Hello. I haven't been on this forum in several years due to having been working in places that had veteran machinists working alongside me and because I made a career shift to manufacturing engineering/laser turret programming. I recently was laid off from the laser turret programmer engineering job and was offered a job as a machinist in a tool room for a plastic extrusion company. I am having major anxiety taking this gig because I haven't touched a machine in years and the tool room has no veteran guy there to learn from. I'm th most experienced guy there and it's in an industry that I know very little about. Does anyone else deal with anxiety like this when starting a new job? How do you deal with it if you do? And also anyone know of any plastic extrusion die makers on here I can ask for advice? Or wire EDM programmers? Or surfCAM programmers? I've also never used any of these machines or this program. The company is aware of this because I told them so in the interview but they still offered me the job.
