I know somebody who's actually like that. Eventually he became what he called a "cleanup specialist" - a consultant who would come in, straighten out the messes in an operation, get paid well and move on. OTOH, I find myself wondering how many problems you had to straighten out at the position you're leaving were born of the owner's inability (or being intimidated by the prospect of) assessing performance, going face to face with employees in order to make changes, being willing to set checkpoints and see to it that they were met, etc., etc., etc. Maybe I'm reading the owner wrong, but its surprising how many entrepreneurs there are out there who have great ideas but are just terrified by the prospect of engaging in basic comptrolling (if that's a word) and management. | |||

Very happy for you Beancooker! Now you can buy some top quality beans! BTW – a pressure cooker is wonderful for hydrating and cooking dried beans. Serious about crackers | |||

| That is my spot. |
Congratulations! That sounds like a cool gig in General. (yeah, I'm Punny.) That entire industry is fascinating when you think of the entire farm to table chain. I had a friend who was the southeastern Manager for one of those big restaurant supply companies. He had some really interesting stories, met some cool people and terrified me into storing and growing food. lol ***************** Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Ben Franklin | |||

Ya, reminds me a bit of my last job. I was knocked on my yearly review every year for 12 years because I hadn't taken any additional internal company training. Thing is, I had taken everything they offered and I actually wrote the training manuals, procedures and the testing material for my department...  When I gave them 6 months notice they hired two people to take my place. When I told them that was half enough you should have seen their faces! Congratulations on the new position... best of luck! If it ain't woke... don't fix it. | |||

i stuck with a position far longer than I should have, mostly because of our kid in school. When she graduated, I left. Relocating was expensive, but the pay was better. More important, I felt appreciated for the first time in years. My wife says that's all I talk about--being appreciated. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

Well hell to the yeah!! Congrats! "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||
