Not So Pro 3

[GCJenks204]

Maybe close to the same boat here Gary.
We were a "smaller" company when I hired on in 2009(the "even smaller" company I worked for was taken over by those guys as it was circling the drain).
Was a really good company to work for.
I could call both owners and speak to them about issues if the situation called for it.
They were(are) both humble, personable people.
Almost 5 years ago, we "merged" into a "big" company. 2nd largest material handling company in the lower 48.
These folks ingest another "smaller" company almost monthly now.
Didnt notice much difference the first couple of years, as the big guy rightfully decided to let our former owners run things, since they were doing a better job than their other aquisitions in our field.
Then they decided to make it "one big happy family".
Been a steady decline since.
Sorry for the TLDR, but I believe its finally time for me to see what else is out there as well.
As for the whiskey, it doesnt help.
Goes from one shot to 2,3,4....depends on your level of "addictiveness".
Mines a bit too high for that.
Melatonin is something I can get behind.

If I manage to sleep tonight the new DIC has requested a meeting and one of the topics if my future with the company. I made it clear to him today that I in no way seeing myself making a commitment to spend my next 15 years until retirement here. He seemed quite taken aback that I would express such, after all in his mind he did tell he he saw good thing in my future. Of course what he’s neglecting to remember is that he also told me that my current position was being eliminated and he would have a plan for me in a week, 6 weeks ago.

Sounds like hes an "important" fella.
Guess trivial things like your future with the company slipped his mind "momentarily". Nevermind him actually seeing what youve done there the last 20 years or so.
Sad to say, but its a more common occurence these days.
Nobody looks at track record or history anymore unfortunately. Its all "trending".
Wish you could overcome that, but I'm starting to see its a lost cause.
Just keep calm and focused.
A solution will come.
Remember, its easier to find a job if you have a job.

With or without chopped onion?
My grandparents would eat it for lunch with chopped onion added, in a tall glass.
If for supper, onions were usually left out.
Y'all are making my fat arse HUNGRY.
Either way, leftover cornbread didnt go to waste around us.

It has Jalapenos cooks in it. Just a few....

So no onion needed. Just milk.

LOL!
Duct tape slacker.

I'm guessing you are making a flatbed for it?
Need pics FFS!

Guys that know how to do the job, are in demand. Companies pretend you need them, when the reality is they need you. String them along until you have your ducks lined up. Then give your notice. When they counter offer, respectfully decline their offer. It never works out to accept. They are just buying themselves time, and making the inevitable separation fit their schedule, not yours.

Good luck.

Warbles

We had a cat with a warble in its neck when it was a kitten. Glenda and Jasmine got it out. Named the cat Warbles of course.

He disappeared a few months ago. Not sure what happened to him.

It’s simply called Corporate America…I guess in Gary’s case, Corporate Canada.

Mom used to make "Mexican corn bread" with Jalapenos, chili's, and cheese. Good stuff!

A good number of people that I do business with have expressed shock that he got the job over me. Since his hire I’ve received 2 unsolicited offers, only one came close to paying me what I’m worth it had a fair amount of risk associated so I declined. The other wasn’t enough $ and work that didn’t appeal to me. Yesterday I made a call and “ applied” for a position, too early to know where it will lead but I know I can replace them faster than they can replace me.

I need to draw it out a month at least as annual bonuses get paid out in February and need to still be employed to qualify.


I just need to relax and chill knowing it will all work out as it’s meant to be. People don’t leave bad jobs, they leave bad management.

Well said, seems like you know what you are doing. Sometimes change ends up being the best thing you ever did.
