Ive been a machine operator and/or in fabrication work for 10 years. Im relatively knowledgable about most operations involved with any type of large industrial fabrication shop. From hvac/grease duct welding, to structural beam fabrication. I can read prints, and layouts. I can operate and write mazak cnc code. I was promised between .50 to 1.50 pay raise when 60 day evaluation was completed. I was given a .45 cent raise when i had been running 3 shifts worth of parts every shift. So much that i had skipped breaks and missed parts of lunch. When i asked wtf i was told that id need at least a year to get the .50 to 1.50 raise. I cant quit i have three kids and a loving wife. Also a child that i am paying support for and imsurange went up $25 a week which i am also required to keep for the son im paying child support to. I have to work nearly 70 hours a week to have a $695 check. I cant afford the time to get to other job interviews because my shift start at 3:30 and i get off around 2-3 in the morning. I make hydraulic cylinder shells. And am located in nc. I just cant do this much longer.
