avm's Journal: Job hunting, again

And it's that time of year again. The time where, despite it being the busy season in my particular line of work, my employer insists on farming out work that I could be doing to a series of subcontractors, temp agencies, and novice employees. I might point out here that my job requires certain knowledge that it's difficult to gain without actually doing it for awhile, and in some cases, unfamiliarity can cause damage to the (leased) equipment.

I know what I'm doing, I have no incidents whatsoever, I'm on time and punctual, I don't make a fuss but instead just do it, and I'm sitting at home. Over the past 3 weeks my paychecks have dropped on the order of $300-400, and the budgetary strain is unpleasant to say the least. Time to start the search yet again.
