Fun at the Refinery: It's Like Anthropology of the Stupid.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

Other than kilns and vats, I have no idea what kinds of machines you have there, so I just made one up that sounded like the kind of thing you would have. In my imagination, your plant is full of nightmare machines, machines with teeth and whirly bits and rotary razorblade assemblies and jets of gaseous acid.

Pretty much.

It's like Disneyland for sickos.

It sounds like a dream come true.

Yep.  Mostly because I get paid to be a prick.

O.o This Mike guy sounds like he's a candidate for the Darwin Awards. If he just applied himself a little bit more.

[Phox]

 

[Adios]

I fully expect one of these stories to end with "After Mike crossed the red tape, he tripped and fell into the $700,000 centrifugal acid grinder."

I hope not.

1.  The product would spike in calcium.

2.  We don't have a machine named that.  I wish we did.  We DO have some giant ball mills that ARE horrible grinders, but he's too fat to fit in.

3.  Paperwork.  Oh, dear God, the paperwork.

Some sacrifices are worth it in the long run.

"Hey, Mike...That arrogance of yours comes cheap!  Only a $10,000 instrument and a ruined batch!"

This is disgusting, that prick will probably squeeze that back out of the people below him. People like that deserve to be shot.

It's the kind of thing that he would do, yeah.

[East Coast Hustle]

Fuckin hilarious.  

$10,000?  If blatant disregard for established safety plans wouldn't get me fired from this place, then destroying a $10,000 piece of equipment BECAUSE of said disregard most certainly would.

how's this guy still employed at your company?

You pretty much have to fail a drug test, get in a fist fight, or get caught stealing to get fired, here.  Hell, one of my mechanics gets all fucked up once a month and drunk-dials my boss.

You need to need a new cafeteria manager.

He hasn't got anyone below him.  He has been banned from managing by the president of North American operations.

[Juana]

I would find another job, in his shoes.

So what does he do? Aside from being retarded.

He engineers solutions without any input from people who know what's going on, takes any suggestions as an attack on his competence, and rides his plans down in flames.

And he gets paid to do this?

I want his job. I could probably do it better than him.

99% of engineers do this.

It's the other 1% who keep the lights on.

You can tell which camp you'll be in, should you go into engineering, BTW.

Considering that everything "stupid engineer" does boggles the fuck out of me still.

I only post the highlights.  It's like the fucking special olympics, here.
