Do you know how many "managers" I told to take a flying fk? Thats the whole point, you don't have to take it..
New company purchased a company where I was the TOP producing sales guy for 4 years in a row... New " manager" called me in and old me they were going to cut my pay in half.... I thanked him for motivating me ( man did that piss him off) then I walked down the hall, sat at an unoccupied desk making phone calls until I had a new job.. Walkd back into the dicks office and quit...... THATS what you do when your treated poorly.....

You can also organize and stop it in it's tracks. It's all in the perspective.

As a member of the IBEW I will say that the union has been very good to me.

I will also say that if a company treats its employees fairly and offers a reasonable wage and benefit package to EVERYONE not just management...
Then there is no need for a union in that case.

 

[Bullitt347]

I am not a fan of Unions due to my own personal experience with them.
I have always been good at negotiating the terms and conditions of my employment. They bring me in for an interview, and I end up interviewing them.
Current company is working out well. They raised the shop rate and automatically raised the pay of everyone in the shop. I made sure to thank management for being proactive. Saying please and thank you will get you a lot compared to other attitudes.
My tool box has wheels for a reason. I have no problem moving on to somewhere else that appreciates my talents.
Most employers treat employees as a liability. Find a place that treats employees as an asset instead.

Be your own boss. That way it’s your fault if your boss is a PITA.

I've worked Union and non-union in two different areas. Construction I started as a painter. All I had was a wage and no benefits. I joined the IBEW as an apprentice. I had free medical, a retirement and a competitive wage. When I left construction and went to the airline industry I started non union at Continental. I met my wife about three years in. She was union at Northwest. She made more in wages, had more vacation time, paid holidays and free medical.

After about 20 years, we became union. My pay increases over the next 10 almost doubled my pay to 74k a year when I retired in 2021. Vacation and benefits were increased as well and the company still made billions a year.

I was both a union and non-union electrician. I was in the IBEW for the final year of my 10 year electrical career.


Changed careers and I'm engineering management now with about 12 direct reports. Being a manager sucks

Baby sitting your fellow employees....... Its not as wonderful as it looks when you want to be there

I've seen managers jobs. I don't want them.

I really tried to be a good manager to my employees... Owner would not pay them fairly so they stuck me in the back..... LOL...
RETIRED, NO whiney employees. NO jerk bosses, and NO ass hole customers....... Its a great life

A trade union is advertising for journeymen with at least 5 years experience in mechanical trade fields.
They are offering $40/hr and a bunch of benefits.
So, $80 K a year without overtime, plus benefits?

Steamfitters & Plumbers Local Union 464 - Nebraska & western Iowa

LU 464 represents skilled workers in the mechanical trades protecting the rights of steamfitters and plumbers, industry integrity, and the wages and benefits of all its members.

I do not know how up to date the info on Omaha schools is, but “Dirty Jobs” don’t look so bad as a career option if Junior does not want to get a job that takes 4-6 more years of schooling.

The NEA has some work to do!

I was also a engineering manager with 12 direct reports until recently when I became unhappy with upper management and my manager I did not see eye to eye. I was very good to my employee's and treated them fairly. I am not one to brag or glout but most of my former team members were bummed that I was leaving most said they will be job hunting as they felt I was the only one that had there back. It will be interesting if there is fall out, but life goes on for both employees and companies. I found a non manager job that pays 25% better plus better benefits that is 90% work from home. I start next Monday.

Honestly I only have loyalty to myself and this has made me move my salary/hr rate forward fast.

 

[Mustang5L5]

I’m going to make that same move myself…

I just need to wait for one project to close out due to various incentives.

 

[AvalancheSVT]

my last gig had me painted as the scapegoat. i was a good teammate, stopping issues before they became issues, helping my peers, and when i left the girl who tried to get me fired caved, took time off to find a new job, and the other person i was helping got canned. they were down 6 software developers in 5 months. my old boss got demoted.

you may have to take some lumps but there is a line and if they cross it go elsewhere.

All of the places I have worked for are gone.....
I tried to find work when I was 60 ( wanted to work a few more years) and I had NO references as the places had closed up and the people I knew when I worked there were all dead or retired.... LOL.... It was interesting.....

That’s a scary thought. My recommendation file is seriously out of date. My last boss retired, moved and subbed in a class for my daughter this year. I think the others are still alive, I hope.

I've seen managers jobs. I don't want them.

On my agenda today....

1. Prep for meeting with customer
2. Make sure some of my other engineers are on target with some of their tasks as there is risk of dates slipping
3. Deal with an employee who just doesn't show up to work (misses 2-3 days per week consistently) and yet finds every legal loophole to remain employed. The days he does show up he causes drama with other technicians. I've actually had to mediate "disagreements" between him and others

Next role will be a senior, non-managerial role. #3) above sucks up so much time it's not even funny.

And there is your typical Union employee.....
