    Always was a team player, never got me anywhere.

    As soon as I stopped, I got a raise, no lie

    When I left there was a huge increase in comebacks and misdiagnosis.
    Service manager had no clue why the younger guys were having so much trouble.
    So I smiled and said remember that big raise I wanted cause it was years due and
    You said they couldn’t at that time?
    That’s the day I stopped helping everyone…. And now your hiring kids with no experience for what I was just about making…
    I might have stayed longer..
    How much has it cost the company the past 2 years when you lost someone who cared?
    Just had his head down.
    Has asked me more than once to come back part time.
    I told him you could afford me…

    Its really starting to take effect. clutch/brake went out on my machine last nite. i helped install new one and had all needed tools at hand before they needed it. was that far ahead of them. long story short. ran 10 minutes and it messed up. unit was too hot to leave ur hand on it. rewired at then wouldnt work. sayed they dont know and drove off in their golf cart. not once did they use a meter or pull the schematics out of the power panel. so we shut line down for the nite. total lost production 14 hrs. fk it i took vacation and left. company knows but wont hire skilled labor. sooo (Cheap Labor isnt Skilled and Skilled Labor isnt Cheap):thumbsup:

    I like the saying about our work is:
    good
    cheap
    fast
    Pick 2 of the 3.
    Good/fast, won't be cheap.
    Cheap/fast won't be good.
    Cheap/good, won't be fast.

    You should go back part time, with a raise, then once the comebacks and misdiagnosis go down, quit and change your phone # so they can't contact you again. :laughing:

    But, but, but.... i need to save $$$ for my own pockets!! o_O

    Uh-oh

    'Since 1959, Jiffy Pop has been the reigning snack of choice for families all over the country. While it's not technically discontinued, it can only be found in a handful of stores or online.'

    Wow, blast from the past, like 1976 past, haven't thought of Jiffy Pop in years.
    Thanks for the memory. ;)
