In my 9 year stint as Product Assurance Engineer, I wrote more than 700 test requests for Oshkosh, Placida, and the Lake. Then the 1989 crunch came and our entire department was chopped. Left a very bad taste in my mouth for sure. The first big engine without my test program was the 3 litre. Several engineers on that program would call me for advice on what and how many, etc. should they test. I could have told them to shove it, but I didn't - I bled black then and now.Attachment 513413Quote:

Company saved $$$ by chopping you off the payroll then tries to save $$$ again by "knowledge transfer". They had a chance to document what was in your head and blew it. HR organizations are idiots.Quote:

I had 24 1/2 years in at that time, 2 small kids at home, and suddenly out of a job. The service department had made cuts but they cut too deep or got rid of some dead wood. I got back in as a senior technical writer and they continued my service time. insurance, etc., but I did take a pay grade hit. It hurt for a while but I worked my way up and out into the world of OEM service, working with boat companies, which also got me a move to Florida for 5 years. Then I made a mistake in my career and went back to the FDL offices in the accessory division, to bring SmartCraft on line, but could not hack the 5 day sit at your desk routine after having been on the road. So back on the road in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and left with a decent package at age 62. I will be 77 in January - and at present don't even own a boat!Quote:

Get ready, there is another recession coming. As long as it doesn't affect my pension check.
