why quit your job in this economy?

[wed3k]

because rebuilding cylinder heads at 7.50 an hour is garbage.

Because I have insurance on all of my credit lines. Unemployment pays my shit.

But yeah, That is garbage.

Isn't minimum wage in CA creeping on $9/hr?

Yeah. That's why his was a low blow.

precisely why i quit, id rather be doing something else more productive than making 7.50

im going to be making approximately 350 this weekend in automotive work. it will also give me more time to finish up a stock D15 build and my auto-x car.

with pay that low, it isn't really worth staying until you finish up your own stuff, huh? later.

couldnt deal with boss anymore, decided to quit when he needs me most. we were moving the entire shop and only have 3 weeks till land lord acts. i have too much on my plate right now and the next thing i need is to work twenty hours and have someone in my ear nagging like an old girlfriend.

ive hooked up with someone else and we're going to be building cars, building engines, hustling parts etc.

ill just bring my machine work somewhere else, buy my own precision equipment and check everything myself. you know what they say, "if you ever want to do something right, do it yourself."

Depends - Are you in your job for qualifications / experience / or just because its a job?
Times ARE tough (and will be for a while), everyone is feeling it - I work at Honda NZ and I'M feeling it, no payrises this year reguardless of performance, and salesmen being cut left right and centre.
What do YOU want to do "longterm"??
Start thinking about your future. IMHO don't "quit outright" finding a new job will be harder (unless you have a good job lined up already)

If you think big - eg look at Honda - Cut the NSX and S2000 this year to save themselves from the economy.
Sure they will bounce back, but they are doing what they know is right - Saving themselves from total loss.

Just quietly but for example, Atm Honda NZ is buying cars from japan at $10 and selling them for $8 while at the same time they are BORROWING money to pay wages . . .
What does that say . . .

[TheNextAZN]
