Title: Leaving Baker Products
Post by: ADAMINMO on April 01, 2010, 03:52:09 PM
Well guys I hate to do it but my financial needs call for action. As of April 16th,2010 I will no longer be working at Baker Products. I will be moving on to a new job making a little more money so I dont fall way back in the red. I have enjoyed my employment with Baker as it is a great place to work. Great people and a great atmosphere. But it is time to move on.
  The upside is I can still enjoy the forum and talk with all you great folks on here. I will still be here to help anyone in need that has a question or a problem with their Baker equipment. I have enjoyed talking to all of that have called in over the years to order parts or machines or just had questions in general.
The other upside is that I will be working for a company that my dad works for as well as some other relatives and friends so I am not just jumping into a job where I know no one. So wish me luck in my new venture!!

I wish you the very best in your new endeavor! I hope the learning curve isn't too bad and that the extra money will be all you need to get into the "black".

I'm glad to hear that, Adam.  Not that you are leaving Baker, but that you are going to be welding Bridge plates.  I've had a heck of a time finding a decent dentist around here and my bridges need work, not to mention that I  might need some new work done.  You'll have to let me know were your office is.   ;D

I wish you the best with your new job opportunity.  The best thing that I read was the part about working with your Dad.  That is the greatest gift of all.  Treasure it...... :)

Wow, this sounds like a great opportunity.

A great opportunity for you to work with friends and family.

A great opportunity for you to make some more bucks.

A great opportunity for the folks at Baker to tighten their belt a bit until the economy improves,

and an opportunity for me to call Baker in a few weeks and ask them when all those free parts will be delivered that you promissed me before you left!    :D

Best of success to both you and the great Baker Team.

Scott

Well Tom .... I planned it that way for a reason. Gave me some huntin time and catch up time. but job only lasted 6 days for me. To much jackhammering and too many chiefs and not enough indians. Job was a big cluster. I like to be a little more organnised than that. So now for the good news ......... I am now back at Baker building equipment and not answering a phone. So if anyone sends me a pm it will be a bit before I can answer it cause I am not on the computor much any more. But I am glad to be back working with good people and a good job.
Thanks for all the support!!!

Adam
