Wow! I took a job there many many years ago when I was fresh out of prison and they were the only place that payed even halfway decently for a newly released felon. Was a solid stepping stone, but good grief what an awful place, even for a newly released ex-con. I had worked in the prison laundry room, and regularly cleaned inmates jumpers that were soiled from feces, blood, and even worse things. You can't imagine the smell of a suicidal inmates jumpsuits after intentional self-soiling, then being run thru a dryer 2 or 3 times after being "washed" in plain cold water. until you pull into the Tyson plant, that is lol. But the place did give me the means to have my rights restored and record expunged. I imagine those who want to could use that place to accomplish the same. Shame a place folks like me can use as a springboard is shutting down, especially in Glen allen where that demographic is woefully underrepresented as it is.

Unrelated to Tyson’s but glad you were able to get back on your feet after prison! They make it way too hard to do

It took a VERY long time and a lot of money lol. Definitely a painful process, but life is pretty good now! Thanks for the kind words!

What makes chicken plant smell so awful? Do they allow the refuse to sit around a while in trash cans?

> place that paid even halfway

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

  • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

  • Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

Beep, boop, I'm a bot
