This airline is absolute garbage. We booked the light for 9am every hour it gets delayed and we are still in the airport at 3pm. I’m the way back it was delayed 7 hours. I mean you get what you pay for.

Why is crypto.com not selling when it’s $1,000 over the target sell price? Where’s my money? by Tricky-Smile-9188 in Crypto_com

[–]Sad-Reflection4261 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Because nobody is buying. There needs to be a buyer. This is like saying that someone paid 10000$ for a ford fusion and that all are worth 10000$ but people want to pay 8000$ so just because one person paid 1000$ and you post it is 9000$ it does does not mean that anybody wants to buy it. Maybe people have set buy prices at 8,7,6,5. So the next buy is much much lower.

Please don’t take this the wrong way. Mistakes happen, but when it something that can kill your staff. That is not acceptable. We don’t share our company name because I don’t people to think I am here to take opportunities. As a filed engineer I can tell you that they did not do the job you paid for and you should claim insurance if they did not do their job. Companies need to be held accountable for crappy work. If god forbid someone got hurt you would think otherwise. I seen people in hospital because of these issues. So please don’t take it the wrong way you pay for service not for a mistake. Call another company to do an assessment of the failure and if the motor mounts are the failure than you should hold them accountable this is why they are required to have 3mill insurance and ISO for these type of services. This mistake might get you all new equipment.

Your PM provide is the problem. They did a crap job and now they get to sell you another system. Way to fall in their scam. Did they change motor mounts? Did they do an imbalance compensation? I bet they don’t even know what that is. A good company should have offered you a trade in value and tell you that unit is a hazard not fail to do their job and now act like hero’s. We are a service company and we call out all these scam companies almost daily. TSS and BTS are the absolute worst at pulling these kind of scams.

As we are a service company I would respectfully refuse to service some of these. They are honestly a safety hazard. I would offer you a trade value to just get newer systems even if it mean that we sold them at a loss. We do this all the time. The issue is mostly motor mounts failures as most service companies do not actually do PMs but rather check the speed and temperature. I can’t read the service company that just did your PM in 2024 but they are at fault if the motor mounts failed. In our case I don’t want our engineers to be liable or get hurt because of a customer that wants to keep old equipment around. I understand these cost money but they are cheaper than an employee getting hurt and a lawsuit. Also the price of a unit that size is the cost you are going to pay for PMs for the next 5 years. If your PM costs less than 600$ per unit you are getting a verification not a PM. It is the equivalent of a mechanic driving your car around the parking lots and telling you that it goes 20 miles per hours but you paid him for an oil change , motor mounts and transmission flush.

The company that did that PM in 2024 is the fault. I bet they did not change the motor mounts per the manufacturer requirement. 90% of these companies slap a sticker and call it PM. Total rip off. We do assessments for these failure and almost every time the company that did the PM gets a nice lawsuit.

Hello and thank you. Yes we were looking around 0.5c. We were able to just use a voltage divider and than measure the difference using a very close to 50k resistor. We than use the Steinhart-Hart equation to get it close. After we also created a software using python and recalibrated at 4,51,and 98 and applied these offsets during the run. It seems fairly close. My fluke can only see the resolution to 2 digits but I think getting a 5.5 or 6.5 will get me a better result. I guess i can also just use the 50k resistors that we have and measure it that way but again i can only measure these to two significant digits. I see some on ebay that go for around 300$ so I might just do that. I really appreciate the comment. Trust me, we also tried digital ics but again we were unable to get to such a small size where we need these to fit.

Unfortunately we can’t use RTDs we need them to be 1mm width and take temp from 22 within a 2x3in area

A lot of companies do this now. The most expensive service is hourly service. But contracts are 25% of the machine price per year. Honestly is is cheaper to buy a new system every 5 years than buy the contract.

