at the same time an unhappy employee tends to make less desirable work quality wich in turn makes the employer have to deal with an unhappy customer wich often then makes the employer less patient wich makes the employee unhappy about its job wich makes him less carefull about its job wich make the employer unhappy about the response of the customer about the sub quality product he received
on the other hand a happy employee that makes a great job because he is proud to work were he work will turn out great part that make the customer happy and the employer happy that all he had to do is excuse itself about maybe a slight delay if any and thats it.
but in the other scenario the unhappy customer might stay with the shop but might also try to find another shop in the long run.
so basically its the same thing with any other scenario solve the problem at the base of the pyramid if the top block is falling because the base is cracking dont just replace the top block repair the base.
now one might say "ok then fire the machinist and hire a new guy" this might solve the problem for good or just temporarily if the guy was a jerk who always complain no mater what to start with then yes you will have solved your problem but if the guy was a truly good worker and that he was just unhappy about it condition then the solution will just be temporary as you will probably to start all over again with the new guy after a while

-machinist/cnc programmer (somebody you can basically leave alone in the shop to program all the cnc equipment, make parts, etc.)
i dont know about in the us but here
-draftperson = ~15$/hr to start if you get minimum experience
-entry level machinist = 9$-12$/hr
-machinist = 10$-15$/hr
-machinist/cnc operator = 13$-20$/hr
but that depends on the region and the need for them and the cost of life were you are, i have a friend of mine who went to work in Alberta at the same time i started working here in Quebec when i did my cnc operator course and he started at 22$ and i started at 13$ but living in Alberta were he was, was costing him alot more then me so he was making maybe 1$-2$ more then me if we put the cost of life to the same level
