Haven't logged on the forum as frequent as I usually do. I recently quit my job a AT&T that i was at for 13 years for a position at DOW Chemical as a chemical process operator. Cell phones have been the demise of telephone repairman. No home phone lines to repair equals laying techs off due to not enough work; and in an union job, the lay offs come by seniority and not by how good you are or how hard you work. A few years ago I had over 300 techs below me and this year it was down to 99 and they were planning to let another 76 go. I figured id get out while I still could and start another career.
I've been training for 8 weeks now and have till sept 25th to go. When I get to the plant, I'm looking at another year of training to run the Chlorine plant I've been assigned to.
Today I logged in to 71 new threads to go thru
. Keep up the good work out there so I have something to take my mind off when I get a break from all the studying I'm doing.
By the way, I'm typing and doing this off my smartphone
