how do i get faster?
i work in a small family owned and operated shop in a more rural area. we are a new company (~2 years old) making farm and construction equipment.
i was denied a raise last week and the cited reason was that (paraphrasing) "i am too slow and take too long/to much time to complete jobs and tasks."
essentially they said that we are a low profile margin atm and that we are barely meeting weekly quotas that would make the company profitable.
imo its ironic because the biggest obstacle to the company meeting quotas is the people in the office not fucking ordering material until we have run completely out and need more and the shop is at a stand-still but i digress.
so...how do i get faster?
im an apprentice rn, but im almost a journeyman in my province, and i have more than enough hours.
no one really complains about the quality of my work anymore, as ive gotten more experiance; but almost every employer complains about me being slower to get things done than everyone else.
i think part of the people is that i can be kind of spacey at times (i have ADHD-PI) so sometimes i kind of accidently zone out while working, where i am still working but on autopilot.
but i also always try to make everything i make look as perfect as possible, to the point that it is a habit, regardless if im simply cutting, fitting up, or welding.
i find that if i speed up, i end up fucking myself over and having to fix weld defects or bad fit-up etc.
my moto is that i dont have time to do it twice so i may as well make sure i get it bang on the first time.
