    I love knowing someone higher up.

    So recently I have been hearing things about customers for the company I work for getting pissed. So I started asking questions on why to a friend I know that is a manager/supervisor/manufacturing engineer! This is probably the funniest shit ever. This is me telling my friend about it. I found it funny.

    This is what happens when a company trys to save money:

    *BTW We make stuff for airplanes*

    (11:01:37 PM) Ikith: I'm afraid I might lose my job soon
    (11:01:48 PM) Friend: Why is that?
    (11:02:04 PM) Ikith: Well I work at my dads work so I get to hear all the fun stuff
    (11:02:10 PM) Ikith: About the quality of work
    (11:02:22 PM) Ikith: How the company is currently in a downward spiral
    (11:02:42 PM) Ikith: How the people we are hiring don't know what the shit they are doing
    (11:03:10 PM) Ikith: How people NOT CAN'T because they can... But don't read the drawings or specs on the parts we make
    (11:06:03 PM) Friend: So the company is going under because of people's incompetence?
    (11:06:10 PM) Ikith: Yes
    (11:06:12 PM) Ikith: OH
    (11:06:16 PM) Ikith: Forgot a good part
    (11:06:22 PM) Ikith: and the reason we are getting shitty people
    (11:06:30 PM) Ikith: is because we want to keep the cost of labor down
    (11:06:31 PM) Ikith: BUT
    (11:06:39 PM) Ikith: by doing that we are actually spending more money
    (11:06:45 PM) Ikith: because we have to remake parts
    (11:06:56 PM) Friend: Heheh. Ironic.
    (11:07:01 PM) Ikith: So because of shitty people
    (11:07:06 PM) Ikith: We not only make the part once
    (11:07:09 PM) Ikith: we make it 3 times
    (11:07:22 PM) Ikith: and scrap the first couple thousand on the first 2

    Crap you can move this to spam I thought it was already in spam !

    It's not the fault of shitty people, it is the fault of the morons who hired them and didn't fire them.

    Sadly, it is most likely it is all a ploy to move the manufacturing to China or India.

    I think that if this happened we would lose 100% of the customers we have now. We do shit for various airlines and even if we are pissing them off they are getting the 100% custom parts they want from us. However at the same time I'm afraid that it may come down to whos valuable to the company and whos not then laying the shitheads off. I'm not saying I'm a general target but since we hire from a temp agency I am very disposable at this point !

    You know, the problem really is this. For centuries, probably even millinia, at work, people have been talking shit about their coworkers.

    Gregorious doesn't know how to hold a fucking plow properly, so we're going to replace him with a mule.

    Its nothing new. It's part of the cycle of economic evolution for companies to hire incompetent people, who gain experience over a long period of time (or get fired) and then they start putting down the new hires. It's just how it is. Don't sweat it.

    Is that a mutual company or stock company?

    The reason I ask is because that has been the trend with all stock companies the last 20 years or so.
