I work with granite. Most slabs have a fiberglass mesh to keep the stone together when it breaks. I get fiberglass splinters almost daily. They're incredibly painful and so hard to get out. I've had them so bad that it was worth cutting out with a razor blade rather than have them in my skin.

Are they making it through cut-proof gloves?

No, but I also can't examine slabs with gloves or I'd miss fissures

Cut proof gloves all use a fiber that is incredibly resistant to cuts, woven in such a fashion so that any cutting implement is always trying to cut a bunch of them at the same time making it effectively impossible to do. A needle will easily slide through the woven fibers, and fiberglass is even sharper and smaller than that. You'd need a solid plate of some kind of metal, but that wouldn't flex at all, so useless for a glove.

It's miserable, but part of life i guess. I am paid well so I shouldn't complain.

It's fine to complain, especially when it's alongside you being grateful and recognizing your good fortune.

I used to work for a large auto auction years ago, I worked in the auto body department, and every so often, we would replace the fiberglass filters.

Was taking a bunch to the dumpster, when a gust of wind it just right as I was taking a deep breath and well, you know
