Meet Jean-Pierre

From the very beginning, the job kept me captivated because of the promising career opportunities and the competitive salary. And that has remained the case. Moreover, there’s a significant degree of autonomy / freedom. If you are capable, they leave you alone and they give you the chance to prove yourself. The approach is not suited for everyone of course. Additionally, the job offers a great deal of variety. It is never the same: even if you assemble a thank ten times, it’s always in a different way with its own challenges. The rise of the computer has also changed a lot, which fascinated me. That's why I took the initiative to learn how to use drawing programs independently, studying at home and seeking guidance at the office. Sem taught me how to operate these programs, and in turn, I imparted my knowledge to him on assembly techniques.

Working long hours was a regular occurrence for me, often at the expense of spending time with my family. While it allowed me to earn a good income, it sometimes meant missing out on important moments with my loved ones. There were occasions when I had to cancel plans with my wife, like motorcycle rides, because of work commitments. I am grateful for my wife's unwavering support throughout these times. It’s a choice we made as a family. Times have also changed. As a service provider, especially in operations, flexibility is a requirement. However, over time, this has become less extreme, and more consideration is given to people’s personal preferences, to the extent possible

Personally, I don’t mind putting in the hours, because I love my job. I can work until the minute I go to bed. However, when I decide it's time to call it a day, I can switch off completely. Some say I treat Samoco as my own company, and indeed, it has become a significant part of my life. I can’t quite explain how deeply rooted it is in me. The idea of retirement is daunting because I know I’m going to miss it!  .
