What do you all do for a living?

I’ve been with Grainger for 27 years. Last day with them is 12/23/2022. My job(department) has been outsourced to Panama. So need to start looking outside of Grainger next year. Will be interesting as Grainger is all I know. They gave us a good package which is a good thing that will allow me some time. Planning to get serious about the job hunt starting in February

 

I’m a DoD Contractor.. I did 6 years active duty in the Air Force and was very envious of the overpaid guys who didn’t even do half of the bs I had to do.. So I joined them

 

2.5 more years and I’ll prob be doing the same. Almost to retirement haha

 

I’m an Application Engineer for a Machine Tool Manufacturer. That means I have to do sights and sh*t wonders after pulling a rabbit out of the hat to deliver what the sales team promised, all while working around the mistakes and overlooked necessities missed by the shop to make sure the machine(s) don’t ship “too late”.
Also known as an “Unf*cker”.

 

Thats unfortunate, where are you located and what did you do?

We sell through grainger, lots of people buy through them and will come direct, get quoted and then go spend more with grainger because its easier being set up with them so I have no problem there.

 

Bioscience technician for usda here in Idaho. This is my office

 

I’m in Chicago Burbs(worked out of our corporate office). Most recently I worked in our Sourcing division. It’s been a good company, they did what they had to do. Time to move on. Started off in the warehouse, went into sales(inside/outside), worked on our Keepstock team for a few years then Sourcing.

 

Currently DOD contractor as an Avionics Tech on the MQ8-C Firescout unmanned helicopter , 15 years active duty Navy.

 

we had the MQ-B's up until last month. good riddance to that airframe haha

 

AGM for a Steakhouse in Vegas (and yes…I am aware of the irony)

 

Semi retired.
I dabble in dog and cat repair

 

Agreed, i never want to open up a fully bolted down sponson because we had a missing tool ever again lol.

 

Drive this

 

I worked on the TV broadcast crew, primarily with NASCAR, for the last 12ish years. Did a handful of football games, dabbled in hockey, and last year worked with CBS on the inaugural season of SRX racing. This year, I started a new career directly with NASCAR as an official, working with the pit road camera system that monitors all activity on pit road during a race or qualifying or practice sessions. I don't call penalties, I just make sure the system is operating properly, and make video clips of pit stops. I love it! My boss is cool, coworkers are awesome, and I already know everyone from being around them for my entire tenure on the broadcast crew, so it's like all I did was switch offices and uniforms.

 

As of right now in the summer I weed whack in ditches for the local county highway department and then mow lawns/landscaping for people. That entails weed whacking around signs, markers and stuff as the mowers cant get close to them. I'm also the guy that scoops dead possum and drags the dead deer off the road. In the winter I do snow removal.

 

Problem solver

 

mine wasn't missing, that mofo rolled down into it while i was installing the last couple haha

 

Retired carpenter, working full time for Heritage Guitar. Really fun job, most of the time.
