Just 2 cents? lol

I'm the senior electrician for the Freestar body right now, it's a struggle to keep the equipment running at a reduced rate, not only because they cut overtime but because they collapsed the offshift onto the shift that should be running production. So when I shut the line down to do maintenance (my favorite line: "The customer should get the same weld quality whether their car is made on Monday or Friday") they're not impressed, but they can't argue about it.

But from what I hear on the Edge body they're being really careful, the biggest problem I see from a maintenance standpoint is that they really hacked the staffing numbers, there isn't enough people to do the work, and NOW is the time to train people, not when they want to run.

But that's our plant manager. I thought he was leaving?
