I'm sorry if it got personnel for you but we all understand who started this thread and I think the majority of posts reflect what we think of his comments.Being an open forum and knowing that people have a tendency to get upset and post libelous remarks, the moderators had to step in for the good of all of us.Everybody (Management included) reads these posts and that is not where we want them to get the wrong impression of this site.Send a PM to the one who has fired you up.Thanks.

I see now that we are all getting right with the uppers in Nukeworker I would think that Renhack would also need to get in line also with his Mgmt people. As of tonight I found out that it is not leagal to use a racing org's name in your user name without the written consent of that said Org. This being said I know that this reply will not be here long so read it quickly and save to a word document for further reading on down the line. I aggree with most of the stuff that has been posted on here and when somepeoples toes start getting stepped on alot of the post on here get lost/deleted. Is this fair well I don't know that but I do know that the fair is in Sept and they have small animals that you can pet and feed (that was a joke) so don't get offended. I have alot of friends that work for Duke and i feel their pain but it is not a life sentance you can get out if you really want. As for some of the post on here most of them need to "get a life" (a quote from the current coach of a major university in the big 10). Most of you take all of this as fun or funny but I have feelings and would appricate it if you would be more civil in your words. Thanks for keeping it real... People People can't we all just get along? Thanks J.B. :-X

Duke is a unique animal in the world of RP. They got by,for years paying the lowest in the nation. Let's see as Bob Dylan put it:.... the times they are a changin. I spent the better part of the 90's in the system and made a lot of great friends. Bartlett is just starting to see the shortage in the RP world. Like I told a supervisor at Duke I was a road tech when I landed there and I left, went back on the road.
I have not been back to the system in 5 years :o If you think it's bad now wait another 5 years when the next generation plants come on line. The average age tech in the field is around 55 ;) In 5 years how many access control tech will we need ? Before you jump all over me I have worked side by side with some very good 60 plus techs that get the job done. ;D
To all the Boys and Girls in the Duke system: we all have to tune up and tune it down, set it up and tear it down, but that's why we can Rock-N-Roll with the best of them :P

Rick I worked there myself, but not since 1990.. even back then the pay was low but the quality of work enviroment was great..Only reason I never returned was D.C.Cook and a gentleman named Pat Hoppe.. Since Cook gave us the shun,, I just float around,,lol It wasn't Pats fault..Now that Pat is back at Cook I bet he would love to have what he had back then, we had a kick ass crew, but then again we had a dedicated RP crew too..
But back on subject.. Catawba was a fun place to work,, and I've always told people it's a great place to work the people are freindly,, I'll always miss my ole catfish eaten buddy Jim Taylor,, Everybody lost a good buddy when Jim lost his life.. Gods Speed buddy

First, this is just business, not marriage, friendship or even our personal lives. The business is simple; they offer you money to do a job and you say “yes” or “no”. It’s irrational for me to complain about pay when I agreed to it. Second, if I agree to take your (the employer) money, I do the job you ask of me. If for some reason I can’t or won’t to the job you ask of me, I’ll take my leave and move on. I won’t rant and rave about how unfair it is. Third, I do the job they ask of me. It doesn’t matter if that means sitting in the break room all day or pulling multiple jumps in respirator and plastics. My time is theirs. It’s up to them to use me or not. Fourth, what other techs do has nothing to do with me. I do the work in front of me, no more and no less. Lastly, I’m here to trade my time for money. I try to be civil but I don’t go out of my way to make you like or dislike me. If you don’t like me that’s your issue not mine; whether you like me has nothing to do with how much I make. That doesn’t mean I’ll allow someone to be personally offensive with me. I won’t tolerate that and I’ll do what ever is appropriate to back you down.
I understand some people are social creatures, others are intense and almost anal about everything; still others are laid back expending just the minimum energy to get the things done. It’s their life, not mine and I’m happy they found a way to make it work for them. It’s called individuality. It works especially when you extend others the same freedom that you expect for yourself. Mature adults can easily stand in the presence of someone they disagree with and not be intimidated. The bottom line is, after all is said and done, IT’S JUST BUSINESS.
