Yeah, but you shouldn’t have to work OT in order to make a livable wage. People should have a work/life balance where they aren’t going home from work and immediately falling asleep.
It’s there, honestly, I’d work OT while being a salaried employee. But your attitude towards it is the exact reason people don’t want these manufacturing jobs. So you’re only proving my point.
Where I am, 70-90 k is an absolute shit salary is my point. It might be great where you are, but where I am, that’s not buying you a house. That’s about what our more senior technicians make, but the entry level guys make like $25-28/hr. Almost every office job at our company pays more. I love turning bolts, but it’s objectively harder work for less money, and that is why I don’t want those jobs.

Where do you live? Not exact location but rural or major Metropolitan area? It matters a lot.
I’m surrounded by tech companies and a crack house costs $1.4 mil
Right. These are manufacturing jobs in rural to small cities. Top end of jobs for unskilled workers.
