Nothing says you can't look for a new gig while remaining at your current one. I'm not sure what you intended to do but just don't shoot yourself in the foot by quiting before you find something better. Do the best you can with what you have and take that with you if and when you go.

born,

May I suggest that you write a letter to the bigwigs?

Explain how you really liked the previous job because of the opportunity it provided for growth relative to your performance.

Tell them that you like the company, but feel this new position appears to stunt this growth and you feel your long term value will be diminsished.

Ask them to detail your options for further development and opportunities.

It may not change things immediately, but it will show a drive and work ethic that all employers expect but rarely receive.

In the meantime, it's OK to keep an eye out for other jobs, but embrace this new position and kick ass.

After a few months, if you're in a rut, ask for a review and an opportunity to discuss your long term plans.

You said you're molding? What type?

If it's in the plastics industry, shoot me an email

It is indeed plastic. 90% auto, a little medical.

90% auto.

You're lucky they're still open for business.

This would have a totally different (and better) meaning if Scotthar had posted it.

^I agree.

Hey, Scott... if you're looking for new, um, 'talent' to work with those ladies... I do have at least 3 days off a week, ya know.

I'm jus' sayin'...

(If my wife found out, I'd be in the ICU with you... possibly 'talentless' ala John Bobbit)

I'd like to specifically know just what kinda parts Scotthar would be "moulding".
