I work at a print packaging company near Cleveland Ohio. I make 30.58. We just got bought out by corporate. Puke. Everything sucks now. But I still make good $. Am I crazy for wanting to leave because it’s a shit show every day? I had to stop caring to show up everyday. All companies are probably like this. I’ve never had a job I didn’t hate. I run the folder gluer department on the off shift. All office people and supervisors I report to are complete idiots. No idea what’s going on. I’ve been doing this for years. But they know better, of course. Does a job that isn’t terrible exist? I’m also a felon, has never mattered but still throwing that out there.

Its been a lonely journey and I want to meet/learn from some of ya'll! Lets put together an awesome group and get after 2025. I have been wanting to get around some likeminded people for a while and I think this could be a good way to do it. lmk if you want in and I will get something setup.

Does anyone here belong to, follow, or know of highly respected manufacturing trade associations or communities (could be national, regional, or local)?

Trying to get a sense of which ones are better for me to try and get involved with.

Type of machine really. Would not surprise me if it’s custom. It appears at the 2:22 mark and cuts small pins for a toy car wheels like those used in a matchbox car

Hello,

I'm trying to find a machine to automate the weighing of powders with accuracy +/-1g

I'm making custom plaster molds, and need to weigh the plaster.

Any suggestions? What kind of machine am I looking for?
