Personal - job changes
So I started at this company last April as a lowly process tech, tasked with the stuff process techs are tasked to do. Within the first few months I had grown the position into very much an engineering role, designing and implementing upgrades etc. They trusted me with more and more shit, sending me off-site to vendors for FAT, etc.
Last January, they offered me a raise and additional responsibilities by making my position a dual role of process engineer and safety manager. I now carry my OSHA 10 hour card, and plan on getting the 30 hour card next fall.
Today I accepted an offer to assume the role of maintenance manager.
Anyways, just wanted to share this - I have had trouble finding the right company since being laid off from my dream job in 2007, so this series of events is exactly what I needed to restore my sense of professional pride.

I used to have a factory job and had to point out to management that I was making as much as the drunk they fired. Didn't change a thing. ;-)
I am a "master technician" with Pepsi now. I drive around in my white van, meeting new people, troubleshooting and repairing all sorts of bevrage related resturant equipment. My work stands on its own, I am 1/4 top-ranked out of ~3000 techs, there is ZERO stress, it is stable, and I am happier and more satisfied than ever. I have been offered management, but since I make as much with a better schedule, why bother?
The point is doing what makes you happy. I was ready to give up on everything after my last lay-off, but like a running back my heart told me to keep my legs moving and eventually I broke out of the noise.
I am glad you have too, with a company who appriciates your talents and you SHOULD feel proud of yourself professionally. Personally, too for not giving up. I am really happy for you brother. I hope doors keep opening for you!
