Well Rusty , I have to agree with Chief. I went to work in an "American" factory 9 yrs ago after a lifetime of being self employed in Auto Body/Paint/Collision. Talk about culture shock! I have never seen so many "idiots" in one place. The factory culture is to do exactly what you are told. No less , no more and no questions or suggestions! Idiots in management are very insecure in their jobs. I have heard so many times , "'taint my job , I'm here 'till 3:30! , that's the way we've always dun it? , " must have been the new guy" , "that's what the print said"! , these idiots have more excuses than Carter has pills and THERE AREN'T ANY CONSEQUENCES for screwing up whether intentional or not. You would think it was a union place because you can't get rid of the rif-raff. I'm a group leader (7 guys) and my supervisor tells me (reguarding my request to "move" one of them) I don't have anywhere else to put him and I am not going to fire him. It bothers no-one to have to re-do things 3 times. This place has over 400 employees. 300 are idiots. Been here almost 10 yrs , retire (from there) in 5 mos. Good ridens! Most of these people couldn't function in a normal job. If other factories are like this one then this country is in more trouble than we think. As far as wages , makes no diff. It's a culture born of lack of consequences for ones actions or lack of. Even the ones that hired in and were real go-getters at first , were company broken within a year. If China/Japan etc EVER decide to get into the market of the machines we build , we are toast!

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
