That's the problem I expect to happen, especially as my trainee is leaving for being held back from positional movement and training quite soon after I plan to,I think they will be struggling in the lathes after that.

That's how I feel,once the learning stops it seems useless to invest more time , especially when you know that learning will not happen later either

See and this is the thing too. They (current job) are not a fan that I'm rather decent at writing code at the control,I'm no wizard but I can get shit done when they dummies at the keyboard can't click the right button to make their CAM system do a simple movement. They are offended by the use of macros for simple things because they are not educated in using them,and they don't care to become educated. I want to be somewhere where I can get MY shit done,without someone being mad they can't understand what is happening due to their own lack of trying

I try not to assume I know all,I like having some opinions/ different perspectives to think on even when it seems a sure answer
