I worked at a place that had consistent mandatory overtime. I never saw the outside of the factory except to just sleep and then go back again. There was no upward advancement whatsoever. And it was completely unsafe where people would eventually snap and sometimes have to be dragged out by the private police that they hired. Also, when you enter the place, you go through turn styles. Almost as if you're in prison or something. The people that normally want to bring manufacturing back to America are the people that have like a 1950s view of the world. But working in a factory in modern America, it's not really appealing because of how you're treated and you actually get a really low pay. You have no protection under the law. Especially if you're living in a right to work state. And everyone around you is toxic. Thinking that one day their ship will come in, they just need to step on your neck. And I didn't puss out and I saw people come and go and I even worked my way up to different positions. I didn't want to be like the guy getting dragged out and my health was declining so I quit that shitty job and I'll never do it again.
