Big J's new job
he was having real issues with the scheduler at his previous job at a resort. She seemed to think that her daughter, niece, and niece's friend should have full shifts, and that Big J could get by with 3, 4 hours shifts per week. Management didn't want to rock the boat, so he left their employ.
Applied online last night to a local yacht detailing and repair company, they called this morning, he interviewed this afternoon, and starts tomorrow. They (after 3 months probation) provide skills training, support for trades training, benefits etc. It's full time, Mon - Fri, 40 hours, even at minimum to start, $12.45 per hour.
He has so much confidence now, and I am so proud.

Re: Big J's new job
Sounds like James earned every bit of that confidence. That's great to hear. I'm happy for both of you. --Boba1mamacat wrote:he was having real issues with the scheduler at his previous job at a resort.

That sounds like a great opportunity. I'm happy for him. Don't let him underestimate the value of a Mon-Fri full time job...no weekends. That's real.a1mamacat wrote: They (after 3 months probation) provide skills training, support for trades training, benefits etc. It's full time, Mon - Fri, 40 hours, even at minimum to start, $12.45 per hour.
As you should be. Congrats to both of you.a1mamacat wrote: He has so much confidence now, and I am so proud.

No, it is a permanent position, with lots of growth potential. They will (if he makes the 3 months) sponsor him to apprenticeship programs in marine trades, welding, ship repairs etc.christie1111 wrote:Excellent! Is it seasonal?

Maybe he can work his way up to this: https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2019/05/10 ... 557508580/
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: Big J's new job
Well done, James.
I remember the worries and concerns you had when he was a youngun. Seems he turned out ok. WELL ABOVE OK, actually.
Well done, Saucy.
