I'm the Operations Manager of an Industrial engine shop. All that stuff out there running pumping units, drilling rigs, big generator sets, and stuff like that. Mostly oilfield related. We have 2 owners, 1 doesn't do anything and the other is an alcoholic. He drinks beer from the time he wakes up and is generally shat-faced by noon. Only thing that keeps me there is the $$$ and that isn't going to work much longer. I'm tired of baby sitting a bunch of grown men who are nothing more than parts changers and not a real mechanic in the bunch. At least the old manager had me to run the shop now I have to do both jobs. I have no one out there I can trust to get anything done. On one end I deal with a drunk micro manager and on the other a bunch of parts changers who are always POed at me for riding their butts.
Don't hold back buddy....tell me how you really feel...I'm sorry man. I feel your pain.
The owner of my company is cool....but his right hand man is a total duesch bag....and he has his 2-20 year old kids in very prominent positions.....
Both kids are overwhelmed and act like....well...20 year old kids.
I hate my job so bad......
But it pays the bills......
