NWI INGO General Post Part 20 - Raccons 4 Life!

Yeah. Tracked down a friend I worked with at Ford in the late 90s. Offered him more money to come work for me, and he did.

I forgot if I ever asked you.

You mess with the t56?

I don't think you did.
I've built/repaired quite a few over the years. I have kind of gotten away from messing with manual transmissions over the last few years however

Just wait till power stations can't get parts.
Right now, things are sometimes being adapted. Which cost more money.
So, if you're lucky, NIPSCO will cost more. If you're unlucky... rolling brownouts during the winter.

I think the ebook was called "1 second after" in which an Arabic terrorist manages to launch emp bombs over North America, Asia and Europe.

It was the lack of being able to get new transformers to thr cilivied world that kills most of earth's population during the first few winters.

I don't know how some of you guys work with Union folks. How does anything get accomplished at the mills? We moved some engineers starting last week. Took the electricians 2 days to unplug the computers, an autoworker 2 more days to move the computer to a different cubical, and then another 2 days days for an electrician to plug the computer into the new location. All the while we paid engineers to twiddle their thumbs. They will not let IT guys move equipment because that is a job autoworkers can do, and we can't plug anything into the outlet without being an electrician.

This **** is driving me insane. Now I know why vehicles with 4 grand in materials cost $50k base priced.

No, vehicles cost that much cause they pay people 6 figures to lower tools from the ceiling and Tighten a bolt.

No autoworkers don't make that much for lowering tools or tightening a bolt. Most autoworkers are like 45k a year or less. They are like 18 bucks an hour till they become team leads, or till they are there forever.

The good mill workers get the bulk of whatever work they come into done early or spread across the turn leaving just the stuff that materialized during the turn to finish at the end but the slugs F off for the first 7 hours and have to hump it all out the last hour to get out on time.

Any deals to be had? I would buy one if I could get a deal on one.

You could message Ryan Brewer

Huh?? I have several friends and family working at ford, not a single one makes less than 100k/yr

 

[actaeon277]

I think I broke 100k once.
with a buttload of overtime and no life at home

Oh hell no. Wendy has one and I'm not interested in an expensive toy unless it has two wheels and knobby tires.

We don't get the "incentive" that you guys get.
Plus, I only get maintenance incentive, not production incentive.

 

[actaeon277]

First day back from vacation tomorrow. And I'm scheduled 4 shifts.
Which is only because the boss through out the rules.
If I was scheduled "correctly", I'd have 7 shifts, even with the 2 vacation days.

 

[actaeon277]

Glad I got the lights up when it was warm.
Went outside today for the first time in a few days and bbbbrrrrrrrrr.

But.. I didn't get the gutters done.
Maybe if it's a bit warmer later?
