What was the best summer job you ever had? And
what job would you not do again, no matter how
much it paid?

Speaker 2 (00:10):

Speaker 3 (00:11):
What job would I not do again, no matter how
much you paid? That foundry at four Motive?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Come, oh, you you wouldn't do that.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
I wouldn't do that, and I would not do now
the worst that you know? The foundry I didn't like it,
the assimilar nine at four Man.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
I have some cool people I worked with. That wasn't bad.
Going to work wasn't what I was meant to do.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
But uh, the linking electric is the worst job I've
ever had.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
I hate it.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
What did you do there?

Speaker 4 (00:42):
What did you do that? I wrap coil wire? It's
really it's tough.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
You know what dies are, Nives are these small round
things that you pull wire through, and every die gets smaller.
So the wire goes through and compresses and shaves down
and gets thinner and there.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
So let's say the wire starts.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Like a microphone cord, okay, and what you're trying to
get it down to is a cord wire that goes
inside of inside to speaker wire.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
What it is really?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, So you put that through the die and it
goes through this machine at a high speed, and every
diet goes through every six eight feet gets small and smaller,
and it wraps up into a big coil, and then
you got to box it.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Up and put it on the pallette.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Now to break even, your dad had to make two
hundred and thirty eight boxes a day.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Wow, it'd be some days I finished. I got eighty.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Short ugly, I mean, you know, but now you're gonna
get a guarantee.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
But to get the bonus you had to make extra.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
And at the end of the year, guys was getting
fifty thousand dollars bonus sixty five Thou what I ain't
never get a bone?

I hate it?

Speaker 2 (02:19):

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I didn't like doing the mechanical work to keep the
line running, because you had to change ther dies all
the time. Because the respect to come by and tell
you that your wire has a score in it, which
means a little scratch that means one of the dies
is war out and you don't catch it. Then the
inspect to come by and X out all your boxes

(02:43):
in the box with the scores and it got to go.
So you lose fifteen fifteen boxes went inspector.
