Well Rusty , I have to agree with Chief. I went to work in an "American" factory 9 yrs ago after a lifetime of being self employed in Auto Body/Paint/Collision. Talk about culture shock! I have never seen so many "idiots" in one place. The factory culture is to do exactly what you are told. No less , no more and no questions or suggestions! Idiots in management are very insecure in their jobs. I have heard so many times , "'taint my job , I'm here 'till 3:30! , that's the way we've always dun it? , " must have been the new guy" , "that's what the print said"! , these idiots have more excuses than Carter has pills and THERE AREN'T ANY CONSEQUENCES for screwing up whether intentional or not. You would think it was a union place because you can't get rid of the rif-raff. I'm a group leader (7 guys) and my supervisor tells me (reguarding my request to "move" one of them) I don't have anywhere else to put him and I am not going to fire him. It bothers no-one to have to re-do things 3 times. This place has over 400 employees. 300 are idiots. Been here almost 10 yrs , retire (from there) in 5 mos. Good ridens! Most of these people couldn't function in a normal job. If other factories are like this one then this country is in more trouble than we think. As far as wages , makes no diff. It's a culture born of lack of consequences for ones actions or lack of. Even the ones that hired in and were real go-getters at first , were company broken within a year. If China/Japan etc EVER decide to get into the market of the machines we build , we are toast!

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
