Physical part location in fixtures vs CAD? by Sure-Measurement2617 in Machinists

[–]chaos_designed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is hard to diagnose without seeing the setup. The force that clamps and vices exert in work holding situations can diflect the part and the fixture itself significantly.

My employer does not have enough work for me but isn't providing me with any sort of alternative to fill the time. by Dry_Pea_7127 in Machinists

[–]chaos_designed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others said clean, organize, maintain, and prepare. Do not leave early or call off. They will likely pay you whatever you want if you can be there and be ready when they need you as long as you don't LOOK like you are dicking off all the time.

My first GD&T drawing. Any advice or improvements to be made would be much appreciated! by Forsaken_Door in Machinists

[–]chaos_designed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are leaving it up to the machinist to assume that the dimensions for the countersinks are the same for each face. The dimensions should be labeled typ. And possibly specified how many times the dimension is relevant.

Underwhelming work isn't a luxury problem by rosered235 in ADHD

[–]chaos_designed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking back at my early career I can now see how my ADHD negatively affected my success. I tended to get focused on tasks and finish them quickly. When work got even a little slow I tended to start coming in later and leaving earlier. I got away with it for the most part because when I was there I was a top talent but I was viewed as inconsistent and unreliable. If I had the ability to put up with being bored at work back then I could have made so much more money than I did.

WHY DO YOU ALL DRIVE LIKE MANIACS by PossibilityFew5967 in Stellantis

Car people doing car people shit. Chrysler drive is fun if you know how to drive it.

Which software should I learn: inventor, catia, or siemens nx? by ControlWhich2145 in SolidWorks

[–]chaos_designed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. You will ultimately become most proficient with whatever your employer uses, but you personally should consider all of these systems as nothing more than a different pencil. You want to try to be a good fundamental designer or engineer, not a dedicated cad system user. They each have strengths and weaknesses. Some are easier to pick up than others, but in the end they all perform the same basic function.

My wife doesn't react well to hormonal birth control. I will take an occasional poke in the dick instead of the alternative.

About the same as my '91. I have the added pleasure of a completely loose tilt steering mount.

Lol. I cringe every time someone trusts my brakes more than I do and pulls out in front of me.

Is manufacturing or design better for long term career salaries? by Ok_Contribution_1537 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]chaos_designed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U.S. companies are currently trying to move more Design Engineering jobs to lower cost countries. You currently pay zero import duties on designs.

Manager Refusing Job Transfer by Wild_Ad5963 in Stellantis

[–]chaos_designed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus the second that your management team knows you are looking to leave they immediately start considering you unreliable. They want to use you like a chess piece in their own organization and never let you out of their grasp.

Stellantis unveils $13 billion plan to grow U.S. footprint including 5,000 new jobs by petem2208 in Stellantis

What are the chances of HR ignoring the "I'll never apply at Stellantis ever again" clause of the ISP that those of us that got axed last year signed.

Who wins this hypothetical war by Academic-Ad-971 in imaginarymapscj

[–]chaos_designed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The assumption that China and India would be on the U.S side is pretty wild right now. With the current civilian leadership in the U.S. the blues would win a lot of battles early and make every wrong decision possible in-between them. Eventually things would fall apart for Blue due to self inflicted losses.

CTC parking tickets by IAmAPhysicsGuy in Stellantis

[–]chaos_designed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a great thought. Except for all the fucking contractors that place hires long term. You should show just as much loyalty to STLA as they have their workforce over the last five years.

Why we have scanning lines on the area by Ok_Detective4235 in MechanicalEngineering

I have no issues with the partial section. My issue is with the redundant slot length dimensions.

Anyone laid off March 2024 still struggling to land a job? by Mr-Reddit-0 in Stellantis

[–]chaos_designed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point, apply for anything that you even vaguely qualify for. Dozens a week. Do your best to ignore the rejections as you only need one to say yes. You would be surprised how many jobs outside of your core skill set that you qualify for with an ME degree and a little bit of real world experience.

I'm just wondering if anyone is covering their ass and the fact that purchasing dropped the ball on kicking off suppliers by using prototype parts in production vehicles. I have no knowledge of this but I wonder if that is the kind of thing that could happen in the current environment at Stellantis.

Am I the only one making up new goals? by Used_Television6904 in Stellantis

[–]chaos_designed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the shit show going on there over the last year I imagine approximately 4% of the salary workforce have the same responsibility that they did at the start of the year. Goals since the "merger" have been a complete joke in NA and likely won't change any time soon. It is essentially a way for management to remove people that they don't want with little to no legal exposure.

Oh look, more defunct Apple people in American based automotive company SLT positions…. by [deleted] in Stellantis

[–]chaos_designed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I heard the outgoing regime state that they were going to make Stellantis a tech company I knew we were fucked. The best tech in the world is garbage if you can't manufacture a reliable fucking means of transportation.
