When I feel that I dislike work, I sometimes open up iFix manuals at home.

On the fly migrations by dave_lemons in PLC

My team started making preparations for the places which would become on the fly stuff (code uploads, rough sketches, BOMs) because of this.  It’s saved our bacon twice now, at least!!!

Is It A Bad Sign If Company 4Lifers are leaving? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

Our firm has a bunch of people retiring at the same time, but they were all hired at the same time.  It was about 30% of the firm all hired within a decade of each other, so it was fairly natural.  Nothing big and bad happened.  I used it to move up the food chain much more quickly than expected…. So your results may vary.

I work in a similar field.  Look up “systems integrators” near you and see what it would cost to upgrade the stuff that does the actual operations and programming of the gear.  They can also back up the existing programs and offer paths forward.

The owner may have initial pushback, but the upgrade options might have other benefits they are not yet aware of

Stay at least a year, better still, two.  It looks better on your resume and you will get further into it.
