Quick update on my life, then we can get back to bitching about management.
The wife is doing great now. The infection was very likely due to intestinal bacteria getting into the surgery site, which while still rare is a much more common route than stuff like staph infections in a stomach bypass. She has to have a wound vac in for at least 1 more week, possibly 2, and that depends on how her healing is progressing. She's already lost 20 lbs since the surgery just under a month ago.
The new engineering manager started last week, so I am taking a couple of vacation days this week on top of Monday being our Juneteenth day. I feel like I shouldn't since I'm juggling a lot of things at work, but I also recognize that I need some mental health days.
It appears that my wife and I are past the worst of our problems. Hopefully I'm not wrong this time.
No funny picture theme this time, because apparently when searching for "funny wet cat pictures" there are only 20 such pictures on the entire internet and they are each hosted a billion times.

No symptoms yet, at least (but also wtf).
That shit is aggravating as hell
At my first job, I accidentally did a thing that caused our servers to refresh their cache in the middle of the day. Picture a person tripping and dropping the armload of full file folders they were carrying, basically
Probably the same reason my coworker will not pick up the phone, even on his direct line, until the second time someone is calling and only on the last ring: Because they want someone else to do it.
I'm waiting for the day when he doesn't pick up a call in transferring to him, the person calls me back, and I tell them "He's right here, just refusing to answer his phone" as I look him dead in the eyes ten feet away.
Luckily the trailer didn't slide all the way off and hit the ground, and it was just a couple minutes with the outriggers to get it lifted back up and reconnected.

They were originally going to eliminate the position, but realized the department is too big to not have a manager and just have the team leads report to a director.

Oh yeah caching is one of those things that as an individual user you basically never have to think about, like even if you know what it is it's like, okay so what's the big deal?
But once you start learning about and dealing with server-side caching, the idea of a server emptying and refreshing all of its caches at once...it hurts.
I dunno, if they were so enthusiastic about you earlier and then suddenly came back with "no longer hiring", I would be more prone to think they got put on a hiring freeze and now the team who desperately needs someone in that role just has to muddle along short handed.
Yeah that would make sense. Probably also pretty shitty for the recruiter, just felt very annoying to have a job handed to me and then woop too slow.
Better than a person I know of who got to the technical interview and was told at the top "Oh uhhh we are definitely not hiring for this one anymore. Sorry. Do you want to keep going?"

*hugs* Job hunting sucks and can be a real hit to your esteem at times.
Downside of state work: having to write a custom 1-2 page self-report for every single job application submitted and none of it can be reused because the questions are different for each listing.

I'm in the wrong corner of the country but I'm real curious what the prerequisites are other than experience in the visual inspection of aerospace is?
You should apply and waste their time.
Edit: never mind on the second part.
I would strongly recommend you apply with Securitas national call centers, vivant remote guarding, and xfinity. I have worked with these groups through my job, at least one of them are operating WFH and you are definately more than capable.

I've had many years at Securitas and if you can pass a screen, that is literally the only barrier to entry there. If you just need something asap, it works.
I have worked myself to exhaustion so much is why I posted I was tired so tired in the moods thread
This weekend was ugly as I said
THe freezers are old and abused and breaking down all the time anymore. Last night was easy but did they run it like an easy night lets do this? No! Most people had 2 hours of work but by lunch they were still struggling with the freight. They had volunteered someone to stock all the ice cream they pulled and that person never worked ice cream or frozen before
As team lead who set grocery up was having kittens about the progress of everything at 4am
I had to help do the pulled ice cream and then bread then today's ice cream in less than 90 minutes then I had to bin every thing before 7 [I did}
It just bothers me there is no accountability among the managers and they have no leadership skills. I have tried to do the old thing of being a SGT with a shit LT and I have noticed when i do they magically try to correct the course back to what it was
That is legitimately it. If you can pass a mouth swab, they WILL have a job for you. As for if that is worth it, we'll, that's kinda up to you.
You cannot fix everything that is wrong there, and you will destroy yourself trying. Please stop.
I know I gave up on that ideal after the messy Friday.
I don't make $20 a hour and I know I am killing myself. It was bad there before but I really do not understand why it is so bad now. Can they not see it? or is it some other thing in the ivory tower of managers? {there is a gulf between management and everyone else now
The two new team leads just suck both were hand picked by the other team lead [thus violating the hiring process at work} As they seem lost and I know no one respects them as leaders at work
Yeah that sounds extremely basic, so I'm curious about the additional requirements.
I'd recommend looking to see what veteran job services are in the area (and see if there's a Student Veterans Association branch at the nearest college) and contacting them if you haven't already.
I'm in SC so Georgia is not that far off but I have no desire to go to Georgia so I'm only really asking out of curiosity: what are the other requirements? I've never worked in aerospace manufacturing but I've been eyeing that field as a possible step up from the production field I'm in.
20 an hour is more than I have ever been paid at any job I have ever had.

Just bear in mind that UPS is all corporate and union, and FedEx is all franchise and not.

i'll do it again
They don't care about you or your co-workers as human beings. They do not care about how bad things are for people working the floor, as long as the numbers in their spreadsheets look good, because that's all your bosses' bosses care about. You're just another number to them, one that makes the numbers look good
It took me way too long working retail to realize that my hard work was never going to result in getting promoted or compensated for going the extra mile, because someone above me was getting all the rewards for my hard work. I was fortunate enough to have a support network of friends and family that allowed me to quit and go back to community college while looking for better employment, but still I had wasted far too many years at a dead-end place when I could have been working someone else that, at the very least, was better compensating me.

what did you do
I'm out sick today but I'll pull the posting once I have my work pc again. There are a bunch of manufacturing positions open as well, we're staffing way up lately. Is Asheville, NC closer to you? New plant being built up thereabouts.
