They lose a lot of money because they are too focused on trying to get stuff done quicker. The problem with that is that they are either too cheap or don't have the funds to fully equip the shop. Waiting to use the overhead crane is kind of normal in any shop but having to hunt down tools or not having enough welding machines is frustrating. Apparently they don't have enough power to run more welders. They have about 6 MM 252 MIGS and only 2 stick welders. I was using a stick machine and someone else needed it so I had to grab a MIG machine. Lifted it out of a mud tank and then had to hunt through a jungle of cables, extension cords and torch hoses to find the power cord for it. Got it set it up and it didn't have a gun. Had to rob a gun off another machine. On the contrary, I've worked in shops where the day shift rolls all cables up and 15 minutes later the night shift rolls them back out in exactly the same place. The 10 hour shifts are 10 hour shifts. I've worked 10 hour shifts before where they've been a little lenient of coffee breaks or had an extra one. Not here, 30 minutes for lunch and 2 15 minute coffee breaks. It's heavy hard work and you're beat at the end of the day. I think I'm doing a good job even though I'm crawling around on the floor a lot. I shouldn't have told them I'm good with cutting torch. Dave
