    Default work

    in this thread we talk about our jobs, or rant about how our job searches are getting us nowhere.

    i'm employed by a temp agency called Manpower that contracts out to factories in the bay area. i ended up at an S.C. Johnson plant, where i put Ziploc bags into the dispensers you see on grocery store shelves, and a few other odd jobs. 12 hour shifts and i get plenty of overtime, normally working 60-80 hour weeks. i get minimum wage ($8.50 in Michigan) and earn time and a half after 40 hours in a week, which works out to about $13 an hour. best job i've ever had, i love it to death. also when my contract is up they might stick me in another factory where i'd be quality checking car parts.

    Wow, you are a hard worker

    I'm still a student, so you know how it is
    I'm planning to put my computer technician certifications into use & apply for a job in some call center but I'm still thinking since its a night shift & I might have problems managing my time, so yeah that's it.

    side question if you dont mind: would you consider a job with a good paycheck despite your life being in danger performing that particular job?

    well i already work at a place where i can get fkin killed in like 2 seconds. between the constant blind corners that fork truck drivers take and the heavy machinery that could suck me in, chew me up and spit me out, i'd say i already work at a pretty dangerous place.

    It must be very stressful, I can imagine the horror of not knowing what might get you at anytime from any corner, I would reconsider returning to such a place, but I guess a person can get used to it by time

    sadly, common workers are overlooked & I believe they deserve more attention, respects man.

    yeah the techs (actual S.C. Johnson employees) around here can be either cool with us or treat us like crap. it really just depends on what building you're in and what shift you're on. but thanks for the encouragement though.

    Currently I'm a contracted hire working at Boeing South Carolina, I install the wires into the mid-body assemblies of the 787's built here in Charleston. I've already had an interview for a direct position at Boeing for the same job, but that's apparently on hold, atm. With that, I'm also currently applying to Airbus in Mobile for the same job, just in Final Assembly. Gonna miss the pay, but gonna love the benefits more...

    Currently stationed at Malaysia Airlines Maintenance. As of right now I'm working on Airbus A330-200. It's a pretty chill job most of the time but when you have to follow the deadline, it's damn tiring.

    Also I hate paperwork. That's the only downside of my job I guess.

    I rarely post, yo.

    A fellow Aircraft Mechanic? (Currently electrical installer, but former Aircraft Mechanic/Electrician). So cool! Do you work with A330's solely?

    yeah there's a lot of that going on here too. people trying to get a better paying version of their own job, i mean. you start out as a level 2 here, you get promoted to level 3 after a while (i'm still level 2 because of a shoulder injury) and level 3's have a chance of getting hired into S.C.J. directly. i don't want to do that, i'm just fine being a level 2.

    We need to hook up and talk planes sometime, brah. Most of my experience is with military (C-17 and C-5) and I've been building 787's for a year and a half almost. I deal mostly with electrical and environmental systems, but I do have an A&P license. ^.^

    I feel ya, the only way to go up here is to get hired in and then maybe get in to a level C (your level 3) process after a year or so. Still, I'd rather just have PTO's...

    Initially 6 months - 1 year depending on my work manager. For me it was 6 months for the original and 2 extensions, this last one they extended me a year.

    oh so you must be doing a bang-up job if they extended you that long. with my contract there's no chance of extending it, but when i time out here i'll be getting hired in at Euclid Industries, which is a permanent job. very nice pay raise too, from $8.50 to $12 an hour, plus benefits. pretty sweet gig and i plan on riding it through til the end.

    That's pretty sweet that you've already got things set up for once it expires. Good luck with it.

    I currenty work the midnight shift as a welder fitter. My official job tititle is Welder 4 (welding positions range from Welder 5 up to Welder 1) and involves me fitting up large air silencing units and then welding them toghter. These air silencing units range from a couple hundred pounds up to 5 metric tones and are used to silence ventilation systems in office buildings, hospitals, mine sites, ect. I have been working at this company for about 9 months now and am working towards the Welder 3 position witch I should make provided I pass my 5 upcoming CWB welding tests. Minimum wage in my province is $10.50 but I am fortunate enough to earn $22.60 an hour plus a $0.75 hourly premium for working the midnight shift (12:00am-8:00am)

    Oh yeah. I've worked jobs like that my whole life. Us "Skilled laborers" pretty much exchange our health and well being for money.

    side question if you dont mind: would you consider a job with a good paycheck despite your life being in danger performing that particular job?
    Well if the job doesn't try to kill you, it probably doesn't pay much. lol Even though that adage is false, it still lingers on. Of course, if the job doesn't try to kill you, the bosses might. As the case with many a IT job, having to be on call, or work long hours even though there's no potential risk. Still, as nice as it would be to have a nice cushy job that I didn't have to worry about slipping and killing myself; I can't imagine having the patience to deal with it and stay for long. I'm a very hands on kind of person, even if it's my hands keeping me from falling off of 1/4" aluminum bracketing.

    I totally get you bro, I agree that office work is not as pleasing as getting your hands on the machines or whatever, & that there is always negatives in everything, but sometimes we have to do what we have to do

    Good luck with everything

    Family for one. lol But really just a direct position. Don't get me wrong, Contract work is good but just not for me. I love the pay, but benefits suck; even with my contract house which treats me pretty well and has a better benefits package than most. My current work has me hoping and waiting for the potential of the hiring process to open back up and me to get a direct job, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.
