February of 2024 I officially stepped up on PCF to fill the 3D printed product demands where @One Eyed Dollar left off.
How that was possible-
For the last 3-1/2 years I have been in coast mode working what was at the time my dream job Part time, 3 days per week any hours and days I wanted with few exceptions. Pay was good and it left plenty of time for family, hobbies, and selling 3d printed products to support my new poker chip addiction.
Unfortunately the culture at work changed drastically over the last year. New boss, large pay cut, and drastic workforce reduction. I tried to make the most of it as long as I could but decided to start applying for new jobs Jan 1st to see what's out there.
My eyes were opened with multiple excellent offers. I had a hard time turning them down but did in hopes my boss would restore my original pay and things would get better this year.
Things at work have been on a steady downhill spiral and offers kept coming in better and better.
Yesterday I accepted a new position too hard to pass up that I will be easing into part time over the next few months to verify its the right move.
I will be working part time both places until I'm ready to cut ties with my current employer which I have a feeling will be pretty quick. At that time I will be going full time at the new position.
When that happens I don't see how I will be able to make it to the post office during their business hours besides on Saturdays due to the new work schedule.
I have taken pride in trying to provide a quick processing time on orders.
I will no longer be able to offer next day shipping on existing stock or as quick processing time.
I have created an abundance of my own product designs and have a fairly organized list of those items on my sale listing. Ben had an awesome website and ordering method in place while I preffered the more personal communication method.
I am curious if anyone out there wants to take over where I will most likely have to leave off shortly?
Someone that can take this to the next level filling the future needs of the PCF community.
I also have a pretty large stock of items on hand yet.
If you may be the next one to step up to the plate send me a message and let's see where this can go.
