Well, folks, I strolled into work at 7:00 Friday morning to complete my first week at the dishwasher rack factory. I was greeted by George, the Quality Manager.He was in a bit of a manic mode, but he explained he had to leave early.
He rattled off a short list of some things I should take care of after he left:
- Hang the receiving tags I had filled out for the 20 boxes of components for which I had finished the incoming inspection. "Find Kenny. He'll help you hunt them down," he said.
- Enter a half-dozen new gages into the calibration system.
- Start working on the gage R & R studies, using the samples in the gage drawer.
Well, OK, fine. At least I now have a "to do" list.
While I was out on the floor looking for this Kenny guy, an announcement cave over the PA. "All supervisors report to the front office."
I couldn't find Kenny, so I doubled back through the front office, just as all the supervisors came trucking out of the Plant Manager's office.
"Oh, hey, Craig," the PM called to me. "I should have had you in here with the other guys just now."
"Oh, Hi, Rab," I replied. "What's up?"
"We just let George go this morning," he stated.
"Oh, really?" I said. (Left unsaid: "You mean the guy who was going to train me?")
"Yeah. Sorry to do that on your first week," he said, "but it's a done deal. If you need anything, just come and see me."
Great.
Just. Great.
I am so screwed, people.
More to come: "Culture Wars!"
