I work production. A recruiter contacted me and I responded, but they never followed up. The position was specialized enough that I found it on indeed and applied directly. I had a great interview and they offered me the position at above my current rate to start with a significant raise after 30 days. Little to no overtime and consistent work, great hours. Also their machines were in beautiful condition.
I put in my two weeks yesterday and my supervisor was surprised pikachu face asking what they could do to get me to stay. I didn’t really respond because the answer is nothing.
They’ve had us on like 60+ hrs/wk since December. Gave me an excellent review in February with an $0.80 raise. Besides which it’s just a pretty stressful work environment, driving hours of productivity above anything else. I don’t see that changing.
They’ve lost 2 managers, a programmer, a quality supervisor, and a couple people on the floor in the last few months.
Today the plant manager came to talk to me asking if I’d thought about my career path or “really weighed my options” given the benefits at my current job. Obviously I have or I wouldn’t have given them the two weeks notice. The biggest benefit to consider being my mental health. I had 3 days off in February.
Honestly.
