1. Everything is on a need to know basis. No one knows anything. Meaning you will not know if mandatory overtime is coming until a day prior. As well as the reason why work is slow.
2. It doesn't matter if you never miss work, volunteer for overtime, or just always on time. You will never be a permanent employee. Be prepared to get fired at any moment.
3. Be prepared for the worst once you clock in. You never know what to expect. When work is slow be prepared to do a job that you are not used to doing such as making boxes, cleaning all routers to get the dead roaches off of them, last but not least warehouse duties. It doesn't matter what job position you apply for do not think your job is secure.
4. Asking your supervisor questions such as how come there is no work, what do I need to do now, how is my work performance are all useless questions because they will tell you I don't know.
5. Last but not least it doesn't matter if you are a great employee and reach daily goals you will soon be terminated. It doest matter what job you have. Your days of working are limited.
