Power Trip

KIRBSTER269
You know, I have seen more often, People on here going to great lengths and just, extra steps, on writing programs to keep others out of PC-DMIS and the programs. I think if you spent that effort teaching others, how it works, how it functions. Lets face it, the CMM is an instrument used for quality, If a person is in quality, do we hide Calipers, OD, ID mics, indicators, surface plates, blocks. I know there are people out there, who might think, That their job is threatened. Paranoid.Alien Then there are others who say, that's what the customer request, my hands are tied. Your customers are not at your place all the time, nor are you, what happens when something goes wrong, are you going to end your vacation and head back to fix it? are the customers going to come over and fix it? Last but not least, The power trip people, They have in their feeble little heads "I'm GOD, You will bow down to me and worship me, My intelligent level is superior to yours" The only thing I can say to those people is "S-h-i-t and fall back in it" Just my 2 cents for the day Rolling eyes

This is what got me saying what I said. I always said there are no dumb questions, just dumb answers. Well I might have to revisit that saying.

  • a person who makes no mistakes is a person who doesn't do anything. You make none? You have never had a probe break? PC-DMIS is chaos to begin with, I even had proven programs just crash. I have mentored lots of people some take longer than others, some put the cart in front of the horse, some can't even find the cart. That's why we have more than 1 copy of our programs. I put the proven ones there on the network drive, The ones that are run are on the local. Let them make mistakes the only way they'll learn. I talk to machinist all the time, I don't just hand them a report and say, its bad. I walk them through it, and explain them the report. Monkeys, give them a report, don't know what they are looking at, then machinist don't know what they're looking at. I didn't say release the gate and let them roam. If you're going to so much trouble to do this and do that, when are you going to take the time and actually check the part or train them. PC-DMIS can't protect from laziness, stupidity, or any other non-sense. I have come into work places the next morning with broken tips, HOW???? lack of time training, which the company kept saying we don't have time for that. Yet they allow untrained people run the CMM at night. They do have down time available, I guess. I will admit being a little paranoid myself. I see some questions that some people ask on here, I become concerned because what are they checking? Is it a aerospace part? is it safe to fly? Is it a car part? Is my front wheel going to fly off my car driving down the road? Even if you don't do anything wrong, bosses will still always want to point the finger at you. Because you cost the most money for the company, of course it's your fault. I'm a big boy, I can take a punch.

    Something you said there triggered me a bit. At the shop I work at, we are not allowed to talk to the machinists. We put the parts (good or bad) on a table for the machining manager to pick up and take back to the machinist. If the machinist has an issue, he talks to his supervisor who then talks to my supervisor who then talks to me. Information going through 2 extra people can get lost or misinterpreted and its ridiculous.

    Sorry, rant off.
