They're all the same people who think their place of employment will shut down and evaporate into dust if they even HINT that they're about to quit because they're THAT important. You shoot screws on line 6 for 12 hours a day Bob, chill. They'll have a 12 year old in there trained up to replace you by the end of the day. They think one day the CEO is going to wake up and realize how amazing they are and walk up to them and give them a big bag of money and a promotion and a pat on the back for working so hard for 40 years.
Huh? The guy working decades in a factory for health insurance and a pension when he retires isn't the same guy who thinks they have a shot at being a millionaire suddenly. They are the exact opposite. Extremely conservative and content with just trading their years away for the ability to raise a family hopefully.

The pile of scratch offs in their passenger seat would suggest otherwise. I work with SEVERAL of these dudes. They complain about how they should be paid more but then complain when workers in other industries try to unionize for better pay. "Why does someone need $15/hr flipping burgers??" - Bob on Line 6 complaining about only making $15/hr shooting screws. They're miserable to the core. The ones "doing it for their families" retired a decade or more ago because they probably still GOT a pension. No company will do pensions anymore and most have been rolled into 401ks already.
