Once again you have sunk to the personal attack, having no logical arrows in your quiver, Troll.

Just for shiggles, why don't you explain to us all exactly what was the point of Lester's amusing parody. Here's a hint. It wasn't gun control.

  That one thing I like about living in America and not working for your company.  I don't have to explain a damn thing to you.  I may have arrows and a quiver to carry them around in, but I don't beat the hell out of people with the company rule book.  Which HR people use as effective as a gun, knife or a bow and arrow.  Human Resources is a con game used on the employees to make them think they have someone on their side.  Not so.

Gee Troll, we have more in common that I thought. I feel the same way about unions.

Gee Troll, we have more in common that I thought. I feel the same way about unions.

  In making that statement, I can tell you have never have been a union member.  I for one think, if you don't know how something works, people should keep their mouths shut.  Nothing shows a persons ignorance faster than someone talking about something he or she knows nothing about.  I know something about Human Resources and how they treat people.  Especially Lowes HR service.  It's a joke.  Ask anyone who works at Lowes and Walmart.

  The Troll, a happy and devoted UAW union worker for 38 years and I love everyday of my retirement pay for what they did for me.  Thanks UAW and thanks Ford Motor Company.

Troll, don't beat up on yourself for not knowing what you are talking about. You would have no way of knowing that I was once a card carrying member of the UAW too. Local 823 to be exact. I welded the optional rear seat for the Ford Bronco, the handle for the Bronco swing-away tire carrier (also an optional feature) and Chrysler bucket seats around the same time you started I guess. I had just turned18 when I started, how old were you?

  What did you do quit, get fired, get laid off.  You surly didn't retire from the company.  If you didn't do any of these and you did retire with a company and union pension.  What in hell are bitching about.  Hummmmmmmmmmmm?

  It sound like a little sour grapes to me.  I was 21.  Started by unloading the assembly line.  Got a union industrial pipefitter/ plumber apprenticeship and spent 38 years with Ford Motor Co. in Indianapolis.

What happen to your job?  Out sourced over seas or to Mexico or Canada.  My plant was.  It is hard to believe that at one time the Indianapolis steering gear plant made all of the steering gears for of Ford brand cars and trucks and employed over 4500 men and women.  All gone and out sourced.  God bless the Republicans.

They laid everyone off, shut down, changed name, and opened back up. They had done it once before and had done it again since, I think they are out of business now unless you want to relocate south of the border.  Anyone hired back lost their seniority. By the time they called me I was on a drill crew drilling oil wells.

Did you ever use a shaper Troll? When I was a machinist they were on the way out. It was one of my favorite machine tools.

  I was not trained a a machinist, but use some tools to rebuild pumps, pump shafts, pump couplings, valves and many other items.  I had to use one once to make a spacer for a old old pump.  The shaper we had in the rehab crib, we rebuilt old machines from the ground up, this shaper was a old one.  It came down from Detroit.  They said, Ford had at one time used it to build Model T.

  But oh my god what big blue hot chips it would make.  You sure didn't want to get one down your shirt collar, I know, you could smell the burnt flesh and it burnt itself into my chest.  Why do you ask.

Because only a true old timer would know what a shaper was. Yeah those hot chips were nasty. Other than a broach, I don't know of another machine tool that will cut an internal keyway. Now days most all the machine tools are made in China. Bridgeport clones were just being imported hot and heavy when I left the field. Unlike American made Bridgeports mills that had aged castings, those Chinese jobs with their green bases would ring like a bell when taking a heavy cut. I really don't think the Chinese are very good at inventing things but they can sure copy other people's stuff good. At least they look just the same but are made with cheap materials.

uh-huh, like launching into a revisionist sermon supporting gender bias and violent fantasies in response to an absolutely hysterical distortion of the poster for a Quaker (Quaker's are pacifists, in case you didn't even get that reference) Oats product.  Seriously, Troll, most times you look better if you just nod at the winners as they bounce past.

That and practice ehat you preach Troll. If you knew anything about HR, then you'd know how they save managers AND unions from themselves to protect the employees and the organization....

  Then why, on the web that you HR people are so little thought of.  Just goggle in "people who hate Lowes and also Walmart have such a low opion of you people.

  I have friends who worked for Lowes and Walmart and they say the HR people are the lazy bunch of assholes they ever seen.  Set in their office doing nothing and if you ask them for something, even if it an easy one,  the answer is no, no, no and then they get out the rule book and show you that it says no.  Come around and tell you every day, you must work harder, because they got their eye on you.

  Is just like being a member of a company owned union.  It's always about the company never about the employee.  One person at Lowes said you guys favorate word is NO, NO, NO,  that way you covered your ass.  Tell me it not true.  I know it is.
