Native to the western US but they take over your yard and because the seeds can survive in the ground for up to seven yeas they are just about impossible to get rid of.
I spent many years in the transportation industry working through holidays, nights and weekends.
I've done this (not many holidays though) for a long time. When I was younger and single (no family) it didn't bother me much.
Yeah. When you have a family you can't walk away from abusive a-hole bosses like you would when you were single : /
I had business owners I worked for who were cheating customers, their suppliers sometimes, cutting corners on safety and falsifying documents and cheating the taxman who expected me to do dishonest, even illegal, things because well the boss said so. I couldn't do it. It drains your soul to work for dishonest people. My married co-workers were stuck. They couldn't say no. I could, and did.
A FedEx Ground terminal I once was an entry level manager at had a 250% annual turnover of package handlers. That drew some HR involvement but consider the acceptable turnover rate was 150%. Manager turnover was 20% a year. I lasted four years there. You get tired of managers above you shouting out their office door as you walk in for your next 12-14 hour shift, "YOU, get in my office now" so they can ream you out for something ( because you learned not to ever answer the phone at home knowing the very same manager would call you at 9:00 am after you finished work at 4:00am to yell at you, and it gets old to have a sort manager get in your face and poke you in the chest with their forefinger while blowing your hair back with a stream of F-bombs.
The ironic thing is that the managers we had who came over from union shops like UPS or the old Roadway Systems were the worst for cussing other employees out. The guy who used to poke me in the chest simultaneous with a torrent of F-bombs was from UPS by way of ConWay Systems. HR was useless so I just told HR the next time he did that I was calling the police and filing charges. That ended the problem ! But I have seen fist fights and package handlers from different gangs throwing gang sign language across the warehouse at each other. A couple of the female package handlers got into a gnarly brawl one night gouging and hair pulling. Crazy place to work but I had to put food on the table and a roof over my head so I sucked it up.
