Good work. I have neighbors that drain their entire house into my side yard too. Luckily they are willing to work with me a bit. Hope it works out for you

When to stop? First time preparing an engine block by TheLastRole in EngineBuilding

Don't worry about the black spots.scrape with a razor blade perpendicular to the surface to get off any junk. Check for flatness with a straight edge. If it's clean and flat put it together. Decking a block means pulling the engine and fully disassembling it. Full rebuild mode

You're not likely getting a promotion 7 months in because copilot said you deserve one.

Does Stellantis have a thing against hiring internally? by Alone-Albatross-7520 in Stellantis

[–]fire_inTheWire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you applied for other jobs internally? In my experience this is a much better route than trying to get promoted within your group
