He told me today that he needed to pay himself more inorder to build his social security up so that when he retired he would get more money. Wouldn't bother me as bad if I didn't have a 3 year old son and a 5 year old little girl that depended on their daddy.
i know the feeling , been laid off 6 months now , deisel mechanic in the coal mines , i also have a background in tractor and trailer repair but things are a bust here in west virginia for coal and indusdtries connected with it . i got out of the mines for bout a year and worked for a road construction company as a mechanic and made good money best i ever made , got into the union this way to but went to one of our sites and fixed a hydrualic problem ona cat dozer when i got done it was alittle past noon got a phone call to come back to shop when done so i did , our foreman was standing with our welder looking at a dozer blade he was working on so i walked up to him and said whats up and he was very casul asking how my day was and what not and if i fixed the dozer ,i said yeah and told him what i found and how i fixed it , and he said oh by the way i met your wife n kids the other day at the grocery store your wife was behind me in line and she seen my company shirt with our logo on it and made small talk that her husband worked there , and he said well lets run inside to the office real quick , walked in and he handed me my check and said where letting ya go , we feel we need to head in another direction with our employees , so i asked after you set there and tell me bout my wife in kids you kick me right in the face basically ? he responded by saying well i guess iam goona have to call the law to remove you from the building since your goona get disgruntle ? it wouldnt have bothered me if my wife and kids werent mentioned ! companys care less about you anymore ! your just an employee number . hang in there doors will open , seems like you hit the low before the high , what iam running into is ive interviewed for jobs thats alot less pay and they wont hire me cuase i made alot more they say well your not gonna be happy here , and all this b.s. even though i can do the job in my sleep ! hang in there bud i worked a job 6 years and they where private owned equipment dealership they came in and said we had to take a pay cut cause the owners werent making enough money , they had 21 mechanics at our location now they have 6 last i checked so hopefully the owners are able to buy bologna and bread now !!!! good luck man .........
