Warehouse Assistant
Of all that has ever been, this would have been the perfect setting for a sabotage. Thinking absolutely nothing of the results, a car trip was taken with another guy to a warehouse in the Smithfield industrial area. The man interrogating, David Li, managed to come across as this really mean type. A vicious nature boiling under the surface. The lady who'd set up the meeting in the first place was spoiling all plans for a self-destruct. Her notes would be passed on to others in a position of regulation and whatnot.
Definitely fuelled by the prospect of being paid a handsome finder's fee, the lady was singing all sorts of praise for the both of us. The manager looked right disinterested and bothered by the whole ordeal.
Sly hacks were attempted; rocking back and forth on the heavy chair on rollers like a nut, even illiciting the response, "are you alright?"; laughing on the news of a previous employee running off with a hundred dollars of merchandise; apathetic turns of reply for questions of looking for full-time work and such; shrugging a lot to present a defeated gesture.
Located hardly with any intent for the user of public transport, asides were pushed at the hard and arduous task of even getting there everyday. A last ditch effort to throw in the towel and hopefully fail this particular interview.
Nothing worked though. A few days later it would turn out to be an exercise in racial alignment. With the other guys on the warehouse floor being Asian and the other contender a bearded Caucasian, it was a heart stopping moment of hearing news of the impending doom for the start of the next week.
This one isn't considered a success.
Here the plot to hatch a free bike transpired. Enduring the first week would start the loan of the bike. Staying a full three months would turn over the possession. Hard decisions later thrown out when the workload was discovered and the measly pay compared to counterparts in other suburbs. Forget the bike, get fired instead. Not an easy task when they're looking to keep their kickbacks flowing in for the minimum stay needed by their end.
