Time served doesn't automatically equal more pay dude. That entire concept is some bullshit the liberals came up with. And it's completely fucking wrong. Join a union if you want your pay based on arbitrary bullshit instead of merit. Grats on your salary tho. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So I've read this thread and I have no idea what a "Project Manager" is or does.  It's an interesting position, in that most people that need to be completing tasks for your project don't usually report to you. So it takes some finesse. The idea is that the project manager keeps all the team members on task to drive toward a goal, and it really doesn't matter what the project is supposed to produce (a new blender, or a new computer program) those same tools can be used to keep a team on track. |

I don't know their names but I've spent enough years in a shop environment to know cutting up with the young kid doesn't equal them not talking shit the moment you walk back in the AC. Which was a brag. Like being assigned to a job in an AC area somehow makes you smarter or better. I've worked in plenty of shops and have seen the same thing all over. You work in a manufacturing facility in the rust belt. I wouldn't count on making 30 years. Call it a hunch. As for enjoying working I work for myself now which means I have an asshole for a boss. Its good you are successful at your job but some free advice from a guy who was in your same spot twenty years ago: Manage your money, don't buy stupid shit, get as much education/certifications as you can on the company dime and be ready when the hammer falls. History says it will. Good luck. Eta: do you think I can't be friends with the older guys simply because I am younger? Do you think I am lazy and can't do manual jobs because of my birth date? Trying to figure out where you're coming from here? |

ERs are full of old people that can't be fixed the doctors want to leave in peace, But the families and nursing homes keep sending and bringing them in. You think a neurosurgeon actually wants to take an 89 year old demented patient on blood thinners to the OR? Nope. It's the families wanting everything done. |

Seeing as the average tenure here is "life" and the shop has been around for almost 150 years I think I have a good chance. I am in AC because of my education and my certificates. Doesn't mean I am smarter just I have more education. You got it all wrong my friend. We talk shit to each other's faces. This isn't a hospital or call center with a bunch of drama. We work well together, we get along and learn from each other. I have worked good and bad jobs in the past. But now I am one of the few who enjoys being at work.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I made good money also before I retired...........I never felt it funny that people were making far less than I was at work. Why is that funny to you? What another person earns is their business. What I earn is my business. So long as they are not actively taking money out of my pocket, what do I care? People focus so much on other people and what they earn or what they have. Perhaps people should focus more on themselves?

He made poor choices and although he had/has a rich wife (a Dominican who's family owns a gem mine) he gets no money from her and they no longer live in the same house. Anyway, I took a few days off this week and I told him I was pretending I was retired. He asked me what I planned to do when I retire. I don't think we use the term in the same way.

coming into a job and making more than people who've been there for like 10-20 years lmaooo muh loyalty That's not really a millennial thing OP. People have been riding that train for decades. It's all a matter of priorities. When you are young, it is all about the money and perceived "respect" (because you are making good money). Later on, other things become important (vacation, friends, family, security, etc). I agree, though. Far too many people show loyalty to a business that really doesn't have much loyalty to them. |

I'm not sure millennials will miss pensions. With a 401k (or equivalent) or IRA, it's my money and I can invest it according to my own risk profile and retirement timeline. I don't have to worry about the company or pension fund going bankrupt, the PBGC being underfunded, or the pension being modified detrimentally post-retirement. Personally, I'll take a decent 401k match with low ER investment options over a pension any day of the week. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Here is a word millennial's will never know. Pension............. It makes a nice 5k addition per month to the nest egg. Personally, I'll take a decent 401k match with low ER investment options over a pension any day of the week. couple decades of that, [not all at a 6% match though] plus the pension, that works pretty well with my other retirement junk. Don't know if I will cash out the entire pension, do a 50% cash out or just draw the full amount til I croak. That depends on my health at retirement, I have to live past 83 to do better on the pension then the cash out but the cash out means if I die, my heir will get the cash out amount minus anything spent. |
