As the title says, I have been in a new line of work, (industrial maintenance), for about 2.5yrs. I have been training new employees and Temps, but I have heard from those Temps as far as their pay goes, they are making more money than I. Is this a common practice? I also applied for a mechanical engineering position at my company and was not promoted. BUT they needed someone who is good with the equipment to train the new engineer, and guess who that was? Yeah me. I want to leave, but I really like my coworkers and the working conditions are very poor, and I would feel very guilty for leaving since I am the one who makes the place as safe as I can. I know where all the bodies are buried as far as safety goes and our Safety Coordinator/ Accountant (go figure) is completely incompetent and is a “yes man” for management. Any advice? My background was 20+ years in Automotive as an ASE Master Certified Technician until a work injury took me out of my career.
Like I said, I want to quit but every day is another train wreck that I can't stop watching.
