CMM programmer demoted to CMM inspector

Hi Everyone,

I was hired as a CMM programmer in January and last week my manager that hired me left for another company. The new manager that they hired is always listening to whatever the supervisor that runs the quality department tells him. So if there is a hot part that he wants to be inspected, my new manager will pull me off a programming job and I will have to run the CMM. My manager also told the quality supervisor to use me if he needs help and now he is taking advantage of the opportunity. The quality supervisor is also having me check part marking and certs. I tried to bring up the situation to my manager and he just tell me that the quality supervisor needs extra help. My old manager always has me focus on programming and I have never had to run the CMM. Have anyone here ever been in a situation like this? I am worried that my programming skill will go down over time if I don't practice enough. I just started this job and I can't just leave for another company after one month because it will look bad on my resume. I know that there is a lot of shops looking for CMM programmers here in Canada.

    Could be nice, as long as it pays the same Sunglasses. Although, there are a lot of old screwed up programs where I work (from before my time here :rolleyesSlight smile. There are too many new parts and not enough programmers to go back and fix them. I feel bad for the operators who have to make them work.
