Actually in a non-insane world I would of been given the initial role and not asked to give up all benefits for a medium increase in pay. Company stance was previous technician was a contractor, so replacement should be a contractor. So I was expected to just give up all my benefits and hope they get restored some time in the future.
Speaking of employees as investments, every employee had to have “goals” each year. He added the requirement that one of the goals had to some form of training. No not the regular training you were required but something extra. For example training class from a manufacturer of a system we used or a industry training like a lean manufacturing certification or cqt/cqe certification. Since it was an official “goal” he could get budget for it(with in reason). No other manager in the company to my knowledge did anything similar.
Sorry, I guess I’m not old enough to have any real concept of a sane workplace, I’ve literally only just heard about how it used to be from various old timers, or attempted to study it, read about it in books and such.

You’re right, that would make even more sense.
Believe me that place was not sane… Maybe not as crazy as other places but certainly not sane.
