Was the same with us. It was a joke. Everyone on the same scale regardless of work experience.
Hide and seek 2 grand a week.
I miss the traveling and the working with my hands, but it is tons of fun raising the kids and being around for the holydays and not working stupid hours. 18-20 hours days were very common in the auto plants during Christmas shut down.
Amen. Considering that holding those guys up on startup, is millions an hour, lots of pressure. I've done quite a few 36 hour shifts in the car plants. Hate em, but darn good money.
