Got a job just a couple of months ago and I'm already burned out. I'm thinking of quitting but at the same time I feel like a bitch for not sticking it out>Signed up at local union for pipefitting job>Got placed in this pipeshop near my house>Was pretty optimistic, supposedly 10 hours of OT>supposed to learn a lot>Mfw it's nothing but a glorified position as a shop hand>Never get to practice welding or work with the fitters>Foreman giving me mundane tasks>"Go sweep the parking lot" "Go grind the paint off" "Airblow this" "Make yourself look busy">Mfw been welding professionally for two years now>One time I tell him I can pick up some 90 deg elbows with the forklift>Says no with an angry tone, doesn't want me driving because I dont know how to according to him>Mfw certified forklift driver for different companies and 2 years experience>He genuinely thinks I'm retarded>Never get any of said OT>Never get to practice welding or work with the fitters>Genuinely feel like I'm pissing away my time>Even a couple of coworkers told me to find something better if possible>The cherry on top is that I'm making $15 p/h>Not the type to bitch or complain, but I genuinely felt I needed to type this upIf it was something that genuinely required skill or helped me get better I wouldn't mind working for $15 an hour. But it just absolutely feels like a waste of my time.Should I just quit and look for something else? I've been burned out of jobs before, sure. But never this soon. The shop won't give me a raise until I've made a full year, and then it's just 1 dollar more.
