Im in a similar sort of workplace. The fatfuck owner thinks that all of his woes concerning workflow can be solved by buying yet another Mazak, shutting down second shift (my shift), or hiring more dropouts. Luckily for me, Im just a welder, but I can see how the entire management and engineering has to work around his antics.

We had, for example, a run of 300 stainless shaft thingies with blind hokes that were cut one entire degree out of spec, and hes just like "ham, fill these in" while disregarding everybody telling him that it wont work. Lo, and behold, the best i could do still resulted in a 15 thou runout.... I dont remember how much wasted money that represented but it was a shitload.

Oh Jesus lol. Yeah, my boss is he same - throw money at things, don’t listen to anyone, and be shocked when shit doesn’t work.
