the company i worked for trained me to do five different jobs in three departments. I was the most versatile person they had, and I was even trained to do all of the chemistry in the quality control lab. I was the only person who had been trained in the lab since the company began. I leveraged that early last year in order to max out my pay scale in a very short amount of time. Looks like that backfired.

For the record I saw this coming as they had closed a couple of plants altogether. I knew I was expendable because I didn't really have a position, I just floated around and made sure things got done, and made more money than the people doing the work. There were several supervisors let go (I wasnt one, but acted in that capacity to some extent) as they had a problem with far too many chiefs in the tribe.

I put a lot of money back last summer working as much overtime as I could and working for my own company on foreclosed homes for Realtors that I know. I'm set for a few months if I need to be, but I would like to find something soon. Im going a little stir crazy. I would be happy, however if I could fully support myself and my family with my business alone, and I am gladly taking this opportunity to invest time and money into it.
