For those not on my facebook,
Daaaaaaaammmmmm! Now what to do!!!! Just talked to another company that's actually a competitor of the first one! When I told them I accepted a position at their competitor ................ THEY UPPED THE ANTE!!!!!
Should I see the bet,raise ........ or call!!?
WOW!! Decisions, Decisions!!!!!!
Excellent news!
Since ya already have the job at the first place and know what's up with them, I would weigh my options and push to see just how much more money you could get from the #2 job if your thinking that's a place you may want to work. Once ya get a max dollar amount from #2 go back to #1 and let them know what is being offered to ya and see what they have to say
By the way...................ya did get the torque converter bolts, right????

Exactly what I did!
SHORT VERSION: ........I ended up taking a job at the first company (in Jonesville Michigan) Wednesday morning! Once I told the maintenance superintendant (on the phone) that their competitor had raised the ante by $1.00/hr, he asked if I would "hold on a minute", put me on hold and then came back another .50/hr higher than THAT!

$1.50/hr raise and I haven't even started yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's funny and great is the second company down in Bowling Green was trying to beat the first companies offer ....... and hadn't even talked to me in person yet! JUST A PHONE INTERVIEW!
So I start next Wednesday in Jonesville!
Thanks EVERYBODY for all the well wishes and good luck! IT WORKED!!!!!
Hart, those TC bolts are the last things I need for Saturday (or Friday morning, we need to talk). I'll get them Thursday for sure!
