[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1315073, member: 9096"] CB, you are right, there's a lot of people out there who just go about the day to day work, punch in and punch out... I wouldn't consider them particularly valuable. At the company I worked at, I was part of a core group of people.. there were about 5 of us that knew the ins and outs of every part of every machine, and had well-rounded skills.. I could program, machine, weld, draft, design, assemble, and MOST importantly, I was creative and was able to troubleshoot effectively (many people can't troubleshoot without a chart telling them everything). Finally the company realized this core group of people was valuable when I expressed my dissatisfaction (and I was looking for another job), and 2 other experienced guys DID quite and find other work. I can respect someone who has a family and doesn't want to do the 80 hour weeks the traveling service techs had to do on a regular basis, but someone who won't stay a minute past quitting time usually isn't that dedicated to the job either. A couple months after I quit and came back to the farm the company got sold.. I don't know how much I would have enjoyed working there after that.. [/QUOTE]
