Anything you might’ve wanted to know about what really goes on in a chicken processing factory I might be able to tell you! (I’ve only been there 6 weeks so I don’t know EVERYTHING. But I know a bit!)

Sounds like you stuck up for yourself and made a change then, well done!

Thank you! I still say it was unfair 😒 I was written up for slow/poor trimming but the cutter I was with was absolutely dreadful and every breast he was cutting off had half the keel bone in it which had to be cut out. No-one could’ve kept up with that! My supervisor told me there was 73kg of meat I did not trim, which I dispute because there were already two tubs full of untrimmed breasts when I got to that station!

Anyway, they’re now trying out a new method of pairing the trainees with experienced cutters who won’t get all the shitty bits so trimming for them is much easier.
