We moved here to be closer to family. My husband also worked very hard to get "promoted" to a plant nearby. His promotion has meant that he has had to work a ridiculous amount of hours, between training and the fact that some of his co-workers took vacations.
I don't know if this is typical for companies to do for their management trainees, but I feel that there has to be some sort of law that should prevent someone from working this much. I have never worked somewhere that demanded the hours that my husband has worked since he has been here.
I can see that the side effects of working all sorts of shifts and hours plus driving for an hour and a half each way... and they aren't good for anyone.
Work ethic isn't measured by how much of your life you spend at your job. Work ethic has to do with being on time and giving your best effort. This county is full of people with fantastic work ethic, and it is something that is expected by everyone here. There are those who don't put forth their best effort, like anyplace, but there is a sense of that "German/ Midwestern/ Farmer" work ethic.
