I just got reassigned from engineering to the maintenance department. My new boss doesn’t know what engineers do.

What? Why? Seems like an odd move

OMG, you must be reading my mind today. One exception is I hit 62 and could retire if I want but plan on going to 66. Its just that today is one of those pain in the ass days where I feel like getting up and walking out without saying a word to anyone except HR.

I’m assuming this is due to the flaming idiocy that is “engineer” titles for HVAC/etc. specialized maintenance? “Well, gawrsh, we have somebody in that department called an engineer already, so...”

I got one of those for Subaru hiring in Indiana. They were all 25% less than what I’m making now. =(

HiPretty much. The maintenance guys work on some pretty complex machines and occasionally need a custom part fabbed. But coming from doing machine design... I’m not happy. I also think it’s a message letting me know I’m not wanted anymore since they’re basically eliminating the engineering department. If they can get me to quit they don’t pay unemployment :-/

Good luck in your hunt! I have them feels. I’ve interviewed with two world-class outfits, dream jobs, and they both want me, but... the pay sucks. I’d make equal money with worse benefits (but double vacation), and have to move to a place I hate that costs more to live for one, and the other is in this area but pays $25k less. If it was just me, I’d take it just for happiness, but that doesn’t fly with a family.

I’ve had that feeling a lot lately, unfortunately the only emails I seem to get immediately following are from a customer berating me and my company or a clueless PM wondering why I’ve not finished the 3-weeks-for-3-people’s worth of work I have had two days to work on.
