At the Home Depot here in Manchester, New Hampshire...
They asked me how it is that I struggle more to do the same jobs here that I did so well in Arkansas and generally down south.
So I said...
Can I feel free to be honest with you ?
He said please do.
I told him that first of all, New Hampshire is politically very radically different than the South or in Arkansas.
New Hampshire is a very, very pro-employee state, by American standards..
That means that managers have much more to lose, and so they pass off their problems onto the employees....
Because the managers can't do any better than a grade A, quality professional job, they compensate for this by placing more and more and more demands onto the employees.
Suppose I get hurt on the job...
New Hampshire isn't going to say that Andrew made the error, he has health insurance, let him Unfuck himself...
New Hampshire is going to say that the Manager should have done this, this, that, this and this and that better in some way.
That makes the management here in New Hampshire more afraid of life.
That hurts my ability not necessarily to do my job, but to satisfy the management.
What I do hurts my management here, more than it does myself...
So the management is tougher on their employees here...
That hurts my job.
He asked me how so..
I said that the Managers here in Northeast, and New Hampshire is no different...
They micromanage, they're tough and strict, they're more hands on with their employees, they're much less patient with their employees...
They sometimes mistreat their employees.
The second thing is...
This is low level work, menial labor.
Down south, menial labor dominates the marketplace..
Here in New Hampshire where the economy is more mature, it brings in the stars that come out night to cause their problems in the streets at night.
The menial labor brings them here during the day.
This is because most people here have a college degree or a trade school certificate, who is left doing the menial labor ?
This makes my work here more dangerous to myself than it is down south, doing the same job.
I'm not 100% sure if number two is exactly true, but I feel that I should be cautious of it or take it under consideration.
