Quit a good job or not? 9

[Jerry66]

Hey all, I am trying to make a decision. I spent 20 years working in a large casting plant, gained a great deal of knowledge and experience. The plant closed, I then went to work in another casting plant, a new plant suplying parts to toyota. I have a great job here, working in qa lab making $14.00 per hour. I do ppap, layouts on new parts, cpk studies and daily production checks. My problem is, Management moved someone else into the lab making 5 more dollars per hour than me. I have perfect attendance for 5.5 years never late and I do great work. Management promoted someone else in the plant to die cast engineer, this guy is good at die casting and he will do a fine job. This is a job I have been wanting and it was't posted up for bid. I know the company can do whatever they want. I am covered up in work and can't get help my boss seems to not care, I can't keep up with all the new ppaps and layouts as well as production checks. I am working day shift, should I seek a job in another plant that pays more per hour and work mayby night shift or stay here and ignore the bs? please advise. Thanks

It is rutine for the workers to come. They are for support and to set up equipment, they do not come to sort. We are tight with toyota, our owner is close to toyota. They love our work and quality. We have recieved awards and toyota continualy want us to take on new business. Our parent company is all about toyota. As I said we are in good with them. I think some of my post were mistaken. I guess it was my wording. My management strives for lean manufacturing. This why many people here have low pay. They are tight with money. This why I was trying to decide to seek employment elsewhere, at a larger company which pays higher wagwes. Thanks everyone

That last says it all.
They want to be lean and mean.
They don't intend to pay more.
It means they have the view that no one is irreplaceable. It means they don't care how good you are so long as you don't cost them money.
It means you really have to start looking.
