Jeramie Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 After 8-years at my current company (commercial combustion, refinery equipment) I have accepted another offer and gave my 2-weeks this morning. I’m going to miss this job. I currently travel around the USA on a fairly regular basis, hitting refineries and chemical plants. I have process and destruction equipment in pretty much all of them. I get to go to places like Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Houston, San Fran, NY, NJ, Florida, Georgia, etc. Pretty regular. I literally travel at will.... I make fire for a living. We bring heaters (think large buildings, ranging in size several stories) to internal temps up from 1200f - 2200f. Then, any off gas produced is either re-used or flared off. We do that too. Interesting, fun work. However, I had another company contact me for an interview. They do the opposite to some degree. They build commercial grade coolers (cools gases, chemicals, etc). This too is oil/ gas and chemical but not nearly as interesting. Regardless, they offered me a Manager's position over two of their groups. It comes will all of the management types of perks: Pay, bonus potential, people working under me, etc. Too good to say no..... So as of this morning, I turned in a notice. Even with the potential of this new job and an incredible increase in pay, it’s going to be HARD to walk out of here on 02/21. To new beginnings....

redkneck Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Good luck with it Jeramie. I took over as V.P. here Jan 1st and now have two plants to manage. Big pita at times but change is good. Wish you all the best bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Congratulations on the new job Jeramie. Sounds like your benefits of taking the new position are a lot better than where you've been. You have to do what's best for you and your family. It's only natural to feel that way about leaving a job after that long. By the way...just my $0.02 but having people working under you isn't really a perk...it can be both rewarding and trying at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I wish you the best Jeramie. This is a great accomplishment and something you have earned. I am not going to wish you luck. Because luck had NOTHING to do with your skills getting you there. Look forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
