I actually work for a contractor for the federal government and not Iron Mountain. There are A LOT of companies down there but from what I know Iron Mountain is top notch in securing records. I know they secure them for Universal Studios, Walt Disney, BMG, Marriott, etc. All temperatured controlled and secured quite well.

I work at a truck axle factory. If you see a truck trailer there is an 80% chance that the axles under it came from where I work. They had to get rid of most of the Honduran workers when they got a Govt. contract. When I started there I was trained by a bunch of Hondurans using "Spanglish". Our managers are weak. If one assembler makes a mistake they tell the people down the line they are going to start punishing THEM for not noticeing the previous assemblers mistake. There used to be a lot of people on pills, not so bad now. Our safety/enviro lady is a 4'9" Nazi. She nitpicks every little detail (which is good) but several people have complained about the Honduran who has a habit of hitting people when he swings truck axles out of the paint booth. Sometimes he swings 900 pound axles over peoples head. When we tell her about this she literally acts like she cant hear you. They fire attractive women because they get too much attention from coworkers and use quality as an excuse. Then they don't fire assemblers who have twice as many defects and stop the line constantly. Someone is using feces to write on the wall of the stalls in the women bathroom. One guy got fired for smoking crack in a stall. For a factory we are waaaay over managed. They won't hire more assemblers to save money but you cant swing a dead cat without hitting someone in khaki pants carrying a coffe cup. BUT...I drive a forklift and I don't have to deal with 90% of the crap. I sort of embraced the insantiy of the place and laugh often. Hoping to use my Merchant Mariners Document soon and get back on the Ocean.

Sounds like a interesting place. I guess mine is somewhat normal, then. It's soooooo annoying though. I feel like an *******, but I'm to the point I don't talk to anyone but the two people I like.. my boss and another guy my age. My immediate boss rocks.

I'm a project manager on an oil sands site so I manage something like this:



Only the monkies have more education than my guys and instead of typewriters they each run a $60,000 piece of survey gear.
