Correct Pay??

[j-radkemachine]

I'M SURE MOST EVERYONE OUT THERE FEELS UNDERPAID...
I HAVE BEEN WORKIN W/ & AROUND CNC MACHINES SINCE I WAS 12 YEARS OLD. ( MY FATHER OWNS A SHOP )
I AM IN CHARGE OF :
PROCESSING ORDERS ( P.O.'S )
ORDERING MAT'L / CASTINGS
ORDERING TOOLS & SUPPLIES ( SHOP , OFFICE , ALL OF IT )
SCHEDULE
SHIPPING ( OUTGOING & REC. ) - ( PAPERWORK , FORKLIFT , ETC. )
PRINTING OUT OPERATION SHEETS FOR EVERY JOB
INSPECTION - ( FLOOR , IN OFFICE , FINALS , ETC. )
& WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM ... I JUST ADJUST OFFSETS MYSELF IF THE OPERATOR IS IGNORANT IN THAT AREA... OR WORK W/ THE OPERATOR ON LOADING PARTS INTO A FIXTURE THE CORRECT WAY..
I LOG EVERY SINGLE BIT OF INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO BE LOGGED...
( REC. REPORTS , P.O.'S , TOOLS , ETC. ETC. )

I HELP OUT W/ SET-UPS , FIXTURING , PROGRAMMING , ETC.
I BASICALLY DO THE JOB OF ABOUT 3 or 4 EMPLOYEES...

I DON'T THINK THAT OUR SHOP IS TOO SMALL EITHER...
ABOUT 25 EMPLOYEES ... & 2 SHIFTS!!!

SO... MY QUESTION IS ...
TO ALL OF YOU EMPLOYERS OUT THERE... OR ANYONE IN MY SHOES ...
WHAT IS MY POSITION "GO TO GUY" WORTH???
BECAUSE I FEEL THAT I'M WAY UNDERPAID...

OH DID I MENTION THAT BEFORE I STARTED BACK HERE GOIN ON 2 YEARS AGO... THEY STILL DID EVERYTHING W/ PEN & SPIRAL NOTEBOOK...
SINCE THEN I HAVE DEVISED A METHOD TO KEEP TRACK OF !!EVERYTHING!! INCLUDING OUR OVER 3,000 PARTS IN OUR SYSTEM...

LASTLY .... I'M NOT TRYING TO COME ACROSS AS CONCEITED... JUST NEEDED TO EXPLAIN THAT I DO MOST OF THE DUTIES... EXCLUDING QUOTE JOBS , DO PAYROLL , PAY BILLS , & PUSH THE GREEN BUTTON... ( WHICH I DO SOMETIMES )

THANKS FOR ANY FEEDBACK,

UNDERPAID IN TEXAS

Im happy with my pay...probably overpaid , but still manage to spend all my money before getting paid again. However, Im not happy with my job, and can't wait to get out of it .....money ain't everything, its just one more thing. Sorry I can't offer any more helpful advice.

[j-radkemachine]

Yeah I Hear Ya...
I Was Hired To Do Inspection. Period .

Now I Do All This ****.... & Don't Make Any More For It...

AND I AM HAPPY W/ MY JOB DUTIES... JUST DON'T FEEL THAT I AM PAID ENOUGH FOR IT

Book off sick for a while and see if the place goes to hell. If it does, then ask for a raise

[j-radkemachine]

thought of that .... just don't have it in me..... YET !!!

heck be thankful you have a job. i'm sure we all feel underpaid for what we do, but up here in michigan people are counting the days until they need to look for another job.

[j-radkemachine]

Yea.. I Hear Ya. It Has Been A Slow Year For Us Too.
Hopefully '07 Will Be Much Better!!!
Thanx
