A smug name for a worker who shovels, lifts, and sweats through a soul-crushing job, but loves the cash, the perks, and the union. The real factory rats are the ones who work so much overtime they might as well be born in the warehouse.
I'm a factory rat. I've got a pension, a union, and a life that's about as exciting as a broken conveyor belt.
My coworker works 80 hours a week. He's not a factory rat, he's a factory mouse with a caffeine addiction.
I'm not just a factory rat. I'm a factory rat with a gold watch and a heart full of resentment.
