RE

To many slave hours for a old man to do, a hour drive (a little over) then it is 9 hours because they take a hours lunch, then a hours drive home so right now it is a minimum 11 hour days, still going through company "training" so will likely be more hours when done that and in the field, is what it is.
 From what I gather this local division was a previous Canadian company bought out by this American conglomerate to both gain market share and reduce competition. Only one employee left from the original company a 30 year employee ready to retire soon.
 He tells me he hates the company, loved the old one. I am sure they would have let him go but he has some legacy knowledge of systems they need so it is like a old married couple that fight all the time but stay together cause it is all they know.
It has a depressingly corporate monotonous smell about the place. Everyone seems to cc 50 or more people in their both ass covering, and attention seeking emails, makes me want to puke. I have been warned that birthday cakes are given and everyone is expected to attend and sing happy birthday, For fucks sake I am a grown man I don't need to be part of a dog and pony show. If a company wants to acknowledge a employees birthday then reward them properly with the day off with pay so they can see the faces of their family on their birthday not a couple dozen faces likely half of which wont even be around next year. Somebody is risking a cake in the face if they pull that shit on me.
