Default Upper Managment Blunders

Well life is in for a large change. Due to upper Managment and ownership not being smart I am out of a job. Last week the company I worked for was placed under receivership. 200 + people out of jobs. Middle Managment and lower were not told anything of the top brass blunders until it was game over. I am going to come out of it all just fine but it does suck to loose access to all the great fabrication toys I had in the shop I was managing. Going to slow down some of my builds. I have lots of work options but am likely gona take a few weeks to consider my options.

Life is always fun!!!

Hey that does suck, but sometimes it can be a good thing it forces you to find something new and with some luck maybe you will find a better job. Good luck

Well you're in a good area, no shortage of oil activity where you live... but yeah, I hear ya, you get a little older & you get use to a comfort zone that's a shock to loose suddenly.

Post up what you move on to.

Sorry to hear that, but as the others said, it may very well be an opportunity for something better, and something you'll enjoy more. I like your positive attitude!

Well the receiver can not find a truck driver. I got the call as I have kept up my licence. Offered me 12% over my managing wage. It's a few days running winch truck and deck. May as we'll take it while I wait for the next job to start up.

So after a few weeks working for the Riecever I start work Monday at my new home. Going to get out of managing and hit the floor again. I will be doing truck repair welding and small to medium projects for Dart Services here in Estevan. They run a fleet of concrete pumper trucks and do piling work as well. Lots of new toys to work on, and I will get to jump into trucks at times for a change. Dart has 2 pumpers with 175 foot booms. Long reach. In summary I am going to be a shop puts around guy doing basic truck repair and welding. Sounds relaxing.........lol
