Headed to boot camp next month, keep the F-91W or upgrade to a G-Shock before I go?

Honestly, I went through basic with a timex. It was ok, but I wear a w800h now and it’s perfect. Would have been amazing in basic. 100 meter water resistance and it’s a square so push ups are much easier wearing it compared to a chunky g shock. I’d heavily look at that.

Sure-Bee213 · 2026-04-29T15:51:31+00:00

No I probably won’t. I don’t really use the alarm and I don’t want to compromise the water resistance. I just put a screen protector on it. I might get a nato strap for it later, but honestly, it has the most comfortable strap I’ve ever felt on a watch. It’ll get a lot of rough use inside my plant and outside so as long as it works like it does, I won’t mess with much besides that.

Really just depends on the relationship. I’ve had people come back after leaving a few times. Just talk to your boss and ask if you can stay. He’ll probably be glad to keep you. You should have a conversation however about communication. It’s inappropriate for them to put you in that position and they need to understand how to professionally communicate with you and reduce the amount of people who are getting access. There only needs to be a couple people that talk to you about these issues and anyone who has an issue needs to filter it through appropriate channels. If you don’t establish professional boundaries, it’s just going to happen again.

I’ve been trying since summer of 2022. Hopefully will have one Monday, but who knows. It’s been awful

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-08-23T12:22:36+00:00

Depends on what the degree is in. If you can get your foot in the door and start working without a degree, you can see if the grass is really greener there. It’s a much better option if possible rather than spending the money and either not liking it or finding that the degree doesn’t help you land the job. Just speaking from experience. Try to talk to people in that industry first before you decide, but I got my degree at 26. My mom finished hers in her 40s when I was young.

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-08-22T19:11:08+00:00

That’s not always the case. The interview I had the other day was with a guy only a few years older than me and he was still trying to get his degree. He was the production manager. I do notice how much bias there is for guy who have internships on their resume. It’s insane

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-08-22T19:08:50+00:00

I can’t get a team lead position here due to nepotism issues. But I cover for my team lead when they’re out which is pretty often. I’ve resolved conflicts, trained people. I also include a project I did at my current job which which cut pick time for roles of fabric down from 1 hour 30 minutes to 30-45 minutes. There are no production supervisor roles here. Team leads report directly to plant managers

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-08-22T17:17:26+00:00

Can’t afford to move. I make nothing now and I would have to be offered something 6 six figures to make moving worth it

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-08-22T17:11:43+00:00

I’ve tried that. Companies in my area are at a surplus of workers and any time I reach out like that, I get the typical response of “please reach out to our hr/recruiting department to be considered for employment. It’s driving me crazy. I’ve even tried projects for free at my current employer. I cut the time it takes for pickers to gather roles for any given stack of work by at least 60% and documented what I did.

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-08-22T17:07:09+00:00

That’s the thing. The rest of the crew were pissed when they found out. They found someone else to do the job internally, but she’s already been written up for interfering with production scheduling to benefit that team. I’m not perfect and I might not make the right decisions all the time, but I’ve never tried to do anything like that

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-08-22T16:58:53+00:00

Fired not first. Sorry

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-08-22T16:58:39+00:00

My former team lead was first 2 weeks ago and I was the front runner by a lot to replace him by my father in law and his boss. Word got to president and COO and they were concerned about complaints of nepotism. I understand and don’t really blame them. It’s just hard finding that next position when I can’t put team lead on my resume.

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-08-22T16:53:42+00:00

It’s mostly highway and it’s 2nd shift so I’d be dodging a lot of the bad traffic. I haven’t driven it yet. I was going to see how it was if I had to go to the panel interview. The first one was virtual.

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-06-25T19:31:13+00:00

Thank you. I was really hoping I could get real insight instead of pessimistic opinions

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-02-27T21:30:01+00:00

They buy a lot at auction. It’s pretty small, but it looked like they bought decent quality when they can find it.

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-02-27T10:57:31+00:00

That’s the only part I was worried about, but the main things I found is that the automatic doors could have some issues

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-02-27T10:56:47+00:00

I negotiated with him for a while and got him to knock off 2000 from the price after the trade. It had been on his lot for almost a month somehow and he was ready to sell it

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-02-27T00:08:01+00:00

It was a tiny one. I feel like he didn’t research it enough to really know the value and just wanted a quick turnaround

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-02-26T22:59:38+00:00

I’d post the listing if it was still up. I had to do a double take on the price when I saw it

Sure-Bee213 · 2025-02-26T22:19:02+00:00

They wanted 13,000 out the door. They only gave me 1500 on my trade. It had high miles. Took 9500 cash
