Great deal on cutters was a fabulous idea!!

Boss refuses to buy carbide endmills. Been buying these cheap $12 1/2 inch endmills. So far this week I've scraped $1000 in parts and have to remake a fixture due to this killer deal on endmills. They are breaking in the holder at the set screw. So instead of just snapping off they break but stay in the holder long enough to destroy everything.

 

Mondayest Wednesday ever

So, he basically refuses to stay in business? I wouldn't last more than a week at a place like that. It would eat at my soul, like a cancer of the spirit.

Story time. ... bosses are my aunt and uncle, if she let's him say he's boss. They make 400k a year personally. So that argument about how they are still in business is out of the window for me to argue. Trust me I wonder everyday how this all pans out,are scrap rate is high, we pretty much have one customer,goodrich, which has red tagged us cuz of horrible delivery time and consistent issues with misinterpreted features on parts. Our spindles run maybe 70% of the 10 hour work day. Boss refuses to let me run multiple parts on a setup,even after I proved out how I could save 26 hours on a 500 piece order.instead he wants to us to come in on the weekend cuz we are salary.

 

Other than that, I'm happy with my job.

I get an above average salary ,401k and full medical for my family.

 

But is it wrong for me to want to do a better,more productive job?

you should be able to see the mill turn finishing the hex on these nuts tomorrow.

there's only two kinds of beer; free and cold.

he is begging to be taken to the labor board.

70% up time on verticals is actually pretty decent.

Thankfully I got switched back to hourly In Hopes that I would show up on weekends and holidays. Guess what I don't lol.

 

I have no problem putting in the hours needed,but when the boss refuse to try and get things running efficiently Iam not coming in to pick up his slack.
