That is the job I applied for and interviewed for, and that is the job I thought I got. I have seven years machine operator experience. I have skills which the packing job would not make use of. To be blunt, it is an idiot job. I really don't want to quit if there are any alternatives.
Jobs are hard to find around here.
Please don't tell me to just accept things the way they stand now. To use an analogy from another type of work, what happened to me would be like somebody obtaining what they understood was a computer programming position, only to end up in the mailroom. That said, you must also realize that some problems have no remedy despite your best efforts. In many situations like the one described, the company has the upper hand. In some places it is even worse.
