Glad I followed this advice last year. Much better place these days.
Never said you said it was new. Not every reply is a disagreement.
Things that make you frown :(

I wasn't being specific, but I guess neither were you. Just a consideration on what seems to be a consolidated trend. Being specific, I miss being responsible for the design, implementation and deployment of tangible products, I have to build bikes that I will never ride to fill that empty space nowadays...
Never said you said I said it was new....
I agree, see?
Yeah, more of a general statement, but based on things you and others posted earlier. Not just directed at you though.
This resonates with me. My job has gotten a lot more specific over the years as my team and the company grew. I often miss the earlier days when I had my hands in pretty much everything and knew what everyone else was doing. I actually considered leaving, but I like the company too much. My solution was to move to a new team, which I'm totally not qualified for. Yolo.

Been there too long and get paid well and 200 hrs vacation and planning on leaving in a year or so to move to cape may so tough it out
So easily said, and I couldn't agree more, it's just some people are terrified of change. I know if I hated my job, I'd be looking elsewhere. Better yet, find someone to pay you for what you really like and you'll never work a day. I haven't been able to figure out how to get paid for skiing or Mountain Biking, followed by happy hour, but 1 day!!!!!

Do you already have a place there? We've been going there for close to 30 years and we see that the past few years so much has changed. A small 2 br 1 bath goes for close to a million just for the footprint. It gets torn down and a 3-4 story gets put in its place.
Edit: It also doesn't help that Good Morning America just ran an episode down there encouraging NYC to come on down.

This is a conversation I had with our newly hired 23y/o "engineer". Resume said he has Autocad and Solidworks experience. Boss asks him to draw a sheet metal cover and box. He comes to me with his personal laptop and a 3d model drawn. Asks me to look it over because he doesn't know how to design sheet metal. I ask what version of Autocad he's using and he says he doesn't know Autocad, "this is my personal copy of Fusion", which apparently is from Autodesk. We only use Autocad. Next day comes in and says he watched a Youtube video last night about designing sheet metal and has a list of things to discuss. Starts reading from his phone. #1. The guys in the shop are using the wrong tooling to bend the parts and we need to go tell them. I laughed and said, yeah they're not, and be my guest. The machine operator has been working here for almost 50yrs. and I have 30+ years in sheet metal fabrication. I should have let it happen.

Yeah saw that
do we need a "things that make you facepalm" thread?
i just officially sent out an email to several coworkers (which includes people from marketing, advertising sales, editorial and copy departments) to tell them that no, it's not possible to MOVE the profile pic on the LinkedIn page... that it's a template that all pages follow and that i can only change the art used. Also, every one of these people have profiles on LinkedIn, post to LinkedIn, share things we publish on LinkedIn and, in some cases, actually search for specific people and companies to reach out to and verify some information we use.... so they are all familiar with the platform.

If its any consolation....ill remind u that you never get to only do these things.....which if course ruins it a bit lol. I'm supposed to do these things...and sales and training and blah blah....which makes the status of those original items sketchy at times 🤣

Yes, plenty of frustration there as well. The machines we produced had mechanical, electrical and finally software components. Unfortunately, being responsible for the software it was a given that I would have to compensate for any shortcomings on both the mechanical design and sometimes electrical. Then, after sales was another issue with service being capable of only basic level debugging and asked trying to cajole the customer in accepting any issue and cut corners…because bottom line.Last time I see poke to my old buddies in Italy they had just sold a machine to a company producing electric bikes motor, maybe I should make a comeback…
