Sounds very non-committal. If by restructuring they mean bankruptcy, that could be everything from a waste of time to a unique opportunity, but how much uncertainty do you need? A phone call can't hurt anything. If they're honest, they'll have no problem answering a few questions.

I think they got a nibble but ain't gonna set the hook until they get a big strike.
Re: Wish me luck
I called them Monday. Then got this email. I don't think they're going bankrupt. It's a family business that's been around since 1942 in a small town. Doesn't mean they can't go bankrupt buy I'm pretty sure they're legit. I looked up court records and didn't see any red flags there. Usually huckster construction places will have a long list of law suits.ViperDoc wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 5:07 amSounds very non-committal.

I wouldn't worry about it except it pays a lot better than other jobs I'm looking at. Like 50% better enough my wife would not have to work anymore.
I think if I had computer skills I'd already be hired all I could say is I'm a fast learner. When I'm not too drunk
I saw they had several other positions they were hiring. So maybe theyre expanding and reviewing a lot of different things.
Or maybe they don't currently have a job at the right stage for me to start.

Re: Wish me luck
Well I got a job. Not the construction supervisor job. They never let me know anything back. I gota weird vibe from that place. If they can't let me know after interviewing twice and sending an email that said they were still very interested in hiring me. I don't think.its the kind of company I want to work for.
A semi custom cabinet shop. It's a pretty big outfit they have 2 shops one that does frame less cabinets and one that does face frame cabinets. They have some huge machines im looking forward to learning about. (The flat line sprayer was very cool) they haven't giving me a title yet but it sounds like I'll be going into a supervisor position of some sort.

Re: Wish me luck
You sayin I ain't wise
Just kidding yea your right. I don't even know why I'm telling you guys. Probably because every time I talk to friends or family they want something from me so I just avoid em anymore.
Re: Wish me luck
So uh any advice on negotiating a wage. I'm planning on asking more than advertised but I have no Idea what the pay range is. I get the feeling theyre pretty stoked about my qualifications and definitely starting me in some sort of position.
And thanks for the congrats. I really appreciate it

Re: Wish me luck
Ask for what you would be happy making. You can't ask any higher, so go for it.
Congrats, dude.

Ha! Ain't it true. I never talk with the family (wife's anyway) since the ONLY time they call me is when they want something. Leeches.Probably because every time I talk to friends or family they want something from me so I just avoid em anymore.
Re: Wish me luck
So im back to making what i made in 2005 the last time inworked for someone else. I guess the benefits add up to several dollars an hour.
They mentioned something about having game nights and bringing the family. I literally almost said. Yeah I'm not doing that. I caught myself and was just silent.
Trying to remain positive but I get the feeling there's not gonna be any good paying positions to work towards.
At least they have good benefits I guess.

Re: Wish me luck
I've literally spent most of my day filling out stupid forms and questioners. all unpaid.
What's my favorite candy?
What's my favorite restaurant?
What do I like to do on my days off?
Wtf? I really have to waste my time on this?
Trying to stay positive here.
I guess I should just be humble and thankful to have a job. If nothing else it'll be a learning experience for me.

Re: Wish me luck
I really don't mind helping out when I have it but I don't have anything left to give. That don't slow them down. Though. We've quit providing supper for everyone by answering the what are you having for supper question with. "Frozen pizza or something".statorvane wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 9:51 amHa! Ain't it true.

If it sounds like something they'd like and can horn in on the leftovers they invite their selves for supper.
