1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

That third gen BS is a bitch haha

 

Well it is a dealership. Can probably have a cheaper service dept to run with a rotating door of nincompoops than with 7 well paid good tech

 

Very much an issue

 

I'd be rolling my box out the door mad if that happened to me. I'm not suggesting that to you though. I have no idea what the job market is currently like. I gave up looking for gainfull employment at 50. Correction: employers stopped looking at hiring 50+ ers.

 

Trust me, if I had a flat bed with me I would be out and starting at a new job by Monday:

 

If you are competent. Machine shops are happy to hire 50+ folks, just gotta be able to learn

 

If you did roll out your box would you go back Monday if Mgr. called and apologized?

 

Like I wanna spend my golden years in front of Lathe, press or CNC keyboard

 

No. This shits been spiralling out of control the past few months. My days there are coming to an end on my terms soon

 

it's one of the more mentally strenuous but not physically strenuous jobs that you can still do that's a trade. And don't worry they never stick an old person in front of a CNC. They know older folks have trouble turning G-Code and M code into a position in the Cartesian plane. Old folks just end up crashing cnc's and costing money

Sorry. Maybe I misinterpreted that.

 

I sincerely doubt the coordinates would challenge my intellect but the mind numbing repetitive boredom presents a real challenge. I have specd, designed and machined custom heavy equipment split bearings that worked IRL.Only orders from the boss were here's the address, take a look. I would still do that except for the BS from the youngsters and making same weekly bank in a day now.

 

Just do hvacr lol

 

That 3rd Gen BS is B.S.

What about moving to a private shop?

All good bud. I just need to put together a solid action plan and get started. One way or the other. Thx again.

 

Will say one thing for overtime boy, he's in the right field. As temps rise, more and more demand for functional AC. Going to see a huge uptick in demand for experienced HVAC techs.

 

I cant sleep in the day. Line EVACs take so long. You must have a HUGE pump.

 

What about private shops? I would think that staying in the business since you already have the experience is only going to continue to open up new doors as the demand begins to increase for Hybrid/Full Electric. Toyota still requires (and provides) up to date certification, right?

 

I don't have any carpet except the bedroom
