technically mean ill be off sat sun mon and tues and pick up with the schedule on weds thurs. Off fri and sat and work sunday mon. Which sunday will be double time ...phewww. Big bucks shawty. Also. They pay me for my 5 breaks throughout my 12 hr day and i get OT after 40 every week instead of after 80 since its biweekly pay. IM GONNA BE KILLING SHIT MAINE

I been on a different type a' tyme. Unghh

Lol what the fuck, who cares

yeah i mean. we all have jobs as far as i know so we are all working 40+ hours.

oh except @NYCSPITZ he sells magazines at the bodega while trading penny stocks on his nokia and clears 7 figures a year easily only working about 14 hours a week. but he's a special breed of entrepreneur.

definitely not knocking you for stepping your human game up though, but the post above me is kind of where i'm at now with this thread personally.

side note: i had a buddy who drove forklifts for budweiser making really good money, so get those certs and run with them. they can be valuable for sure.

Excavators and Forklifts are 2 different animals. But simple to Operate.

Is it a union facility? Most unions begin OT after 8HOURS or ouside of the 8 hour scheduled shift. Considering your shifts are 12's, so maybe after the 12 hours or outside of the 12 hour scheduled shift? Or only accumulated after 40 hours.

If only accumulated after 40, that's still pretty cool but honestly kind of sucks LOL..

lmfaoooooooooooooooooo

Nah it aint union

Its a little late for that

Congrats, man.

The transience associated with the money is nonsense. Credit - it's bookkeeping at best. Go to work, tolerating what you do, to make money? I'm either scoring 6 figures this fall and going back to school or getting demolished by taking these huge risks and gonna bartend. Long islands are the speed rack plus sour mix and coke...margaritas are tequila triple sec lime juice and sour...not that hard is it? Who cares? It's the tao brotha...either way I'm straight. Drive those forklifts, construction and reds, who gives a shyt. We all EQUAL as human beings, just some people butt heads...but that's natural right? Shit would be BORING otherwise...imo

I was wondering what you'd be doing in this thread then I saw the deadman post. Quality post from you two.
