Wow! I think it would be not improving my education sooner, and not recognizing those saw my potential and wanted to help me.
We had an intense conversation, then we agreed that job came first!
Research and development, there was always something new to learn!
I only had one situation that occurred which brought me some "heat" from another co-worker. It happened while the crew I worked on was on morning 12 hour rotation and the other crew was on evening rotation. My crew and I ran production and then some,and the other crew didn't accomplish a whole lot over the weekend. That Sunday evening when they came in to work I let them have it,at the time I was the person on my crew that was responsible for notating all the issues from our shift and most of our issues were due to the other crew "slacking off" so to speak. Well the next shift that I worked I had a meeting with our Business Unit Leader ( BUL-Company title) and explained the situation and what had happened. He appreciated my honesty but told me he had no issue with what I had done because no one in the management team could figure out why the other crew wasn't pulling there weight. I later apologized to all the members of the other crew for my actions.
All in all it was THE best job I ever had. I got along well with pretty much everyone I worked with in all the positions I had there during my tenure with Michelin. The hours and the schedule can be rough at times with life taking the curves it does,but it was a GREAT place to work.
The biggest mistake I made was giving up my job to take care of someone that in the end didn't really appreciate or care about the sacrifices I made for their well being.
Most of the days were stressful that comes with working in a production environment.
I loved working with the people I met there.
