> This has been so cathartic talking about what I had been through. I've held in these negative emotions all these years. I had nightmares that I was back at BD doing assembly work.

Saaaaame. I rarely hear people online talking about what it's like to work at BD. I usually vent to my boyfriend about this stuff since we both worked there, but I worry I'm starting to feel like a broken record to him. Doesn't help that he still works there, mainly out of necessity. The first year after I quit, I had flashbacks that would ruin days at a time. They were the absolute worst and despite having a supportive boyfriend, I felt like no one could relate, let alone, support me after the immediate aftermath. Now into the second year, I just feel numb and still scared to find another job since the BD one had made me feel so suicidal. But thankfully, my bf and I have a decent enough financial situation where I don't need to have a job.

> But the biggest divide I saw was between the people who worked in the office vs people who worked on the production floor.

Oh yeah, this absolutely happened at my place, too. Had an engineer, who often worked on the floor, refer to the office people as "the carpet people" lol. Had another engineer not bother to learn the names of assemblers. Both sides usually disliked one another for petty reasons. You could immediately tell who was a carpet person by the shoes they wore.

Surprisingly didn't have shifts, uniforms, or even security guards, though. We did have people smoking behind the warehouse area, especially the QA people. Hell, I'm deadass convinced that one dude always snuck off halfway through the day to smoke weed in his car, dude always smelled like SHIT when he came back. But, as a side note for pay, the factory *literally next door* to us was paying more lol.

> Every year they have the company picnic in the late summer/early fall time and the food was just quantity; there was no quality at all. And every year there was a company holiday party at a hotel. Nothing was special about either events.

Same. Though, I still remember at one of the holiday parties, people were giving away their raffle tickets and trying to leave early. I got given a ticket and won one of the bigger prizes. Unfortunately, a coworker I trusted literally snuck off with it while I was doing the White Elephant event. I was completely devastated and nothing could've been done since the ticket wasn't originally mine. And as an extra kick to the nuts, she likely knew my birthday was coming up, too. My work/friendship/whatever with her quickly soured and might've been the catalyst for me quitting.

> I worked in packaging, patient care unit, large volume pumps and patient care analgesia.

Oof. I lucked out and mainly worked on packaging, accessories, and filters. Still, the worst was packaging big stuff. Always took two people to lift the boxes and required them to be on their feet for roughly half the day. I was one of the few young people not working on the main lines, so the managers always made me do it despite me being like 5'2" and easily fatigued. And since they took up a lot of room, they were always first priority and managers panicked to have them gone. I always dreaded seeing those giant boxes. I think I even started having couch nap nightmares about [cardboard boxes](https://youtu.be/Y7rw9gqfZow?si=HOwcondOdWwKYYbL) lol.

>During training, the trainer didn't let me take notes, because the company wanted to protect their trade secrets, so it was hard to remember things. I was rushed through the process and I was not allowed to make mistakes.

Training was usually a mixed bag as assemblers (but sometimes managers) usually trained other assemblers, and only on a need-to-know basis. Sometimes, an engineer would train on new protocols, but it was another hat they wore. Thankfully, note taking wasn't an issue. Hell, thief coworker from earlier actually had *a whole filing cabinet* full of notes next to her desk lol. Still, training was always treated as this thing to get out of the way, so I got rushed anyway. I think I even got scolded for crying once, my brain is thankfully fuzzy on that one. Same shit with inspections.
