For starters. The basics. I'm the lead technician at a local diesel shop in my area. A LOT of people know me for my love of automobiles, and my abilities both in automotive and diesel. I'm turning 28 this year to put age to it. Paid 32/hr + 401k with 5% match, paid health insurance, $3k/year Healthcare reimbursement, a nice PTO setup, and a small tool allowance. (Been employed here since 2015.)
Moving on.
I was recently solicited by a local UPS delivery driver this past week about a mechanic position opening up here in a few months at the local UPS hub. Cliffs, $45/hr health insurance, retirement. Unsure on other ins and outs. Add ~ 3 minutes to daily commute.
I informed my foreman about this, and he then informed me, he had been wanting to talk to me about possibly going in with he and another coworker on purchasing our place of employment. (Retirement age owners with kids that want nothing to do with the business.)
A few days following, (today) I was solicited by another tech at a local ford dealer. Noting the dealer just swapped owners, (for the better,) they're looking to hire new techs, and more diesel savvy ones at that. Awaiting phone call from management (that joke with employment every time I pick up parts.) So I know that phone call will be made.
I'm typing this on my break just trying to wrap my head around what's happening. I am GOING to be making a life changing decision in the coming months it seems. I just don't know where to go. I'll edit and fill in more info when I have time. I just wanted to get this rolling so I can have unbiased opinions from people that do NOT know me, and have no skin in the game on all 3 fronts.
