Once I was planning to do a fruit picking or forklift job at an orchard but the email conversation stopped when I told them I didn't want to work 12 hour days. I have no idea how people are supposed to do this work unless they have money to put down on a bond for a rental plus a reliable and sturdy car for the open road.
For those kinds of work hours they better be offering some serious compensation.
I used to work ridiculous hours at Foodstuffs South Island, we didn't even get a bonus for working past midnight. I don't know how it happened, but our society is ruined.
Capitalism turns everything into a toilet.
