Well, today was my last day of real work. My parent company in their infinite wisdom decided they did not want our location anymore and due to budget reasons they decided to close our facility.

So I'm out of a job.

I started with an OEM medical manufacturing device company, we were bought by another company and a few years ago we were bought out again my St Jude Medical (CRMD Division). But St Jude decided they didn't want us anymore so they are closing my site down.

It's pretty sad, I've been working for the same facility since 1991 and made it through both buy outs. That was basically my first job out of college. Guess it's time to go out and hunt down some new employment.

Maybe the Z3 will need a circuit!

What a helluva time to close the doors.

I'm sure that you won't have a hard time finding a new one. But the hardest, is to find one that you like, and wll continue to like.

My retirement that I had set up just fell through...Time to build a portfolio from scratch.

Anyhoo...good luck

your not alone. i'm looking for a new career myself, as the mobile electronics business is not what it used to be. been doing it for 16 years, and have no idea what to try next

a good job for you would be Integration Specialist.

GOOGLE MRAP and you should find a lot of companies in Charleston struggling to find people qualified to integrate (install) the Communications Suite in the MRAPS

any job doing military integration (building racks of comm gear) should draw upon your expertise to build, cut, bend, fab, and install.

the only big qualification you would need is a Military Connector school.

and most companies teach that to you.

Hey, we can start a club. I work for CompUSA, as you probably know is going out of business. I'll be out of a job sometime in January. Oh well, on to bigger and better things.

Maybe we should start a referal site. Seems as though car audio's days are numbered (I'm talking years if not a decade.) Someone needs to start a hi-tech company that we can all work at. Then we can sell it to Google for eleventy-million dollars and all retire

How about a hi-tech site working on medical electronics? Anyone want to sign on in NJ?

after only 7 yrs at the place I 've been at I was told yesterday that I was being laid off and could maybe able to come back if business picks up. seems some companies want to pay more people lower wages than those that have experiance. I was talking to a shop owner just today and after looking at my app he toldme that I was over qualified. now that really sucks, I mean you do the best you can, stay open minded to suggestions, are good with customers and do quality work with hardly any complaints and now you are over qualified and told " heck I can get 2 people for what you want to get paid". what a bunch of *********IT, sorry for ragging and yes I will have some cheese with that whine.

start your own business. maybe a street pharmacist? ive heard they make lots of monye!!!

Damn you get severence at least?

I'm assuming you might be asking me... and yes.

Also new development, I think one of my co-workers found another company that needed a new site of engineers who has agreed to lease the building we were in and hire all of us as a group. So it looks as if we all might have found new employment.

Yeah I meant you. I didn't get past your post before I replied. Cool though found another place in need of people.

Thanks. Nothing is official yet, but it's looking very very promising.

Ducatiboy, with your level of skill, talent, and experience, you will have absolutely no problem finding a new job.
