Saw this on the local news site:

Ford to monitor bathroom time

~Rob

 

Classic bad management. You can just imagine: all those employees who were using maybe 30 minutes of their break time will get the message that management are idiots, and start using all 48 minutes of their time, slowing things down even more.

Some people never learn.

 

if i worked there i would probably have to avoid the mexican restaurant the night before.

 

Yeah Buddy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
That's what I want,,,,,,, some guy who is ticked off at management,,,, about ready to bust because he used up all his potty time,,,, putting my new truck together!


Next headline,,,
Ford reporting major buy-backs due to unexplainable oders in new trucks.

 

Who spends 48 minutes in the bathroom for an 8 hour shift??

 

It has been done...

 

You don't work with a lot of women do you?

 

Ummmm...no.

 

Yeah that seems like alot of time. I might spend 48 minutes in the bathroom in about 10 work days.

 

In the plant they're making SUVs. In the can they're making injectors for the 6.0.

 

If sales are down 24%, whats the big deal?

 

Ford, quality is job #2

Well, it would depend on what's in there for reading material.

chaikwa.

 

I still dont get it... at the bottom of that news link, they said automakers have been hurt this year from competition from asia.....

WTH, is going on, we have had competition from asia since the 70's, nothings changed, why dont the U.S. auto makers get the idea?

heh, 48 minutes for bathroom time in a day is quite a bit... man getting paid for 3/4's of an hour to read a magazine is pretty nice.

unless im confused and that means bathroom + lunch break, which would make sense.

 

Let`s see... 3500 workers... 48 min each
That`s 2,800 man hours A SHIFT spent in the crapper.
