I have been in plant management for 28 years as of next month, it's funny how easy people perceive the job to be. It can be physically and mentally hard at the same time and you're day ends when the job is done or at least running smooth. Did I mention that the people aspects of the job are often the toughest? It's usually the people who absolutly refuse to work a minute of overtime, whine and cry if we end up in a mandatory workday on Saturday or Sunday (all time and a half or doubletime pay) and won't do anything outside their exact job description. These are the same people who are in dire straights on their work attendance, job performance etc. And they think I make the "big money". I am fairly compensated for what I do and that's because I do what I do to the best of my ability and try to be fair to the employee and to the company. I am the keeper of a well defined and well communicated set of standard operating procedures and rules of conduct, they are not difficult to understand or follow, as long as you can do this we are doing good.
