    ALL of my crew quit after I left. ALL of 'em. They loved working for me and wouldn't work for my replacement. Ex boss asked why. It's simple. I treated them like a valued employee, and with fairness and respect. That's not fashionable by the millennials who followed me. They had to "put them in their place".

    I understand the board members are asking questions. Wanting to know how things collapsed so quickly. If they ask me, I'm gonna tell 'em. "Y'all fucked up".

    I was also told experience is over-rated. Just shows you how LITTLE these newbies actually know about life.

    Good morning friends. Off today and tomorrow. Orientation at the daughter's school the next two days. I think I need to pick up a sleeve of red Solo cups for this...

    Welcome to all of the new faces. Best thread on TW, right here.

    You can’t get all the answers out of a book.
    Nothing is as it seems.
    Good workers are not numbers..
    But that’s how it is presented..

    On Edit

    Board members are a clueless bunch in any place you work.
    Number crunching, pencil pushers..

    That is perfect
    Well, ok both mustard and ketchup? Sounds middle of the road.
    The only thing in the middle of the road are yellow lines and dead aramdillos.

    My BIL from Texas told me that.

    Welcome

    They will not learn. They will push the blame onto you and the newbies, I have seen it before. Then they take their over inflated salaries and go home.

    :rofl:

    I was told once by a stuipidvisor that “machinists were $0.10 a dozen, I can replace y’all like that” n snapped his fingers

    When I decided to leave I went into his office and slid a dime across his desk. He looked puzzled n asked “what’s this?” I told him it was my contribution to his machinist fund, I'll be leavin at the end of the week.

    His dimestore machinist crashed the machine with in two days, they had to have a service tech replace the spindle, cost em a good bit more than $0.10
