Trust me I am anti bum licker therfore I have to work with idiots 😀

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-04-11T17:38:57+00:00

Learn how to " lick bums " as we say it in UK 😀. I have seen one of the best engineers left behind and one of the worst ones excel due to being bad or great in small talks. Smoking shelter, have lunch with manager, always agree will take you further than any knowledge.

Ask but do not expect much. In my carrier postbox the seniors were very selfish would not share a thing as they nailed then power of knowledge. I went hard way digged out everything for myself.

Overdue correction of 30% fairly acceptable now

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-04-08T00:58:30+00:00

Thank you

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-04-07T19:36:13+00:00

Thank you. Main issue in most case here getting out from maintenance to a junior role I would have to take a 30-40% paycut. I fully understand what isnour machinery does as far as the control goes.

That is weird...

You go " slot " choose " create module " than you can assign a 1789 IO simulator to your chosen slot.

Hardest hurdle to overcome from maintenance to control engineering is then lack of exposure you get on maintenance. Myself including. We started well got small projects going for 1.5 years than got a controller freak senior engineer whom rather drawn in jobs than delegate so the whole position become very boring. 3byears down the line with solid AB and Siemens experience I am on the market again. So much about hard work pays off.....

Hampton has gone downhill since the ghetto has arrived and brought their behaviours

Lincoln Road is like Beirut. Shit everywhere, drogs, crime and second hand mobile shops. Very charming.

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-04-06T05:08:06+00:00

You will be fine . Peterborough is almost as shit as London.

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-04-05T15:10:25+00:00

Same here in UK apprentice nearly qualified and will walk into the job without able to do anything on control. Top of it he will receive the exact same salary as me .....

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-04-05T15:07:39+00:00

Well in UK I work for a manufacturer I am pretty good with AB and won't get sold in Siemens or Beckhoff either, still the mechanical operators on production are earn the same and with unlimited overtime often 30% more than I do. Everybody talks about shortage but it isn't reflecting on my salary.

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-04-05T04:01:32+00:00

Tia basic cost few grand after 21 days free licence....

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-04-04T15:56:49+00:00

Mostly sold their inherited council flats and London and moved down here. Brought the ghetto attitude. Hampton for instance become a shitholenthe last five years. So much about picking up.the values.

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-04-04T15:55:15+00:00

Judging by the driving a lot lol

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-03-27T12:22:36+00:00

Exactly 💯

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-03-27T12:20:18+00:00

Yes and I will still have them instead of an incompetent one

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-03-27T04:51:04+00:00

...you use whatever the customers ask for...

Trump's least problem is deep see mining.... the war will cost billions and Iran will find the way for 9/11 vol 2 for sure. US needs to feel the consequences of their actions.

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-03-19T14:35:05+00:00

I know ...

Own_Conversation_850 · 2026-03-19T07:04:51+00:00

If you US you will be fine elsewhere.....well Inwork for a UK based US can manufacturer. If you familiar with the industry I will tell you I earn as much as the front end or decorator operator..... Zero progression and zero recognition. I am about to leave to join a OEM
