At least it would stop THAT gene pool.

currently at 1 interview/shop walkthrough(also involved a basic owned-tool checklist, and a pictoral 'name that tool' sheet to make sure i had some technical experience), they had performed a basic background check, then they specifically needed a statement from me stating that i was still interested (got the distinct impression they've been burned by people thinking it was something other than a mechanical/laborer position), to which they said they'd doing a federal background check to make sure i haven't burned down any villages.

next step is getting drug, physical, and agility tests to make sure i'm not on drugs, or physically broken. but they were very specific that if i wasn't interested, they didn't want to start the testing, or the federal background checks because it all costs extra money, (phrasing used indicated they were tired of being burned-- they asked a few different times if i'd be willing to submit to, and could pass a drug test).

they contacted me to set up the testing, so i assume i've passed the federal background check--it wouldn't make sense for them to run that after the physical testing.

they pulled the position on indeed shortly after they contacted me and haven't reposted, so i get the impression they're either optimistic, or have all the candidates they need for the role.

Anyway, I'm interested to hear how this proceeds. Like you said in your earlier post, there's some negative attributes about this gig compared to your current position.

However, at the end of the day, you need to get along with your boss and your coworkers. That pretty much outweighs many other attributes of a job such as the commute, the salary, etc.

Your mental health comes first.

just a quick update

they officially gave me the offer, i set it up to start in about 3 weeks. enough for 2 weeks notice, and a week vacation/decompression before getting into something entirely different.

Nice. Congrats, (sound)man! 98 claps for ya.

[NoHaveMSG]

Congratulations. I am sure you where ready for this new chapter.

[Ultramaroon]

Congrats! Great things come to those who... Fuck that. Gotta go get 'em!

And............the sales guys attached the wrong drawing to an order I built couple weeks ago. Same order they grossy underbid. I figure labor and materials they sold it for about 30% less than what it cost us to build

I thought the GM wanted to make money. Someone needs to tell him he's doing it wrong.

Grats on the new gig! After reading the quoted post about a name that tool sheet, I made an answer key for one.

I don't know what a "hammer" is, but I know a finger detector when I see one.

For a moment this made me think I somehow misspelled hammer 247 times in that image.
