The lay off at Christmastime was awful but now this is a lovely summertime surprise.

Glad to hear this for You, Your Co-Workers & Community!

We both know our state needed it.

for you and your community. I hope it lasts a long time.

We weren't doing too well lately.

Not much for the big picture but in our community it's a great start, especially since the jobs do pay a living wage.

hope you love it.

We were really struggling for a time.

Big, mostly industrial size batteries and they are kick ass, if I say so myself.

Industries placing orders for something they need . . . Interesting . . .

Hopefully big enough to ship on a railroad. I could use more trains to pull.

Congratulations and welcome back to work! It's a good feeling coming back...

They are also planning on improvements throughout so it could be a long term thing.

Sorry you had to go through that.

but it wasn't the first lay off for me. At least I was called back this time, compared to other places.

I will find out around the 3rd week of this month what my job situation will be.

Best of luck to you!

and thanks for sharing this good news here.

I'm very happy.

I really needed this job.

Live long and prosper.

and I will get my first pay check just in time to see the new Star Trek movie!

sans glasses I had earlier read I'M BACK TO WORK AFTER A DAY OFF!! and I thought, okaaaaaaaaaay.

Congrats to you!!!

Thanks for the congrats!

Always great to hear that one of us is headed toward some normalcy in their lives. Just started a new job about 3 weeks ago, myself, after over 4 years searching. It's just part time for now, but looks promising that I'll get to go full time in the near future.

Congrats, xmas74.

I hope it all turns out well for you!

I am very happy for you and the others who will benefit from this.

I'm going to be getting my certification for manual machining and CNC programming next semester. Four whole graduates this year...

I live in Missouri.

Production? It's batteries.

Machinists are pretty useful in general, From what I've seen I'll be fine.

You should be able to find a job in the field.

Congratulations! I know what a relief you're feeling right about now.

playing catch up on my bills but in a few months it won't be too bad!

without the need of a passport..

and a few of them still pay a decent rate. Of course, we all need to pay attention to what products we buy to be sure we support American jobs.

Best news ever, to get back and provide for your loved ones.

I'm glad I'm back.

Just can't beat that feeling of getting back.
Big weight off the shoulders. Good on ya.

it seems so rare anymore

I'm hoping for a call back soon myself.

Good for you.

Also good news for others they will hire.

Go you!

congrats!

It seems more people are getting work again. For a few years there it was more common to read about people losing their jobs. Good luck!

While the U.S. Carpenters Union is dying, I received a robo-call from the Canadian Union. They need 10,000 U.S. Union Carpenters, ASAP. If I were able bodied, I'd be there now....

I'll never be rich but I can live, pay bills, and not have to worry about starving or not having a place to live. I can even buy my child the occasional new outfit.

I hope there are no more layoffs where you are for the foreseeable future.
