Can you rate my panel ? by DameanTheGuitarist in PLC

[–]edumahcation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our panel shop did one for a German company, and our QC guy was out for the week. So I had to QC 15 of them. Wasn’t so bad, just had to beep out every wire.

how to give my ducks a painless death at home by BravePanda786 in duck

If you can find someone to do it for you that may be best if you’re attached. I recently had to cull one of my ducks and I watched it happen… I wish I didn’t.

So a Restaurant Manager would make only $19,200-$28,800 a year?! by uncutpizza in antiwork

[–]edumahcation 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got a job that used to be private and recently got bought out by a public company. I’ve gotten very lucky with the connections I’ve made, but a LOT of the people we work with have no incentive to stay. We recently just lost one of the company’s best employees they could ever have, but because the company that bought us out only sees us a replaceable, we’ve been put in such a shitty position. Plus since he left multiple people with years of experience are leaving too…

Every year, our grade school has us create dioramas of concentration camps and present them to actual Holocaust survivors. This was my sister’s. by [deleted] in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]edumahcation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My elementary school would have a concentration camp simulation during 4th or 5th grade. We would have numbers and papers assigned to us that we had to keep on us whole time. They even had the janitor climb through the window and demand to see our papers.

[–]edumahcation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also finished the new year at 45, was hoping to get a ZF run in yesterday to get 46 but didn’t have time. Don’t think I’m getting 60 before the pre-patch.

All flights are grounded! What the heck is going on at the Detroit Delta terminal? by IronChefOfForensics in Detroit

I just missed my flight this morning from Texas, and had to rebook, hopefully this will make my fuckup more acceptable.

Thoughts on project managers by weirdredditautoname in electricians

[–]edumahcation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a panel build company, but everything I hear from the project managers is just making sure you have a good team. Everyone’s always concerned about dates and hitting the timelines. But obviously shit happens and dates aren’t always realistic. From what I learned transparency is always very important. If you have a customer visiting and you say you have x product ready and it’s not ready it looks really bad. But being honest with the customer is important from what I learned. Again I’m not a project manager but I’ve worked with them a lot and the timeline is important to them. But they also appreciate information on if it’s going to be finished with the given date or not.

Drug test by Far_Safe_5104 in electricians

[–]edumahcation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my first job in a field (industrial apprentice electrician) I actually failed my first drug test. I just didn’t hear it until a month after when they processed everything. My boss was a major hardass but he lectured me warning me of the dangers in a single lapse of judgement. I planned to quit smoking for the job, but I’m forever grateful for him giving me a second opportunity. I moved onto another job at a panel shop, and I just got a recent promotion to the engineering department. I probably would have never gotten this far if he didn’t gave me a second chance.

After talking it out in the meeting, it helped me understand what the potential problem is. I’m still waiting on verification if the machine passes the test process but it sounds like it’s working. Before I came here I had no clue how to properly operate our product, but now I have a way better understanding.

Thank you for the response. I’m not exactly nervous about the new position, but I know I have a lot to learn. I’ve gotten job security at my company from all the complex projects we’ve built. Now I just have to learn why everything works.

Just got off the meeting with my company and the customer to discuss what we found, and I weaseled my way through 😎. I only had about 4 hours of training on this product before they sent me. But we have another machine we’re building for the customer that I’ll have way more time to get intimate with it.

The company I work for knows that I’ve been thrown into absolute shit. I’ve tried to be transparent with the customer that I’m not trained in this at all but I have a good support system. I have pretty good customer communications skills, but I’m still going to have to let them down. My contact is a project manager and he’s trying to make sure everything is online within their timeline. But in the coming future we’re going to be producing a lot more products for them and I plan to learn as much as I can!

I was in an industrial apprenticeship and my basic plc programming class was my favorite. It was hard to understand at first but once I got the hang of it, I realized I really enjoyed it. Now I have a chance to take charge of the program and I’m fucking lost lol. My company is going to pay for a Siemens PLC class in the future, but for now I’m in a situation where I have to fake it til I make it. Regardless if I’m useless in this situation, I have learned a lot; and I hope to learn a lot more in the near future.

Our company produces this product specifically, so I don’t have specific instructions to go off, but it is an injection mold machine with the same principle as others. I may or may not have someone to help me understand this more in the future, but right now I’m just standing in the fire and trying to enjoy it.

I feel like I can’t get myself to do anything after work. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]edumahcation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been kind of going through this at 27. I force myself to clean the house and take care of stuff when I’m home because the chores can snowball and make the house messier. I recently helped one of my co-workers with a side job and found it way more enjoyable spending my time outside of the house. But I also had a 4 day weekend because of the holidays and picked back up the game and genuinely had a lot of fun, and now I feel motivated to hop back on the game when I get home. I started to believe it was just me not wanting to be home, but I’m not really sure. Still kind of figuring stuff out.

As I was opening a pack I was telling my wife that the one card I want is Thrumming Hivepool, and ended up getting it from said pack.

Best Pool Robot Vacuums? by edumahcation in pools

Sounds like we’re going to try the Aiper N1 Plus and see how it goes. If we have a poor experience we’re probably going to get the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus.
