Funny how these job threads always get redirected toward Happy Valley or the Big S in Orlando. :|

That one, too. My point is that these job threads tend to get hijacked by recruiters for other labs.

They are turnstile labs!   We just hired another dude, and two more are coming!  I guess its time for the organic lab to hire again............................ :-D

Every lab in the nation is a turnstyle lab. It's not a bad thing, because it drives up the salaries.

I wouldn't bet on that. Where I work, the turnstile is well greased in both directions... They hire techs fresh out of trade school, and after they've been here a few months, and do a few on-site jobs at oil refineries, power plants or whatever, they find out that that's where the bucks are, and quit... After a few months of being away from their families working 12 hour days with an hour commute both ways, working in the blazing sun or pouring rain, hauling analyzers and process calibrators up scaffolding, etc., they're ready to "come home" to the nice air-conditioned lab working 8 hours a day with weekends off and no shift work, even if it means going back to making what they did when they left...

I witnessed this happen in Atlanta a few years ago. You had GE, Electrorent, TMI, Simco & GTE all in one area and techs were hopping around so much that the salaries went up $5 to $6 an hour in 1 year.

Too bad that doesn't happen in Warner Robins. :-D
