Northwest Fishing Reports

Yeah, I'm looking for work. I've been involved with warehouse work for over 40 years. Shipping & Receiving, Inventory Control, Order Picking and Customer Service. The cheap $0B that I'm working for has put me on an On-Call status. I have more seniority in the warehouse then anyone else, but I'm the first one sent home when it gets slow. My boss is the most manipulative person I've ever met. He turned 88 years old today and still doesn't think his s=it stinks. He held an interview last week with a new possible employee and told him to give his 2 week notice and start work in MY warehouse in two weeks. The next day my boss changed his mind but it was too late for the new guy. He'd already given his notice and now he's out of work after having a paying job. How ethical is that? Man, I really need a new full time job. OH YEAH, 2 years ago he took our vacation time away.
Thanks for letting me RANT, and thanks for listening.

I would look into working for a beverage distributor (unless that's who you are with now). I was the floor manager in the warehouse at a Distribution facility in Bellingham for several years and lemme tell you, when the economy is down the beer and wine business is-a-boomin'! We had plenty of work and seasonal booms with holidays like St Pattys, New Years, X Mas, 4th of July.....

Sorry to hear about your predicament man.

Thanks Matt. I'll check with a couple of them tomorrow. Sounds like good advice.

Not sure which ones are in your area but the big ones around here are Columbia and Sound Beverage, down in Seattle one of the really big ones is Odom Corp, I think they have a Spokane location as well. I think over east there is King Beverage as well.
