GM 1500/Tahoe recall. Not good.

The last I seen the line workers all get profit sharing checks. There are always two sides to the story. Yep we got 1,500 last year a far cry from the bonuses the big boys pull down.

Of course, I suppose we could assume the line workers are not intelligent enough to know the more vehicles they put out the the higher the potential profit and they are all just patsies with no control of their actions and just putting out substandard work because they don't know better. Plus, they now own the company.
Sorry but you should stop listening to Fox News. Again for the slow kid, everyone on the line understands we have to sell quality cars to keep our jobs. The people that do not understand this are the management, supervisors to area managers. They have to account for every minute of downtime. They could care less if they build a quality vehicle or not. They only care that they hit or exceed their shift numbers. Good or bad makes no difference to them. You don't build 477 vehicles with "The tie rod threaded attachment to the steering gear rack in these vehicles may not be tightened to specification." unless every day MANAGEMENT did not allow the inspection check. /the other thing is the of calibration on the torque wrench was out of date.

As I said if they don't let me do my cals they have to sign off "Production refuses calibration. Date and time" Then and e-mail is sent to my boss, the head of quality, the three assistant plant managers and the plant manager. I'm the only Tool and Gage Tech that does this, but if $hit hits the fan the head hunters are not going to fire me, they are going to fire the clowns that caused the problem.
