I was only at this job for a couple months. I signed my voluntary quit paperwork after my dad passed away over the holidays in 2022. My dad retired from the foundry and I've been taking the loss hard. The foundry just reminded me of him alot and it was effecting my work, so that's why I quit there. I don't normally quit jobs.
This was my most recent job. Shooting steel shot at parts fresh from being poured at John Deere foundry to clean away sand that would be burnt in from the molds they're cast in. Authorized to work in the US for any employer
