Steady work while it lasts
Steady work while it lasts
It's a large company with decent benefits, employment under union contract. Max pay is decent. Plenty of overtime and double time.
The company is so big, it frequently trips over itself with procedure and excess waste. First-level management is underpaid, working mad hours with a fixed salary. As a result, management is extremely inexperienced to build airplanes. As a mechanic, we are constantly working out of sequence and playing catch-up on weekends. Plan on working as many weekends as you can. Now add in economic downturn and a constant fear of layoffs; the low person in seniority goes first.
Increase salary and hold a manager responsible for their poor decisions. There is no incentive for a senior mechanic with exceptional knowledge to step up to management. I've had 22 managers in the last 3 years. I'm not joking.
