Power Trip

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.

  • My situation is probably unique to others on the forum. I will be retiring the end of the year. The group I am in was tasked to program for 2 generations of product. Just layout inspectors using the various equipment to ensure quality and compliance.

    Zoom forward 10 years and now we are being phased out and tasked with training set-up personnel to do our job. They range from no computer experience to experienced (and dangerous). Most don’t want to do this (except for enjoying the A/C) since they will still do set-up and repair work at the same time.

    imagine trying to train people in maybe 12 weeks how to read prints, understand gd&t, do surface finish checks using a profile meter, using a contour reader to measure features, do secondary checks to correlate cmm oot’s, use comparator, mics, verniers, toolmakers microscope, gage pins, do set-ups, qual the cmm, change out damaged probes, escape from crashes or mistakes, etc etc etc.

    Lock it up? Hell, blow it up.

    Did I mention that we inspectors will be trained to become toolmakers/mold makers? Yeah, go to night school and everything. Essentially an apprenticeship. There’s 1 in out group under 50 years old. The next is 57.

    Bitter? Probably.
