I was hired during CAL time frame in 2007 when they were throwing bodies on the problem. There were about 35 of us in the class back then. Today, If I check the company phone book I can count my former classmates that are still here on a palm of my hand. Half of us were fired because they made the AO boards too difficult to pass. it was literally a pissing contest between managers who were asking questions they didn't even know the answers to. I of course, didn't stay in OPS too long. At the first sign of trouble I escaped to Engineering but even here there is an abundance of people that have been mistreated by the management. The only good thing I can say about the company is that it pays well. So if you're willing to sacrifice your sanity for a paycheck then APS will surely welcome you.
As you can tell from my statement above, I'm looking elsewhere. Seriously guys, You don't realize how twisted this place is, till you get a chance to meet with them face to face behind the close door. Complete and total LACK OF LEADERSHIP!!!!
I apologize. I had to vent somewhere and I can't do it at work. Please let me know if other companies have similar issues so I can avoid them.

BS Eddington is one of the best people I have ever met. I know the PM, Outage Manager and Emergency Manager as they all used to work for me. They are very very good people. This is a tough industry so toughen up.

in this country, in this business, at this time, if you have a well paying job, that should be all the sanity you need, if your job does not make you feel sane there are 120 to 128 hours every week outside of work where you can find a place to make yourself feel sane, your well paying job allows you to exuberantly pay for that sanity,...
I'm just saying,...

you have already dropped way too many tells in your post to maintain anonymity at APS,...
it is a Saturday though, if you remove the post soon, maybe nobody will notice,...
unless it's okay with you that APS does know and feel your pain, and your plans to move elsewhere,....
I'm just saying,...
Good Luck,....

Yep venting online is always a good strategy. Nuclear has been very good to me. It has its quirks then I talk to people from other employers and nuclear isnt so bad. The people are first rate
