They actually don't expect that. We as everyone, are short staffed and spread thin. They know they need me to have the cert, more than I need the cert. It is just that they hope there will be a better time than the present to get it done. Now they have to have me miss a Friday, because they have no choice. They gambled and lost, happens every time. I have been busy doing projects and upgrades every work day for the last 4 months, and doing break fixes too. We cannot keep up. I also don't want to work more than I am, I told them that when I came out of retirement to help them get this branch running.
At least we have hired a couple of green younger people to try to add to our numbers, but it takes a while to get them up to speed, then it takes years to get them really good. Assuming they stay.
What I would like to know, is where is everyone? Every place I see has a help wanted sign! Every place! There can't be so many jobs that we don't have enough people to fill them. How are people getting by if they are not working? Who is supporting them? Our taxes and money printer going brrrrrrr? I have always done well for myself and family, and this is a great time to be starting a career, if you have any drive. Sorry for the long rant, I am just confused by this current situation.
If responding, please keep politics out of it.
