Im 36 years old now, and Im considering changing jobs again. I did like my current job. In September, our old Boss left for our Mechanicsburg facility, and we got a young kid who has never managed before. We knew he was getting the job ,despite the fact that he wasn't even remotely close to the most qualified that applied. It was a political thing, which always fucks shit up. Anyways, this guy is terrible. He is terrible at every aspect of decision making, terrible with managing employees and their needs. He is a complete dick. I've tried to be nice and hope he would change. But I realize its just the way he is. There are 4 of us full time employees here, and 2 at our smaller "sister" facility that I help out a few miles away. All but 1 of us are planning our exits. I just cant fathom working for this guy any longer than I have to. We get our big bonuses in a month or so and I think everybody is gonna Johnny paycheck their ass and "Take this Job and Shove It". I have an offer for a factory job for similar pay after the new year. I will be giving up 4 weeks vacation and a week sick time, but it's 12 hour shifts, 3 days on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off type of thing. So I would have plenty of time for hunting and fishing and my family. I haven't worked a factory in 18 years, but I just despise the thought of going into work every day now. I worked my ass off for awhile to put my wife through school, and now she makes really good money. She was skeptical at first, but now she's seeing how stressed I am, and she's supporting me to do it. So Im gonna just put it into cruise control for a few months and make the change.
