The worst time for quality is M-F when the doors open for work.
I know you may be trying at humor. But do you really believe that the good people (for the most part) that go to work each day at the average RV MFG plant actually go there to do a BAD JOB.
Is that what you did in your work? I don't think so. And I don't believe they want to do a bad job either.
I have had many many many people work for me over my career and I can tell you for sure 99.99% of all of them came to work to do the right thing and a good job.
Many factors intervene to make everyones work difficult. The system in place, Managements philosophy, time, poor planning, poor design all kinds of things can affect the assembly of large structures.
The time of year is not one of them...except at Christmas. Many plants have decided to close between Christmas and New Years as productivity falls because there are so many competing pressures on the workforce.
While I quoted you, my comments are intended for all of those who voiced similar opinions. It's a sadly cynical view of the American workforce. That in my view is dead wrong.
I didn't see his post the way you did at all. Many (not all) of today's workers do a fine job. But there are many who are just downright lazy and fall on laws, unions, etc. to get by and keep their job.
But that post to me was against the companies themselves. So many companies today find the key to success is pump out as much product as possible, even though it sacrifices quality. Losing one customer over quality is no problem to them as long as they can gain two new customers with flashy new things and big deals.
Look at the cell phone companies. The US is miles behind many other nations in cell service but as long as we stand in line for the next big iPhone with a 2 year contract, the cell companies have no reason to invest in better quality for the customer.
