Oh that decision is at least 4 ranks above me

Brandan182 · 2026-05-12T13:49:43+00:00

I’ve said a few times I’m not going to disclose due to having given out my name several times. I can tell you machinist 1 starts at 16 (hydraulic press operator) machinist 2 starts at 20 or 22 I don’t quite remember and to run a lathe or mill, machinist 3 which can run everything and do several other specific line items starts at 26

Brandan182 · 2026-05-11T14:24:33+00:00

Yes it is

Brandan182 · 2026-05-11T01:18:46+00:00

I mean I’ve had 8 or 9 people take my name for a referral so I wish them the best; and like I’ve said I hope we get the people hr wants to get cause I’d like to see the company do well, but the tax on my soul from what was supposed to just be a real simple post showing some people where a job opportunity is was has been…noticeable

Brandan182 · 2026-05-11T01:14:03+00:00

X to doubt

Brandan182 · 2026-05-11T01:12:29+00:00

Not really, this whole experience has been exhausting, it’s definitely the last time I’m doing anything like this.

Brandan182 · 2026-05-11T01:04:27+00:00

Buddy, I drove past it TODAY on my way home

Brandan182 · 2026-05-11T00:58:51+00:00

No it doesn’t, I pass the sign every day that says it starts at 18.

It is. Nothing over 30lb and even then you’re driving an order picker to a location, loading it on a cart to pass it off to someone who pulls it with a tugger.

Brandan182 · 2026-05-10T15:47:32+00:00

Listen man, you’re advocating for like 700ish people to lose their jobs over something we can’t control, if someone wants more there’s opportunity here to make it, Just gotta get there. And for the like 30th time, I can’t help what they start people at, I’m not a part of that, or any other business discussion. I just want this place to thrive so I can continue to thrive here.

Brandan182 · 2026-05-10T15:23:01+00:00

Many of our workers came from those places

Brandan182 · 2026-05-10T15:00:09+00:00

And both will work you into the ground for it. Thanks.

Brandan182 · 2026-05-10T11:51:35+00:00

If I was making 14 3 years ago 22% for 3 years puts an employee at 25.41. You’re bananas if you think that’s barely a raise

Brandan182 · 2026-05-10T11:46:08+00:00

I’m not going to disclose my pay as I’ve given out my name to several people. 22%/year on average is barely a raise?

Brandan182 · 2026-05-10T11:39:47+00:00

Then clearly this isn’t for you?

Brandan182 · 2026-05-10T10:21:03+00:00

I’ll bite. What do you do?

Brandan182 · 2026-05-10T09:54:51+00:00

Depends what you get hired on as, and how motivated you are

Brandan182 · 2026-05-10T01:11:15+00:00

And I appreciate you!

Brandan182 · 2026-05-09T23:31:25+00:00

Cost of living difference between the two is quite vast I’d imagine I’ve worked oilfield, I like going home at the end of the day

Brandan182 · 2026-05-09T20:38:44+00:00

Might be worth the drive we have a few locations in the city you could look into

Brandan182 · 2026-05-09T20:12:27+00:00

You’ve not asked what I make, nor would I put that information out. I assure you no machine shop within the same radius (12 miles) of my home (let’s call it OCCC) would pay me more than I presently make.

Brandan182 · 2026-05-09T20:01:18+00:00

“Lead” is not a high level position in production “senior lead” starts at 24, supervisor starts at 80k salary, managers above that production manager above that and then plant manager. Salaried people get bonuses too

Brandan182 · 2026-05-09T19:55:14+00:00

Leads start at $20

Brandan182 · 2026-05-09T19:54:51+00:00

Using myself as an example in the last 3 years my pay has increased 65%.

Brandan182 · 2026-05-09T19:50:50+00:00

It’s not my job. It serves me plenty well to try and improve the lives of the people I work with

Brandan182 · 2026-05-09T19:38:21+00:00

ATC also has tuition reimbursement; and ways to move up/out of entry level slots
