My New Start

[srusinek]

I've been working for Valvoline Instant Oil change for 9 plus years. Recently I was working at a store as the manager and the store closed due to their franchise agreement. So to keep my job I took a pay cut from 32 a year to 12.50 an hour. So this guy comes in for an oil change a couple of weeks ago that I know personally and on tuesday, called me asking if I was looking for a new job. I went and seen him on wednesday and I accepted the new job. It's for a construction company that rents out heavy equipment to the lower 48 states and Canada. So I'll be a mechanics assistant and I'll be power washing vehicles, changing hydraulic lines, changing heavy equipment attachments and oil changes. So I'm super siked and I start in two weeks. Just wanted to share my story.

Thank you everyone for wishing me well in my new gig. I forgot to mention one thing. After I submitted my notice and after 9 plus years of service all I get is best wishes. I knew the writing was on the wall but it wasn't this obvious. Everyone I told today that I put my notice in could not believe I was leaving and they also wanted to know if I can get them in. Go figure.

My new salary is more than what valvoline will pay no doubt and as per the handbook I might have to sit down and have an exit interview. I won't mind doing it but let's must say that if we do sit down, he will get a piece of my mind. On the way out I'm going to be playing that country song by johnny paycheck.

Sucks that after that long of loyality that they cut your pay by that much, thats what almost $3-4 an hour of a pay cut. Serves them right, my last job I was at for 10 plus years the last 2 they did'nt want to give me a raise, cause I had reached the high point of the pay and would be making a little less then asst managment and they were'nt making money which is b.s. cause they would close if they were not making any money and on top that the asst manager was an idiot. I knew more about the job then her and had been working in the service industry when she was still in her early teens! She screwed up I'd say about 30-40% of the orders I would make by not reading the mods on the bills. When I quit and moved the restaurant went downhill big time and most of the top cooks quit cause lack of direction from managment. Needless to say 9 months later I'm still waiting for them to mail my record of employment and 1 month for my t4 (Canadian tax thing







Oh yeah and for the song I prefer the Dead Kennedys cover!!!!!!

That's the tune and I'll be playing that on my phone on my last day. I might even play it if I have that exit interview. Nice.
