maddmaxx ★ Posted October 19, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 19, 2020 Or too many workers have dropped out due to virus. Much as I liked working at what I did, it would take a lot of money and some serious thinking before I'd go back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeguy Posted October 19, 2020 Share #3 Posted October 19, 2020 Or too many people are living in the parrents home, playing games on the computer, waiting for someone to offer them a $150K per year job before they consider quitting the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeman564™ Posted October 19, 2020 Share #5 Posted October 19, 2020 I didn't know you worked for a spring company. We buy millions of springs annually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted October 19, 2020 Share #6 Posted October 19, 2020 Make them say no. Give them a really large number of dollars for a really reduced number of hours and the proviso that you are coming back to train someone, not take on a full time job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I worked at the school was to get out of the house. Than they started pushing for more me to work more hours and it turned into a job. I probably won't go back to the school next year. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
