It has been two weeks into my new job
And I have to say, so far, I like it. I was hired there
To assist and train under a very talented computer
Draftsman and learn AutoCAD. I have to say, I have been
Using TurboCAD for 6 years now, and I don’t know how I
Ever got along without AutoCAD for so long. It is such a
Superior product and VERY powerful.
Because of my back round in production and in machine operation,
I was asked this week to don my tape measurer
and go out to shop and operate the beam saw and do my part
to help the company get caught up on some orders that have
to ship shortly. It has been about 12 years since I ran a beam
saw for more than a couple of hours at a time, but I guess
it’s like a bicycle, once you know how, you don’t forget!
it feels great to show them my versatility, in a couple of
hours, I felt completely at home on the saw, just like
old times. I’m hoping to get an opportunity to get on their
edgebander or CNC machine too.
As far as the company goes, they really treat their
people good. It is a great change to work for a company
that treats their people like members of the family. It
means a lot to me to have the one of the owners come up
to you and thank you for working hard as well as the other
owner thanking you for working overtime on a Saturday.
that may seem trivial to some, but that is more than the
usual “hmmph” that I got from the owner of the old place
I came from. Acknowledgement sometimes means more
than money.
It’s also great working with the crew at the new place.
there is a real sense of artistry and craftsmanship in the
new place. It’s not like “making a bunch of dumb boxes”
that I was used to in the old place. The
guys have a real emphasis on quality and not quantity.
Not to be forgotten, the level of maturity and professionalism is a
real bonus too.
All in all, it’s a far better place to work, aside from
a few key people at the old place, I don’t miss it.
It’s also nice being in a place where you are not held in
contempt or
treated as a beast of burden in the stable with all of the other
draft animals. What a better way of saying “Fuck You”
to the semi-retired ownership and the next generation to the
throne is to get a better job,
with a better product that pays better.
