Are your guys work staying busy?

 

Easy work

 

Extremely.

 

My company never got slow. Even when covid first hit…

 

I have enough work to do till I retire

 

Yep.

Plenty busy here. Moving into a bigger facility at the end of the month.

 

No rest for the wicked

 

Same.

 

Cant close down supermarkets. So ill always have work. Which is a blessing and a curse lol

 

Same with us. We closed down a circuit board repair facility at the beginning and our customers about had a heart attack. It reopened the moment they got enough masks in.

 

Yep.. 2020 was busy, 2021 was busier, 2022 busier than any year so far.

 

For us slow is a 40 hour work week lol

 

Yeeeeah, screw the car business.

Some of my former employees still call to say what's up. The other day however, one of them called asking how to fix a reporting issue

Guess they never found someone to replace me and put out the fires.

 

On another note, this should help with welding aluminum from now on, should've bought some sooner.

 

Hard pass

 

Its not for everyone lol

 

Companies are pretty bad about knowing who does what. I heard after a few of us quit a previous job, they made a “please don’t let these people leave” list. Brain drain is a real problem at companies with crappy work that don’t keep their employees happy.

 

It seems like they don't budget to keep employees happy. When same role pays less for internal hires than external hires it seems like they don't really care about retention. I've talked about this with several people, every company has openings at every level and cries about losing employees on the team but doesn't actually incentivise staying.

I found out that I could probably get a 30-50pct raise by changing companies again... I really don't want to, my team is awesome... BUT it also leaves me feeling underappreciated
