I'm in a quandry.....last saturday one of my former bosses from calibre texted me to tell me that they're looking for a handstriper for one of the job teams at the saukville plant. She's been trying to get me back in saukville since I transferred to the Grafton plant a year and a half ago and trying to coerce me back to calibre since i left. She knows the reasons why I left and does understand why I left but she keeps tipping me off to when they need help. This is an issue for me because I'm actually considering it. I'm considering it for the simple fact that I don't make enough money. I work 2 jobs, and work just as many hours as I was when I was at Calibre but I'm making less money. I like the people that I work with and I don't mind the work but I hate the fact that I'm not paid well enough. My reasons for not wanting to go back are these....
- I hate the idea of going back to something I've already done. Shouldn't I be trying to do something I've not yet done? Move forward instead of backwards.
-The people I had issues with are still at the company but they work at the Grafton plant. If I go to saukville hopefully I won't have to deal with them but I get concerned that I may not be able to totally avoid them.
-I'd have to swallow some pride to go back. I hate being wrong....I hate even more admitting that I was wrong. I don't want to choke.
- I'm concerned about the economy. People may not buy motorcycles like they used to and with Harley being the bulk of Calibres business what will that mean for me if I go back and I'm at the bottom of the totum pole?
- I like the people i work with and don't want to leave them shorthanded.
I guess I have some pondering to do.