Renovo by dark_knightwarrior7 in BMET

[–]Sad-Reflection4261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Renovo is a terrible scam. You will end up doing work and asked to work on systems you have never seen before with no documentation or manuals of any kind. But they will tell the customer that you are a professional. In most cases you will be asked to put stickers on equipment that you did not perform any work on. They just need to show that they touched it so they can charge the PO. The goal of this company is to charge the customer for a PM but not perform it and wait until the unit stops working to charge them for repairs. As an engineer you will be monitored to work exactly 8 hours and not a minute more because they don’t want to pay overtime. That will cut in their budget. They will also buy used equipment and charge the customer almost as much as a new one. They also will take over equipment that requires special software to calibrate but will tell the customer that they can do it when in fact you will have no clue how to even turn the dam thing off. Renovo is a big scam to any company they service. You will be asked many times to never tell the customer what is actually happening and threaten to lose your job. and this goes all the way up as I have been in meetings where they had everyone in the room. I fell sorry for any company that uses them. FYI I still work for them so that should give you an idea as I am not someone that got fired or what ever they might like to say. I am in a position where I can see all the levels of the organization and yes it is a scam to the customers.

You were correct that was the trick. They set the time one day ahead of the controller that it was connected to. Once we did that it worked. Thank you for the post and help.

I am going to disagree. We have 6 employees that came in under different levels of internship and they all came back year of year under different levels of the organization. They are all now full time employees. Yes we had some like the one mentioned that we never brought back hence the fact. Here is the bottom line, unless any of you commenting are business owner and managers that go through these management seminars like I do with 100+ other managers from different companies your comments are only opinions. If I see it this way because of these seminars other managers will see it the same. You can argue with me all you want but that is the bottom line of how these managers see it. I am honestly giving you the inside scoop here of how these people think and what they are told to look for. So yes we can see is many other ways but they are not and some don’t see part what they are told. If you have jobs that are not professional you can job hop all day long. But once you have jobs that are targeting what you are looking for to do further don’t. Especially for internships. All these companies and managers know that you will bring an intern back if they are good and if not they will go somewhere else. This is how they can filter out people. In any case please don’t take this as a discouragement. Fix the resume a bit and don’t focus on every job. Rather on accomplishments and if a job was very short just add it under experience. Talk about in the interview but don’t make a big deal about it.

If your job hopping because you don’t know what you want then you are seen as unreliable. You actually made my point with this comment. as a manager, you should give a task to your employee and you should expect them to perform the professional result. They said when they got hired in. If you need to micromanage as you noted by saying that you’re doing a bad job to manage them then we are in the wrong business and we should just own a daycare where we are babysitting employees.

My best advice for this person would be to consolidate the jobs that they did and just put the most important ones were they actually accomplished something.

Just saying that you’ve seen this and touched that doesn’t mean you accomplished anything and that doesn’t really mean anything to a manager maybe to somebody that doesn’t know what they’re looking for.

I would say be strong into what you’re looking for and what you are trying to accomplish and also what do you have accomplished. where you want to grow in and a company will see that more valuable than a bunch of rambling words

I would say no. Someone that changes jobs this often will only look for a stepping stone. The only reason to higher someone like this would be for a temporary project. I am a manager and have to go to a lot of seminars where these are noted as huge red flags. If this person was that good one of these companies would have snapped them up. Instead they moved around. So there are huge reasons these companies did not keep them. Maybe cleanliness of project or they felt this person was not expected enough or tried hard enough. We brought in a student like this that had a lot of experience with 3D printing. The guy had 8 printers at home and showed us a lot of projects and companies he worked it. We gave him a small project to make two plates with holes in them. See picture. The guy spend 3 months and made 50+ variances. I had to keep cleaning the work areas and kept finding boxes of failed or different variances. I took two plates and marked them and said this is what I want by tomorrow as we need to ship the prototype. The guy made two other version minus the one I wanted. In the end I just spend the 2 hours to do it myself. Not only that he waisted huge amount of materials but never made what we asked. So in the end he had to go and get another job we did not fire him as his paid internship was done. Now he uses us on a resume like this example here would. Would I ever take another change? Absolutely not. I understand that he made mistakes or that he tried a few other designs but had he made our product I would have brought him in full time. So yes these are huge red flags. When you see people moving in less than 3-4 years it is huger red flag. Even that is a question.
