I've been at this welding job for almost a year now. I started off fitting at 1st until I was able to do a G1 CWB Test. I then moved to the welding position. It pays less but I want the experience as I plan to get into more advanced welding jobs that go above the fitter pay. Recently a night shift was added and nobody fits anything on that shift. I'll come in to work and there will be nothing to weld, so I get temporarily moved to the fitter spots until theres enough welding work. Finish fitting at the end of the day and there's a decent amount of weld work pilled up for the next day. Night shift comes and shit repeats.
Now the place is hiring more welders for day shift. I haven't even been able to move back yet. To make it even worse, one of the new hires is a foid and is positioned fucking next to me. I got into the trades to avoid foids in the fucking work place. Now I fucking work next to one. On top of that, she's doing exactly what I should be doing.
I also have been told numerous times that they'll get me tested for my G2 CWB. But each time CWB shows up, im not given the test. I'm about to say fuck this place and put my two weeks in. Either I do that or swap over to the fitter position and make more money to put towards the schooling I'll need for the more advanced welding trade I plan on getting into.
Fuck this job. Used to like it when I was able to fucking weld. Now all I do is put shit together for the welders.
(For those that don't know, CWB is the Canadian Welding Bureau. G1 is flat grove weld. G2 is horizontal grove weld)
