Jan will be sad

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Most of you know that I have worked in a Mopar restoration shop for more that 20 years now. Things were not going well for me. So, after beating along for way too long and hoping for better things, I turned in my notice the first week of August. He let me go immediately. I had a job waiting fortunately. So I have made a transition to standard auto mechanic. Way different mindset needed but am getting use to it. Just thought I would let you guys know.


Cheers;
Brooks

Does that mean no more K cars?

I hope it was a good move for you. There is nothing worse than being in a job or relationship that makes you miserable. Hope its everything you need!

A bad job is a death sentence. Good for you.

It was hard leaving fore I really liked the work. Just was not getting paid for it and the hours were dropping. Had to do something. Working for a friend now. Not sure if I will stay there long, but if it works out, I will.

[Wurger]

Can only echo all the above posts Aaron. If you felt it was time to go, it was. Best of luck on the next leg of your journey!

With all my friend. Changing jobs in these times is frightening to say the least. I've done it twice in the last 10 years and when you're my age it seems riskier but when you're not happy it's time for a change. Hope the change works out well

 

[Airframes]

Hope it works out Aaron - good luck.

 

[Micdrow]

Best of luck Aaron and good luck with your new adventure.

Timing to quit looks neither too late nor too early, Aaron.
Let me wish you good luck as you have had enough experience to do better now

Aaron, I feel your pain.

After 14 years working at the USAFA and 2 years with the current contractor, I was let go last Monday. I was actually looking to jump ship for about 6 months now as the current contractor is clueless along with some of the people I work(ed) with, unfortunately they beat me to the punch before I had an other job secured. It's looking like this is the first time in my 40 years plus working full time that I will be collecting unemployment. Luckily back in October I paid off my condo so even on unemployment I could make ends meet and have money left over.

Basically I have 3 weeks severance pay as well as a few days vacation coming. Right now I'm passively looking for another job but for the most part I'm taking the month of December off - might even take January off too!

Good luck to you Arron - to me happiness is worth more than a paycheck although both are a necessity.

Good luck Karl. You will not have a problem finding work. Thank you all for the wishes. And hoping for the best for you Joe, though I have a feeling it won't be long and you'll have a good job. Thank you again folks.

ABW and Rochie , Good luck and best wishes on finding new jobs that bring fulfillment and happiness. Life in a bad job is like being in the bottom of a toilet bowl. At that point, things can only look up.
