I would give up all you are lacking for a decent profit sharing check a couple times a year.
the last manufacture I worked for kept finding ways to fudge me over. He would tell me I was to slow, when 50% of my work was repairing the rest of his croonies mistakes.
I complained one time and I was fired the next week. a year later he wanted me to come back to work for him. he actualy sent his croonies over to my house to ask me to come back to work. since he denied me unemployment I told him to drop off the face of the earth. of cource I couldnt go back even if I wanted to because by that time I was in a crippling car axident that has taken me out of the game.
what I would suggest is that you build your resimay keep quiet (dont complain a single word) and when things get better land a better job.
good companies stay in bussiness in both good and bad times with sound and resonable products. benifits packets stay sound.
meadiorker companies stay in business in both good and bad times. product quality suffers, employee morall suffers, owners have no real compreciation of what its employees are going through just to keep them in bussiness and frankly they dust dont care. they actulay pit employees against each other to force them to compete for the same low paying jobs.
then there just the everyday low paying jobs that have the highest turnover in the industry because they are stepping stones to higher positions or used as a way to keep from falling in to the creek when some one looses their job.
so look at it as if you are making 35 G's a year with out having to work over time you are doing good. you should be able to create your own retirement plan. if you are having to spend your family time to make this then you are in trouble and you should concider what I mentioned above. (give no worning about what you are doing) rest assured that you will not receive any notice when you are about to get canned.
