Plastic pellets are 18 cents a pound and in 35 seconds you could turn 4 pounds of plastic into $60 worth of a different shape of plastic.
Look around your house at all the stupid plastic shit you own and ask yourself what you paid for all that plastic because I will tell you that plastic only cost 18 cents a pound until someone heated it up a bit and molded it into an XXL sized dildo for you to shove up your ass.
There is nothing wrong with molding plastic.
On ebay you can buy a plastic injection molding machine for $15k but you gotta go get a mold machined for it so you can make something.
And you have to know how to run the machine and ship the finished goods to the customer.
Really seems like a money factory just I never saw much money.
Now I got a new job and it is totally awesome (probably).The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

there isn't fundamentally, but a lot of people see it as boring / low brow work. At the plastics place I worked at there were a lot of greasy pig fuckers that worked there but really a lot of different kind of people worked there some were cool, I stood out like a sore thumb though. In the class I felt like the smartest man in the world compared to some of the people in the class and It was almost like I was too intelligent to get a long with a lot of the people that worked there. Like almost no one talked to me and the women there that were not complete fat pigs didn't espeaka the english.
There was one girl that liked me but she was a total rag head that sat next to me in class and gave me her number and I asked her what she was snackin on and she looked at me wide eyed and was like "SPICY COOORY!" -

There are downsides to working at a factory, sure. What about the plastic fumes that you inhale? I guarantee you that there was no testing done. Yet I also heard from people who worked metal press factories in eastern europe that over some time said you start to lose feeling in your hands, since everything vibrates violently while you hold it. BUT if its enough for you to live your life, have a place, have kids, etc. then who the fuck cares?
Parts of the country are full of complete idiots, just like any place, really. If the cost of living is cheap and it allows you to do your thing then who cares. How is it any different than working in a kitchen? You have 20 different dishes to cook, or you have 20 different molds to use. The real question is; how much longer will you have the job for; will the kikes steal it in 5-10 years? -
2021-03-01 at 8:44 AM UTCI don't know you guys.
Plastics sounded sweet to me because I felt like I had experience that would come in handy when I first took that job.
I have worked in plastics before and there is a good chance you have had plastic I made in your mouth.
If you ever drank out of a Pepsi bottle or Mountain Dew bottle around 2009-2010 there is a decent chance I maybe made it.
If you twist the cap off and then cut off the little plastic ring that stays with the bottle there is a number underneath that plastic ring which can be traced to a specific cavity on a specific mold making that specific type of bottle.
If you want to bash my plastics that is fine but stop putting it in your mouth. -

Plastic fumes?
Only if you light it on fire.
My old boss said the only reason he hasn't bought robots to take everyone's jobs was because it would cost more paying a couple guys to maintain the robots than it would cost to pay a bunch of idiots to be the robots. -

The plastics have to be melted to be molded. It most likely releases some fumes even if you don't burn it. I used to go to a gym that was close to a plastics factory; you could smell it from some blocks away. That smell is there because shit is going airborne. -

Automation engineer does pay a lot of money. -
2021-03-01 at 9:06 AM UTCI only was molding plastic because that is where I had to start.
I knew what I wanted to do from day 1 and worked hard until I got to do it.
Im talking about changing molds and doing maintenance stuff.
The only thing was they really didn't need me doing any of that.
But I liked doing it and they let me.
Only thing is that I wasn't actually ever going to make the money the people who did that stuff full time made unless something happened to one of them and I got lucky enough to get to fill the open position.
My last job really wasn't that big of a place and it wasn't going to be worth my time to wait around.
Last January (2020) I told my boss I quit and I did until the next day when I still didn't have a new job.
Then covid didn't happen but everyone thought it did so I stayed there because
A - I didn't want to stop smoking pot to pass a drug test
B - I didn't want to have to get a covid test.
C - I also didn't have my license yet.
I switched to shipping to try and give myself something new to learn and stay busy doing but I couldn't escape the resentments I had from the factory side of things. Even though none of it really mattered at the end of the day, it still left a shitty taste in my mouth and just ruined my attituded. I still worked hard at my job but I also didn't hide the fact I wasn't having a good time.
I became a sarcastic jackass pretty much non stop.
