Stan,
Just a few comments:
1. The devil you know is quit often better than the one you don't know. I & I don't know anyone that interviewed a new prospective company where the new company openly mentioned their short comings. They seem to paint a "bed o roses" & roll out the red carpet. On day one at the new job they lift the carpet & you see were the dirt was hidden. There is no Utopia! Even if your the King!
2. In an unrelated industry (commercial electrical work) my son is a journeymen electrician (& heaven forbid a Mason which I encouraged him to do). His company has been giving him 40 hours a week work steady for the last year. They bid jobs based on a no over time basis & if an employee turns in overtime pay without approval from one of the owners (3 of them) they are subject to dismissal as OT can affect the profitability of the job. On occasion he will work OT but not often. Maybe the same applies at your company when a service quote is issued to your companies customers.
Just food for thought.
