Starting a new job tomorrow

In this case both sides are right and wrong. Middle management doesn't know how to manage time and put us on the shop floor under the gun to rush things through.

In my experience management's job is to take the heat. The sign of a good leader is to take the blame and pass the credit.

That being said, like I've said, there's too many attitudes around here that suck on doing the job right. No pride in the work done.

The industry standard (set by places like Siemens, Kawasaki) is 20 buy back defects per car. We're averaging 200. For the most part this is experienced vets, with 20, sometimes 30 years experience building and refurbishing rail cars.
