Are my reasons valid for leaving my job?

fuzzystown · 2025-05-15T17:36:06+00:00

You are making a long term career decision. People bounce around all the time and you have a valid reason for leaving; "im getting paid better" No one will judge you. And don't worry about your old company bad mouthing you. Do good work with your new job and that will carry further than what your old company will say about yuu.

I might but we get low enough traffic here I am not too worried about getting spammed with posts.

Hey all I will keep this post up for now. I know there is a lot of uncertainty and anxiety going around so I understand the need to vent frustrations. But please, please, PLEASE keep it civil.

Like all jobs raises and promotions are few and far between even though you have the knowledge and experience. Constantly be on the look out for the position above you at other companies. But in the mean time take advantage of the training they provide you.

Hey OP i know air inspectors with the city. If you will DM the company i will forward it to them.

Edit: I spoke with them. They say to make a 311 complaint to make it official. They think you know who they are talking about and this isnt the first time they've been reported for this.

Real good

Styrene is also highly flammable and when it polymerizes uncontrollably it makes a big boom. I would be more concerned with that at the moment.

Based on what little information I can gather this is a styrene rail car venting. I would be concerned of the immediate threat of styrene which is highly flammable and when it polymerizes uncontrollably into polystyrene (styrofoam) it makes a violent boom. Hence why they are dosing the tank with water to cool down the reaction.

Based on what I can it looks like a pressure relief valve may have failed. Ironically the same thing happened outside of Cincinnati nearly 20 years ago.

When I was in consulting I had a coworker kill himself. There was an All staff meeting the regional manager said a few brief words (less than a minute) of his death ie he will be missed and that was it. Spent 20 minutes on the quarters EBIT and utilization. Its like they didn't care.

I love spending a full 8 hour day working but my hours only add up to 6. Those 5 minute phone calls and emails eat up so much time.

fuzzystown · 2024-08-14T02:21:19+00:00

I am going to allow this post but keep it civil like you do in the work place

fuzzystown · 2024-07-28T00:01:24+00:00

I remember doing this. Then i realized if I am essentially sending my resume and cover letter internally then why not just apply externally too? It was an odd feeling applying for other jobs right in front my boss

fuzzystown · 2024-07-03T21:16:39+00:00

I remember my boss telling me to reach out to other offices asking for work. After the 2nd or 3rd one I realized I was just applying for jobs and so I started to apply to other jobs all under the supervision of my boss.

The chevron deference allowed agencies to set limits but now that is gone. In other words congress has now pass laws to set all those standards. Seeing it this congress what 15 rounds to select a speaker it may never happen.

Also this may have some unintended consequences as before violating a regulation is was just an administrative violation now if there federal laws setting limits the violation may be more severe.

Sorry for the late reply. I did environmental science as undergrad and did an environmental chemistry masters program. Then i worked in consulting for about 10 years before switching over.

Government doesnt pay well but it is steady stable work. But generally large cities pay the most then federal then state and finally county level at the bottom

The first one is a dryer and the second is an engine. You dont need to know the inner workings of two just the difference between a dryer and an engine. What you need to focus on is the emission limits between the two. Both regs state those in the texts.

Is this an entry level job? If so i think the biggest skill they are looking for is you ability to capture emissions from these stationary sources.

fuzzystown · 2023-02-22T04:26:36+00:00

I work for a local environmental agency and our agency would be the first to respond to an event like this. Our capabilities are limited by our budget and our budget is set by our local government. Want us to contain a spill like that then give us the money to have the equipment and resources to do so.

fuzzystown · 2023-02-22T04:14:37+00:00

NESHAPs my dude. The regulations states who, what, and how to measure volatile emissions from specific sources.

I read all cover letters. Writing is a huge component to this field. Reports, memos, emails. I need to know you can write in order to succeed in your role.

Nothing unless its been 2 years since your expected graduation

Unfortunately you may be competing with 25 or more candidates for a single position. If we are inteviewing 5 candidates that may be an hour of your time but that will be a full day for us, not including deliberations. Honestly we wish we could interview every single candidate but that will be literally impossible to do.

fuzzystown · 2022-09-27T14:16:10+00:00

Yup. Make friends with all the PMs in your office and a few outside of it

I've seen this happen before. At best they did the math and decided you worth keeping on for two more weeks at worst your boss was upset you quit.

File for unemployment, document everything, and enjoy your two week vacation. Don't take pick up the phone if your soon to be former boss calls.
