#bama might need your help

Wow...wonder if that has anything to do with their glorious engine problems. I did a number of motors working for kia and you should have seen some of the nonsense that we had to deal with. I had a remanufactured gdi motor come in with the wrong camshafts installed. Found out after the motor was installed and there was no lobe to run the high pressure fuel pump smh. Part of the reason i had to get away from them. On another note what kinda work you do slim, I may be interested lol

 

I'd bet big that them kids were the best workers in the whole facility. Give them youngsters green cards and they will be running the place in a few years.

 

Oh..that may be a little beyond my sub-par high-school education slim lmao.
Ben you probably aren't wrong. I was more or less getting at the fact that they bust out all this work with inadequate teachings mixed with a not so great qc and they will stock the shelves full, with parts that may or may not work. Not blaming the youngins they just doing work and prolly don't know no better

 

Rod bearing wear on a car with barely 80k on it. 6 month wait list to get it replaced under warranty. Gal said "i get 50 of thses calls a month" God bless those gdi motors...

 

Sounds about right and I'd bet good money her claims are no exaggeration. Things seem to drop like flies and they came in waves. You couldn't get them boxed up and sent back before you had more coming in the door. That was a couple years ago. Talked to a couple guys n9t long ago that said it hasn't slowed down yet. Solid engine r&r's for at least 10 years now. But at least they stand by that 100k powertrain warranty.

 

I got this big add at the top of my page that won't go away so I can't see what it's about lol. I can only see everything from BTK post and down. What the Frick is with these huge adds anyway ?

 

This country is doomed . It's no answer that I can see . Good jobs available 30 plus a hour and no takers . I don't get it.

 

I could quit my job tomorrow and have another by the end of the day in the same field.

 

Idk what's up with the Hyundai plants those are not down my way but they use to pay a decent salary if I remember right. Who knows ,just trying to find cheap labor I suppose.

 

Lol

 

Closest one to me is Montgomery and that's 2 hours lol. The workers around here ain't taking shit . Look at one wrong and they will quit . Down the street last week a 22 yr old just walked out and quit out of the blue . Was making 22 or 23 bucks a hour said fuck yall lol . His boss calls me asking if I know anyone ? Nope

 

Crazy thing about this kid last week that quit on thos guy is the dam kid was smart. He was working for John Deere so a good company with good benefits. He picked up on parts like nothing . Nothing stumped him . Just said fuck it one day last week and walked lol

 

We have a similar system. Get hired at this price, do your indepth(company term) on your "skill" they'll give u $2(remember they're paying unskilled ppl the skilled price already and letting them earn it later) get your #2 it's close to $5 more so on and so forth up to level 5.

Our issue now is gate keepers. "Well I got hired at a zero you got hired as a level 1, fuck you" type attitudes. We had a HEATED conversation about a certain person requiring you to do a task 5 times before he'd sign off your skill. Only issue is I know who trained him and he hasn't done some things once let alone 5 times. He's upset he didn't get hired at a level 1 and had to earn it so he won't let anyone earn their #2 through him.

Same guy who when he gets a new hire bitches moans gripes and complains that he needs to hurry up and get them to where they can break him out for an hour at a time. Once u can he quits training you.

They gave dude a back up lead position and it's only gone down hill since. I got told calling someone "star fucker" and "lazy fuck bag piece of shit" was unacceptable when I jumped his ass about taking four 1 hour breaks and going to pre and post shift meetings(1st hour of shift and last hour of shift) while his new hire barely gets a 30 min lunch in a 8 hour day.

I can see why some of these folks don't want to work in that environment. It's hard to watch some attention seeking cunt of a man block you from moving up because they're mad a policy changed after they were hired.

 

Our was the same. Impossible to get hired on and when you do youre retiring from here. They had an SAT type test you had to take before they'd hire you also.

Then staffing quotas came. The test got dumbed down then so did requirements to get hired.

Covid changed everything. No test and if you pass the drug test and physical you have a job. A great job at that. I could go on and on about our benefits, pay scale, skills taught etc etc etc. But most folks don't want to work the taxing schedule.

We're hiring 60 year old men, 350lbs 5' women and kids straight out of high school who call in because "their stomach hurt". Our skill level has steadily plummeted to the point if you 2 ppl that have have 2 indepths(the bare minimum they require without moving up) each in one area you are the highest skilled team in the plant.

I don't see the company maintaining at this rate honestly.
