I'm wondering what is the fair wage for a fellow who loads and unloads
a machine. Heavy stuff. Not a programmer or a machinist, but a sharp
fellow who is always at work on time, makes few mistakes and can be
depended upon to make quality work with little supervision. What
should I be paying?

Polymer Man:

Here is a site listing a number of machine operator jobs. Some in
Charlotte, some elsewhere in NC.

But the bottom line is that the lowest pay of this set is about $9.00
and the highest around $15.00. With most of them being in the
$10.00-$11.00 range.


Whirls a part there where your at what with my bean hear in the PNW but we
recently hired inna kid off the streets......

Hella a project...20 yo...trubbles with the law since a SO conviction (
classified level 1 low risk, accused of didling some foster care daughter at
the age of 12) Several MIP and PO hadda UA recently he failed--this just
prior to my hiring him sight unseen....I dont check, fate has it ended up
here (as it were).

( Get a real life or at least occasionally cook soup at the fucking homeless
kitchen , Kirk et al)

Antways he's doing fine, great in fact $9.50 hr with a .50 raise scheduled
for every 6mo he'll probly eventually leave here a much more mature young
adult and able to collect unemployment if needed and lets me do exactly that
which I so dearly love.

( Never actually fired anyone--I'm a pretty nice guy maybe but hell Im not
THAT nice )

He'll move on when it comes ( HIS ) time, something seems they always
eventually do.
