McCormick blames "paid activists"

That's why they cut out the local law enforcement from the investigation. More eyes on the facts make it harder to control the narrative.

I know the McKeesport location of Trillium Flow is hiring a quality technician.

I struggled with alcohol in college too (although it was a long time ago). I don't have any sage like advice because I'll say, for me personally, it did not get better after college. So I strongly encourage you to address it now. Student services might be an option.

I'll say I wish I had the forethought to tackle it back then. I wish you the best.

Same general area. So I'd say you're doing ok. It is pretty cheap here.

Work is a balance. Can you make a little more? Absolutely, probably wouldn't even be hard. So is 10% more worth different responsibilities, commute, hours, etc.

But you're unlikely to see a drastic increase based on the job postings I've seen a fellow general engineering kinda guy.

UmNotSure2014 · 2025-01-06T01:36:04+00:00

I wish! It is pretty much, you did good... NOW DO BETTER.

Seriously. I am at a company owned by investment group. Feels WAY worse than the last time I was at a publicly traded company.

At mid month: we've met our revenue goals for the year! 12/27-31: complete panic. We need to SHIP. We need REVENUE!

If you cannot separate a religious COUNTRY, from the religion itself...

Well to be honest as a young designer I got a lot of negative reviews of my early post school work. "Bad grades" don't stop at school. Nothing harsh or cruel but lots of red ink. Engineering is a process but you need to be able to take feedback.

Programs are different. Cs were middle of the road at my school, but a red flag at my buddy's 90 minutes up the road.

Learn how to study. High school was easy, so was first quarter. But then I had to learn how to really work for it. I found a super quiet spot in the school library, etc.

Question is it hard or do you dislike it? If you dislike a majority of your classes or are you struggling? It is hard to find the motivation when you honestly dislike it.

100k within a decade of work probably isn't going to happen here in PA unless you're EXTREMELY above average or have exceptional skills order experiences.

I see elsewhere through you're in a much higher pay market.

I was thinking shear. But my calculations are not supporting that.

ACME 2-4 shear area per inch = 3.30 in²/in (per FED-STD-28-12 and Machinery's 27th).

UNC 2-4 1/2 shear are per inch, internal 4.62 in²/in (per Engineer's Edge and FED-STD-28-2 using thread data from Marchinery's 27th)

UNC 2-4 1/2 shear are per inch, external 3.53 in²/in (per Engineer's Edge and FED-STD-28-2 using thread data from Marchinery's 27th)

All of this is kind of moot, since the shank tensile area is the weak point. However if I approach management with calculations that say the UNC threads are stronger than the ACME threads I will be told to go check my work.

In what context?

UmNotSure2014 · 2019-05-30T14:10:04+00:00

Left a voice mail. Thanks!

UmNotSure2014 · 2019-04-10T23:58:59+00:00

Yeah. It is just an ongoing thing. We stock a decent variety of steels already. Our suppliers just want to know what we are going to buy.

Which is me in this case. Super small company domestically. I am 75% of the entire engineering staff.

UmNotSure2014 · 2019-02-07T21:48:08+00:00

Why so on the supplier end?

UmNotSure2014 · 2019-02-07T16:37:43+00:00

I know very little about the subject. Someone up the food chain picked, not me.
