I am in the process of getting rid of everything machine shop related . I can't pass skills or interest down thru the children . I'm keeping anything that is household related , more on the wood working line . It's painful to see things leave that have made a living off of , but it sure is nice after they are gone .
I'm a machinist by trade . It used to be a fun and somewhat rewarding trade . It is no longer either . I'm am now a data entry clerk answering to desk jockeys who have masters degrees in chart making . I can't work without a chart , so let's have 20 meetings and make a chart or 2 .
This $hi* really makes me sick and I'm throwing in the towel . I refuse to bust my arse baby sitting people who don't want to work , are never repremanded by bosses who coundn't give a rats butt about anything .
I left 4 notes on our board addresses to my manager last night . I took pictures and sent them to him saying to call me . So , as to now , no response , which doesn't surprise me one bit .
The best way to lose a good employee is to reward the bad / non-caring employees . Just hire a few more managers and buy some more whips to lash the few who care harder .
Rant over .
