Why is morale so low?
Why are people so cynical?
It does not help when you have the managers telling A.M.E's that they have reached the peak of their career and will not have training.
AME: what are our chances of training within the next 3-6years?
Manager: I am not going to lie to you so, none.
AME: What? Why?
Manager: Basically, we want to change the current ratio of LAMES to AMES so we can be competitive compared to the rest of the market.
1999-2001 there was a whole bunch of training and most of those LAMES trained during that period will not be leaving for another 10-15years.
Basically... If you are happy earning a base wage of between $35,000 and $45,000 for the next 10-15 years then sure, join up.
