…or they might be from New Jersey
Thanks to all of you for the congratulations on my employment.
About the job
Ok, so my new job finds me working for a courier company called Tricor. Now, to start with, I’ll be just driving a courier route going from West Sacramento to Natomas to Dixon, then back to Natomas and finally back to West Sacramento. The route has 3 customer stops and I don’t have to load or unload anything heavy. But it only takes about 4 hours to do the run, from 1 PM until 5 PM.
Now, in a week or so, maybe less, there will be an opening in the warehouse for a package sorter (there are LOTS of longer & busier routes than mine) and at that time, I’ll get 4 more hours a day sorting. Full time work at last.
Mind you, this job only starts at minimum wage ($8.00 hr), but that beats the shit outta unemployment. And, should a better paying job come along, I’ll grab it.
And now you know what the deal is.
Note from 2020: The job and the company sucked ass, but I worked there 9.5 years. I also got paid for a great many hours I did not actually work, so I got a bit of a deal. How much of a deal? About $5,500.00 PER YEAR. Slightly over 50K in 9.5 years. So yeah, I got my pound of flesh from those fuckers.
Note from 2024: About a week ago (mid September), I was in the area near Tricor, or rather, the company that bought that Tricor facility, so I cruised on by. I had heard a couple of years ago that they were having problems so I was not surprised to find that the warehouse was empty, no sign out front, and, according to what the guy at the warehouse across from it told me, they had closed the business back in March. Adios, Motherfuckers!
Well it’ll keep you off the streets – at least during working hours :)
Good grabbing should something better paying come along.
Doesn’t sound evil. Just be careful on the driving, but you did that already.
Congratulations!
As a friend of mine once said: “Have you kissed your job today?” It’s a hard time to be unemployed. I’m glad you got this!
hooray! So relieved for you. Great news!
