I recently switched jobs. Currently a Process Improvement Specialist (Six Sigma Black Belt) for Fairfield Medical Center in Lancaster, Ohio. It's a big change from my manufacturing background, but healthcare has been a field I've wanted to get into for a while.

one more add to this theme - my first job was a block from the old headquarters of the company that made the Spalding Champions set. I would like to sneak into the basement and find a set or two still tucked away

I make sure all of the safety containers on the highway by merging lanes with metal or concrete dividers have a full amount of water in them in case a car hits them.

In the movies i am sad to see chase scenes end with an accident knocking down all of those containers as someone will have to fill those back up and also upset to see that many of them were only half full.

The fact that I know what this is is probably almost as troubling as that you claim to do it for a living.

I worked in an underground coal mine for 31 years. Took my pension and semi-retired (I do carpentry jobs sometimes if I feel like it) at age 51 ten years ago. Coal miners are not dumb guys with picks and shovels. It's rough and dangerous, but it is mostly highly skilled jobs operating heavy machinery. I was good at it and am proud of it. No way I could ever work in an office, sit at a desk. Unfortunately looks like I will eventually be cheated out of the pension and medical care I was promised. Not promised - a signed contract! Probably have to sell off my collection.

[Snapolit1]

I know coal mining is tough work . . .I saw Zoolander.

Seriously, that's tough work, and the kind of work that made this country what it is today. Sorry to hear you were screwed out of a well deserved pension. That is terrible.

Still have the pension at present, but in danger. The company I worked for has played their little games. Bought and sold, mergers, all that shit that makes millions for a few. Now the "company" that is supposed to pay my benefits is going bankrupt. All the millions they made have disappeared into some crook's pocket. No money left to pay their former employees.

[Snapolit1]

Without getting political, and this board is certainly not the place for that, this is precisely the kind of crap that has angered so many people into looking in the direction of candidates for president we could hardly have imagined even 5years ago. Big middle finger votes for the status quo. Good luck.

They underfunded the pension over time? Did they possibly fund it as required by law? If if the company declares bankruptcy the pension should still have assets.

I worked as an air traffic controller USAF four years and then 29 years with the FAA. Mandatory retirement forced me out at age 57 (should have been age 56 but I was able to get extended). So I've been retired for five years and I don't miss working even one bit
