Not sure what to do.
Ok I need an answer by the end of Easter holiday. I am in a situation where I currently work for a company I've been trying to get in since 3000a.d. ok a long time. I finally got in the door a month and a half ago, but through an agency that has me committed to that agency for a year.(maybe) Now because the pay is not near what I made in my last 2 companies let's say 8 & 8 a total of 16 years working at both I accept the pay until I get hired full-time. So here is the dilemma!!!!!!!! I like most people see what's out there, and apply just to see if you catch something better be it pay or type of work interviewed with another company which the kind of work they do is more my forte so to speak. I was told yesterday via email to send 3 references, and the job was mine. That interview lasted 1 hour with the C.E.O.- supervisor, and top machinist. They were the coolest bunch of guys ever. We talked more about life than the job itself because they trusted my background was legit. I was offered 5 more $$$$ an hour than my dream job, but my only hesitation is that the job has too much going on if you know what I mean. You are building machines from the ground up which includes all fabrication, welding, drilling, painting, wiring, inspections, ECT. Schematics, blueprints up the Ying yang. Ive never took on so much responsibility in any company I've ever worked for even though my last job I was machinist/supervisor for the last 4 years, and I ran a 4 automated machine cell. My question is would you guys stay where you're at, and eventually get hired on with minimum job duties, or go where the money is at now with Lord knows how many duties, and challenges you'll have to take on. Majority rules in this case. Both same shift so I can't work both unfortunately. Thanks guys!

I prefer the challenge and the diversity of all the different parts coming together Bruce. Not to mention the extra $200.00 a week which we should be hoarding now-a-days. But mostly it is the camaraderie within the workplace that adheres us there.
I have worked on many projects which always have a time line. And if that timeline is genuinely acceptable...and I mean without the stress of on-time completions, then the second offer is much more rewarding. Now, what to do about your contract with the agency? Is it something that you can walk away from without consequence? However, if you are considering the easy life of where you are at now, wait it out to see where the increase of income, after permanence, settles. It may not be where you expect either. And it is 10 and a half months out...but over $8,000. less this year alone. Respectfully, Philip M Brockman
Bruce - I think you are disfunctional,and screw up. Game player at best. Do what makes you happy. God help me,please! Marcus.
