Maybe this statement will motivate me.4 weeks into the new job after leaving the previous one after only 13 months and it feels like one of the best decisions I have made in a long time.
More motivation was just added in a meeting. Because my boss SUCKS at project management, in addition to finding skilled and competent workers at our notoriously low pay rate, and that our current largest customer wants us to do more, all employees of the department, including the engineering staff, must work the same hours as the shop employees, 10hrs M-F, 5hr every other Sat, until we catch up. Shop gets time and a half, engineering = $0.00 more.Maybe this statement will motivate me.
Please think about moving on. I was at the same shop for 15 years. The owner was abusive and no one got a review until someone quit or threatened to quit. I talked about leaving for close to 2 years. As soon I started looking, I was much happier. My new jobs base pay is 11k more a year. And nobody is an Asshole when you can't work lateMore motivation was just added in a meeting.

We're never caught up!
My motivation to leave the "new job" I only had for 13 months had nothing to do with compensation, it had everything to do with the level of disorganization and chaos that Management acknowledged but didn't have the support from the Executive leadership to correct - meaning investment in time and money. It came down to me having to endure every single day (including evenings and weekends on call) of something escalating into a major problem which leads to " if everything is urgent and critical then nothing is". I was burnt out after only 9 months of being there and I could feel myself not giving a sh*t sometimes when things were going wrong.More motivation was just added in a meeting.

this project may very well needs its own dedicated blog to see the progress - good luck!Finally getting funding and permits approved for a long awaited addition. Will be adding around 1400sqft to our 1100sqft house. The kids and thier crap aren't getting any smaller so the space is needed. Hopefully some dirt will be moved by the EOM.
