I really dont like this guy

[horst]

I posted a few days ago I had started a new job.My dept makes end covers for hydrolic pumps and they have some pretty strict tolerances on them.Its been going well, I get along with the other 2 guys, caught on pretty quick to most of it and havent had any real problems untill 2 days ago.The guy I usually work with had to leave early, my supervisor put e back with the other guy.He showed me how to run the mills and CNC machine in his cell and I ran them the rest of the day.

Came to work the next day and our machine was broke down.I again went back to running the mill, when I got done the guy I usually work with would run them through the CNC and stack and gauge them for tolerance.By noon our machine was back up so we went back to it.I left 4 parts in the mill and the guy that runs it finished them for me no problem.

Then at 1:00 another guy comes in, the day before he got his last warning, he has continously broken machines, made bad parts, and made no attempt to even try to do things properly.One more time hes fired.He ran parts on the mill I was using the rest of the day, from 1:00 in the afternoon till midnight.

Came in the next day and we started running a tub of parts on our machine, they were milled wrong, the finish was terrible on them.We stopped running them, took them back and showed them to the guy that taught me how to run the mill.He traced the numbers back for the previous day thinking that the idiot had ran them.He found the numbers and told me they were the parts Id run the day before:eek:

Something didnt seem right but I didnt want to look like I was trying to get away with something so I told him to go ahead and report them to the office that way as I had made them.There was way more pars screwed up then they will allow so I figured Id be getting called up front if not fired.

We went back to our machine, everyone was kinda in a bad mood and we didnt talk much, I thought they were mad at me for most of the morning.Finally the guy I work with looked at me and told me "Those werent your parts, I ran them through CNC and the ones you ran were fine".

Since he brought it up I took the chance and told him what had been bugging me all morning " Mark runs that mill everyday, he knows what hes looking for, dont mention it to him but he ran my last 4 parts, if they were bad he would have easily caught them".

I felt a little better then but was still waiting to get called up for them.After we had dinner Mark, the guy that runs the mill came back over."Chris, I know those werent your parts, I just realized I finished running yours and they were all good, what causes that is the grinding wheels in the mill go bad, you couldnt have left 4 good parts in the mill and put out an entire tub of bad ones before that without changing mills."

Me "So how did my name get on them"

"That kid from 3rd shift switched paperwork on the tubs, Its easy to do and he works alone at night, and if he has any more screw ups hes gone, he couldnt afford to claim these."

"I kinda thought something like that but you cant prove it".

Long story short the kid tried to screw me over, the office and my supervisor know he made them now, Mark went up and raised a big stink about it.Nobody could prove it however so their still on my record over thereThe kids still got a job, Im one step closer to my first warning, and the two guys I work with raised such a fuss they closed the line for 2 hours that afternoon and called them up to the office for a meeting, they havent said so yet but I think they got wrote up for not watching me as Im still a trainee.

I realy dont like this kid, but I have to work with him everyday.He tried getting me fired for his problems, now he acts like nothing happened.I told him yesterday if he talked to me again I was going to hurt him and worry about losing my job later.He hasnt spoken to me for 2 days, its probably a good thing.

I hope everything works out for ya, they'll find out the truth soon I'm sure. Keep your head up!

[stevebeilgard]

let him get fired. don't jeapordise your new job with a fight. he may just want to "take you with him".

[QDMAworks4me]

Sounds like a tough situation, hope everything works out ok.

[AdvantageTimberLou]

Sounds like a bad deal but don't say your going to hurt him. That is grounds for a hostile environment and reason for termination on your part, not his no matter how sneaky this guy is.

Not worth it! Hope it gets better for you.

horst, I hope everything works out for the best for you. BTW, have you ever heard of this company http://www.hpsalesinc.com/index.html? My best friend's family owns it and he has told me several times about having to travel to Iowa on business.

That is a bad deal Chris. Hope things work out the way they should, got to agree with Lou and Steve though, as much as you want to try not to make any comments like that and let him hang himself and not take you with him.

Hang in there Chris, idiots don't last long. They'll get tired of his lack of enthusiasm and careless work and send him down the line. They know what's going on now so he's on real thin ice...... and he knows it, but to no avail he'll do it again and they'll get him.
