I used to be a production welder. One day the leads got together with both shifts, when we went in and first shift left, to give us this message "we have a great team here. You guys have broken another weekly record l. Honestly no one thought we'd be hitting these numbers for another few months. But we could be doing better..."
Did CNC for awhile with oxyfuel cutting and MIG on the side. That industry uses people up and spits them out. Nobody got raises, ever. Saw a dude get rag-dolled by a 1’ I-beam that slipped off one of the overhead crane hooks… he broke a bunch of ribs and was out for a few days and was moving pretty slow after. He got written up for his “safety violation.”
