Their bragging about not hiring workers and using temps.What a croc.That has got to stop hire more workers and quit cheating them by using temps A law should be passed some the temps working there will be secure in their jobs and could get BETTER TRAINING.Temp workers are like illegal workers don't get paid good and bad or nonexistent benefits.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to work for a company like BMW as a "temporary" employee. I use the word temporary in quotes because there is nothing "temporary" about my job. I can work at the company for as long as any other associate, as long as I show up everyday on time and work twice as hard as a BMW employee and don't complain about my pay (about half the pay of those who get a bonus and benefits). But I can't complain too much. I get to work at BMW! Woo Hoo!

Ode to Spell Checker


I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks eye can knot sea.

Eye ran this poem threw it.
You sure reel glad two no
Its vary polished in it's weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a bless sing.
It freeze yew lodes of thymes.
It helps me right awl stiles two reeds,
And aides me when aye rime.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud.
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.

And now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know faults with in my cite.
Of none eye am a wear.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed to be a joule.
The checker poured oar every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

That's why aye brake in two averse
By righting wants two pleas.
Sow now ewe sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear for pea seas!

B shift is horrible. It not only affects the hours you are at work but basically or actually you have no life whatsoever. You eat, sleep, and go to work. Days off? You just recover from the work and don't feel like doing anything else.

[Eli]

Yeah, B shift would definitely suck, but A shift is kind of the same deal. Get up at 5am, go work till 6:10pm, get home by 7, eat, sleep, do it again. You never see the sun, except through the cafeteria windows. You really get about three hours to yourself unless you want to sacrifice sleep.
