Hey so a thought just occurred to me, and this is something that may be seen as “digging” or whatever so if I'm out of line, let me know. When filling out applications, I always strike out with the “references” part because a lot of the companies I worked for are a) no longer around b) old bosses got sacked or moved jobs c ) the old bosses will give a bad recommendation due to personal issues d) Burnt bridges due to hostile work environment from other coworkers And I realized something: I can't help anyone financially because I can't really afford to feed and clothe myself reliably.

That includes: -Track KPIs -Maintain budget -Keep machines running Here’s the caveat to that: tracking the KPIs is just me inputting hours into an excel sheet, if an employee falls under certain % speak with his corresponding maintenance supervisor and they’ll coach them. Maintaining the budget is just seeing what parts were ordered and inputting that number into a spreadsheet and attending zoom meetings (2 per month) to discuss The mechanics keep the machines running, I sign parts requests left on my desk and turn them into the…
