Somebody has some big shoes to fill. Best of luck to you Robert

[cadcam]

Were he is going he wont have all the duties. sounds like it will be a walk in the park for him.

[Zoober]

I don't think any job is a walk.

I try to bring everything I have, wherever I go. My new employer will get all I have to offer, cause that's the only way I know.....

I hope Hanard gets someone that does the same.

I'm sure there are a lot of guys with the same approach.

[Joe788]

What kind of equipment and work will you be handling at the new place, Robert?

[Zoober]

5ax parts. I don't know if I am at liberty to offer more info, so I'll err on silence. Great shop, nice equipment, and from the people I have met, I feel very comfortable. Nice match I think.

[Joe788]

Ahhh, nevermind. I just saw where you're going in one of the other threads. Looks like a BITCHIN place. It will be nice to be able to lift parts with one hand, instead of a gantry crane!

[PeterM]

All those skills and for 25K, sweet.

[Zoober]

With enough overtime Peter.

The wages would be pretty fair for the skill set.

I guess I don't consider the list of skills to be that much for the experienced guys. Maybe we're looking for a top dog Like James was.

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Yeah, Hanard is looking for a Top Dog.

 

I think I scared away some guys by saying that. That's OK. I think the Company where Robert is going got the right guy for the job.

I just want to know how you have time to program a project. Managing the other programmers, creating supporting documentation, liason with customers on engineering and design review, supporting the shop floor, tooling and fixture design support cannot leave alot of time to program a part.

 

Are you leaving your CAPE when you leave ?

[Zoober]

Thank you James. I think that I can help them, and help myself. Other wise I wouldn't have taken the job.

I think some consider the top programmers as arrogant or cocky, but as meh stepdad used to say,

"Arrogance is confidence without competence."

 

I don't know how I do it Jimmy. I guess I just don't know any different.

I do know that the programmers I manage help me a LOT. They basically manage themselves. Sharp guys, good programmers, self starters, etc. I just give them guidance and help when they need. A good crew can really help a lot.

Actually I've been fortunate. The Best programmers I know are the opposite. It's the cockey ones that, well... let's just say they ARE NOT in the top dog category. Top Dogs have the "there's ALWAYS" something new to learn attitude, instead of, ther's NOTHING YOU can teach me.

 

There's one of those there Robert. It's actually comical. You'll sniff him out pretty quick Robert. When I was told this guy was going to be programming the MAM I told my boss to order a new spindle to keep on hand - with a straight face. The blood drained from his face. Now I can relax. You saved me a TON of headaches Robert. Thank you.

Robert,

For sure the guys you lead being top flight makes all the difference.

James,

Nail on the head brother. You can learn something new everyday. Sometimes the lowest guy on the totem pole will have the best idea to help out. Sometimes the Top Guy helps the lowest guy by making his life easier. Attitude makes all the difference.

 

We have 2 ears and 1 mouth, we are supposed to listen twice as much as we speak.

[Thermoform Guy]

Well said Jim.

[Zoober]

+1000 Jim and James.

I look forward to learning new things every day!

The people under you can make you look real good or look REAL BAD!!

[Bruce Caulley]

Sounds like a good job. About 12 months ago, before opening my own shop, I was considering a move to the US for a couple of years.

 

Some days I wish I had

Good luck on your new job Robert.

You never stop learning hence the purpose of this forum.
