I was running maintenance for two cold storage plants -ammonia refrigeration. If things were not done right and you got a leak, people can die. On paper the company was doing the right things and certainly wanted it all done. But there was no way to get it done with the people/resources we had. Every year it was a justification battle to get capex approved and then by second quarter they were giving my budget to other facilities for emergency repairs. Then at the end of the year they'd wonder why the work wasn't done. :wtf: A lot of other managers said F it and just told them what they wanted to hear. But if something happened..."you signed off and said it was all good." :BangHead:
 
Too bad we can comment in classified ads, these are asking for a "that's what she said".... :D :BangHead:

Yep, they do that everywhere, even where I was...
They won't pay for the manpower to do it right, but then pencil whip the paperwork to fudge it, but if something goes wrong, management blames the workers.... :mob:

They don't bother to look at the maintenance sheets and calculate how long it will take to do each job and if there are enough guys scheduled to get that work done... They expect it to magically get done...
We would arrange for weekend work, then at the last minute they would do budget cuts and cancel our manpower that we needed to get things done... Then ask us why it didn't get done??? :mad:


Yeah, industry doesn't need regulation, they will take care of everything on their own... Trust us.... :rolleyes:

Makes it tough for an honest person to compete. I do think a lot of the blame is our lack of personal communication. It's too easy for people to lie there aZZ off when not face to face. So easy to be whoever you want to be on social media. Most reporting is check off 'yep, I did that' no back up. Emails to bosses that never get out from behind their computer. Nobody knows there is a problem till it's too late. Then those responsible BS their way out and move on. Look at all the CEO's that get a big severance and another big gig after they get busted. With examples like that why would 'the little guys' do **** right?

The day our society took a marked turn toward the liberal, everybody owes me something, I'm a victim mentality that we are living with today. The day when darkness fell over personal responsibility.. The day when it all became the government's fault. The day that individual desires became 'rights'. The day that doing right became wrong.. The day the music died.. Am I close?
