I love how management now assembles teams of employees then tell US to tell them how to run the plant. They just simply demand results instead of offering any helpful input, followed by, "No, we can't afford that.", "No, we can't do that either, 'cuz then we'd have to pay someone overtime.", "Hmmmm, that's an excellent idea.....but we're not going to do it, it costs too much.", "No, that won't happen either because engineering doesn't have the time.", "Good suggestion, I'll get back with you on that.....(Then you never hear from the lounge lizard again.)", "Those things are expensive, can't we just cobble together some junk from the boneyard and make it work?"

And then, when it inevitably fails------"Looks like we're gonna have to cut labor costs."

This is our future.

They are not innovators, they are professional lounge lizards, naysayers and shirkers of responsibility. "My business went under because the whole world is out to destroy me. Damn government....and workers.....and environmentalist.....and lesbians....a,a,a,a,and crab fisherman, YEAH THEM TOO!, ...they all hate me. That why my business failed." Industry will continue to slide down the commode, because industry bosses are a bunch of lazy, cheapskate republicans who think you can make astonishing progress without spending any money and forcing, or shaming someone else into doing all of their work for them.

"Oh, the plant is running like shit? Well, what are you gonna do about it guys? We can't have that. Let me know what you come up with. Call my cell, I'll be out at home, watching the guys build my pool."

Our competitors continue to gain ground, and will continue to do so until these clowns snap out of it. Germany for example, is one of, if not the most highly regulated countries in the world. My plant is filling up with German made machinery because it's the best and Italians don't like to waste time struggling with cheap American made junk. They've told us so.

Oh, I know. I just violated the sacred "American Exceptionalism" the sanctimonious right likes to blather on about. Sorry, but I don't care. Their way of doing things isn't going to work anymore. The world has moved on without them as they daydreamed about The Gipper and Howdy Doody.

I don't think it is purely cost of labor. I think the "crap" has a lot to do with it.

Shows you the direction in which we are heading. Pretty soon we will have WallyWorld move back because we will be dirt cheap employees.
You may be onto something here. I hate to admit it though.

See my last post post. Less of that, is what we need. We need less excuse makers. We need less doomsday politicians running their mouths, scaring the hell out of people. We need more business managers actually doing their jobs, and less of them playing the victim and crying like little punks is what we need.

Never voted "left" in my life. It was all just a jab at Rob. Us older guys need to poke each other once in a while..... just to stir the blood.
