There are several seniors who take very good care of me. Sometimes they buy me drinks, teach me step by step, and keep reminding me. When I carry too much, they advise me not to, because they are worried I’ll get hurt. I’m truly grateful to them.
This is physical labor, requiring strength, and if you can do a lot, it may be very suitable because it means you can share more of the workload, making things easier for your coworkers and potentially making it more pleasant to get along.
This company is mainly made up of men and involves physical labor. There is a seniority system, and I won’t say whether that is good or bad. However, the quality of the people really varies. Sometimes, for the same task, you don’t even know whose instructions to follow. Based on my personal experience, you should follow whoever is in charge in front of you, or do it according to the method suggested by the person with the strongest opinions.
As I mentioned earlier, this is physical labor. You don’t need to have particularly good character or embody truth, goodness, and beauty to do it. I’ve encountered some unpleasant people and situations myself, but if you haven’t done anything wrong, don’t be afraid. If your own work still isn’t good enough, just do it properly—unless the other person is being too arrogant.
Don’t take this job thinking it will improve your physical health. The environment is basically like a construction site, and getting injured is normal. I frequently have cuts on my hands. After all, when you’re carrying metal frames or similar items, bumping into them naturally means you’ll get hurt. So I wear a jacket and gloves to reduce the risk, but once an accident happens, bleeding really isn’t unusual.
Also, meal times aren’t fixed, so you won’t necessarily have regular three-meal days. That isn’t always the case, because some coworkers take breaks on the sly. Still, the schedule is almost always irregular, so it’s normal for your stomach to suffer after doing this for a long time. If you already have poor health, I strongly advise against coming, unless you feel you have to earn this money—in which case, you bear the consequences.
