Should I just quit?

Cubslover
I've been working PT at the Sportsman's Warehouse since March. I do like the job and the extra play money (and discounts). I don't get much time around the house to take care of things or even get much time to hunt. And the thing about the play money, one day of OT at the plant is the same as a two week check from SW. It really doesn't even seem like it's worth it to me.

I work a 3-on, 3-off here at the plant and just came back from my 3 off. I check the schedule and I'll be getting forced in for a 12 OT shift coverage for the next few weeks. I've been catching enough grief from my boss as it is about my availability.

I'm scheduled the 15th at SW, now I just found out I'm also scheduled here for the same day.

Should I just quit and forget about it? Or keep trying to balance the two schedules?

    If it would be possible to reduce the SW job to "as needed if available" that would be the thing to do.

    sounds like you can do better by being available to your 1st job. I work 2 jobs but only because i can't get overtime at my day job.

    These were rhetorical questions


    Rhetorical questions with answers. [:)]


    No offense intended but some of your answers are very naive.

    The plant you work in is no different than 90% of the other small processing facilities out there. Not sure your age, but you are most certainly to young to feel you have no upward mobility with your main employer. Move to the instrumentation department if necessary to challenge yourself. If you haven't already done so join IEEE, ISA or the professional society of your choice. Attend their functions and do some networking. Use this as a tool to find a challenging position with another employer.

    Consider moving overseas for a few years, and accepting serious challenges on multi billion dollar expansion projects within processing plants the size of the city you live in. There is a world full of opportunities out there for you cubslover and I wish you the best of luck with your decisions.

    Just put aside all OT money as play money if you can make as much in 12 hours as two weeks do the math you can work one day and have the other 13 to play if you are not at work at the factory instead of going to another job
