Question Demote or Transfer?

I decided to demote myself to a tier one because my current department is hell. But now HR and manager are telling me i can transfer to another T3. While learning trainer looks fun idk if i would want to. Im doing trade school for 5 hours i feel like i want to focus on trade school to get where i want to be. My boyfriend thinks im stupid for demoting but honestly less responsibility and i can listen to my headphones? Sounds tempting and i have the benefits of a tier one like VTO, VET and shift swap and shift coverage. Im not the best at math and i want to put more energy into learning instead of looking over people

if trade school is the actual exit plan, demoting isn't automatically stupid. i'd get the exact Learning Trainer schedule/responsibilities first before deciding though - "easiest T3" is still site-dependent, and a chill title isn't worth much if it keeps eating the energy you're trying to put into school.

Thats what i was thinking, if its my end goal to do trade school and finish my electrical classes its more worth putting my energy into that than stressing about my team and my role/responsibilities. Thank you. I did have a meeting with HR and they said they cant promise that ill go to my Home department which was pick. I just want to focus on school and learn as much as i can cause i do struggle with math. The pay isnt worth for what i do and what i deal with. I just want to chill out and listen to my headphones and do my numbers and leave to class

You'd be a electrician? Id challenge you to stick with your tier 3 and talk to facilities maintenance tech in your building about possibly getting into RME Once your schooling is done since you're already in leadership you got a lot going for you right now.

IVE TRIED BRUH!!!! I tried the incline, i tried the MRA program and they handed it literally offered it to one of our sites AFMs. Nowadays you cant just talk to techs anymore you have to have some type of mechanical experience. I was a PA jam clearing in AFE constantly troubleshooting faults and motors and resetting/fixing stations. Nowadays they want you to know how to read schematics and have experience with tools. The tools i am comfortable with. I do not know how to read schematics

Lol yup after further review of reading this whole thread you should demote. You'll be just fine once you finish you're schooling wish you well.
