I had an interview here with Dave (Production Suprevisor) and George (Owner) with an understanding that I was a CNC Machinist w/ 4 years experience, and was moving on because my last shop was not willing to teach me programming. George says, You will learn everything here and I have no problem paying you $16/Hr, as we had talked on the phone about. Well, my first day: Cutting 1/4 carbide cutters to 1.27 . Second Day: Cutting 1/4 carbide cutters to 1.27 . At the end of the shift on second day, was told by Dave that Lotti doesn t know everything on the HAAS VF-3 Machine, and that He wanted me to work with him in it. I said, Okay. I go in on the third day and I m told to go back cutting carbide, until around 7:45 comes around, Lotti gets me and says, You know the machine better than me, you do it. Here s the machine, here s the tool, Here s the parts. Figure it out. SO, I stumble at figuring it out, as this was out of my experience as a mold shop CNC Machinist, and I had no experience programming. I identify the problem with their process, they were cutting a cutting edge broaches into M2 steel with a 3 round disc burr. That needed a different cutter and the program needed to be adjusted. I IDENTIFIED this problem to Anton, and Lotti, and the foreman (I forget his name). The foreman told me to go back to cutting carbide. Okay, I did. Roughly 45 mins later, I was approached by Dave to speak with him in the lunchroom. I was told by Dave, and I quote, We can t pay you $16/ Hour, We can pay you $12/Hour, and your of no use to us. I declined there offer and held my composure respectfully as I was belittled in the fact that I m of no use to them. Then I spoke to them and said, I think that is way to low even to start somebody out on a machine. Dave pretty much said, to condense and get the meaning of That s why were so successful. They pay workers their who are 30+ years in the trade less than $20 an hour and pay workers their minimum wage. As, the owner has a showroom of cars in the front, and has his family on staff, being treated like Kings. This is without a doubt a sad case of the American Dream brought to you by corrupt and crony capitalism. Underpaid workers, in a wage slave sweat shop, not paying anyone their actual worth. It s unfortunate that I have witnessed the sad reality of this form of economics. I m sure, based on assumption, I m not the only one to complain about this. I thought this company would of been good, but it wasn t, very unfortunate. They got rid of me, after they promised too much they obviously couldn t handle. Now, I m back at square one, with three kids and wife to support. Thank you HTC Tool and Cutter, for taking care of the American Workin Man!!!
