A few days ago, my supervisor pulled me aside and handed me a write-up. When I asked what it was for, he said: “Your attitude. You don’t smile or seem approachable.” Mind you I’m a picker. I work 10-hour shifts moving heavy boxes in a windowless building where we’re not allowed to have earbuds, take phone calls, or speak unless it’s job-related. I barely interact with anyone. I asked if I missed a task or slowed production. He said no, but “morale matters.” So now I guess I’m supposed to beam like a Disney mascot while hauling pallets in steel-toed boots for $16 an hour? I didn’t argue. I just nodded, signed the paper, and went right back to work stone-faced. Smile for who? The boxes?
