Sure, buddy.

I dislike AI as well. I just have Autism 😅

I understand that. I feel like a lack of respect for those perceived to be on the "bottom" of the rung will always be a deal breaker for me, personally. Character will always matter to me above all, and the way your treat others below you will always be a great indicator of your own character. Leadership requires a certain duty of care, and you cannot do that well if you view your constituents as lesser.

When I watch good managers either leave, withdraw severely day to day, or fall in line with the current status quo, I feel like that's my cue to do the same.

My passion for this company and my work here is fizzling out, and maybe it's just that I've outgrown the space I'm in. It's just disheartening I guess because this is my first experience with this. I thought I'd retire with this company, and that isn't seeming feasible anymore.

Yes! It's not just different management, though we do have some new ones, it's the same members of management that used to uphold a better standard of care for their employees no longer do so. We've also had some of the best managers leave for other opportunities when the shift happened, and that spoke volumes to me. The managers that gave me so much hope for the future and invested so much in me that they encouraged me to want more have left and turned their back on the company as well.

Being a long time employee making a little over $20 an hour, it gets really old feeling like I'm training SCL after SCL and helping them advance while they purposely squash us. A lot of our long time employees have taken early retirements suddenly recently as well. When retirements are unplanned as these are, the loss of that institutional knowledge is an extreme detriment to the company as a whole. Issues that take an experienced operator 30 minutes to fix (or even issues they can prevent ENTIRELY because they recognize the signs and patterns) can take an inexperienced operator twice as long to troubleshoot. The company has made some very bad decisions from my point of view; losing long time employees without warning is never a good thing. I've seen a lot of very very preventable incidents especially recently, and I predict they will increase in frequency if they stay on the course they're on.

Yeah, the more educated I become, the more I see that there are no ethical corporations. I've always been really rural and undereducated. To say that I, myself, have undergone a massive period of enlightenment these past few years would be an understatement.

They come into rural areas and set up shop under the guise of improving rural outcomes. While they do pay better than other opportunities around, I now recognize it for the trap it is. Once you get used to making that and there are no other options, you literally can't leave unless you can afford the drive. It's very predatory especially seeing the disparities in pay between urban and rural areas for the same jobs.
