WTF is going on with my new Jeep??

[ShadowsPapa]

That is the same at my work. I game up from the shop floor blue collar but when I got into the engineering side, it was a different environment. I work as a liaison engineer supporting manufacturing and am around the Union shop guys day in a day out. When I have to bring any type of female from engineering on the aircraft being built and if she is of any reasonable attractiveness, I have to walk on the aircraft 10 minutes ahead and give all the shop guys a warning of the female engineer I am bringing on so they can tone it down. They will still eye rape her though.

BAULSAUL situation happens a bazillion times a day, just he had video on it this time from guys who thought they were not facing the public. Everyone of us has a public face and a private face we present. Sometimes the private face is not meant for general public consumption.

Absolutely not contradicting you in any way, just that I think i really must have been lucky in where i worked (at least, most of the places)
The auto plants we toured were a good place to learn new words.
First shop - Andy was the boss and you just didn't talk about the customers other than him saying "he's an old fart and can't afford ..........." or using certain words when no one was around - or even when some customers were around (we were very close to the packing plant...... you can imagine)
Andy had a teenage daughter who was his world - so he wasn't about to allow anyone to talk about young women/girls in certain ways.
Neill was a sort of boss you felt like you were working in a family situation. He'd call us "horse's ass" now and then - like when we sort of failed to tell him the hat he was looking for was withing reach anywhere he went. But it was very much a place you could bring wives and daughters into without any worries.

I'm sure it's out there, and maybe a whole lot worse than I think or imagine - but I wasn't in those environments for work.
Holy cow - working for government or even PFG - you could get into some very serious trouble if another employee heard the wrong things. PFG might get you shown the door, the state was union, but still - there was no tolerance, even for "sailor talk".

I find the order of magnitude goes up the larger the shop and number of employees that go up.

When I worked for Elliott TurboMachinery. If you walked into the shop and yelled "hey dick head". Everyone would answer you. Even the shop foreman's, the general foreman, and the shop manger. And depending who the plant manger was.

At the power plant. Anything went. But when you were in the admin building. You watched your P's and Q's. Unless you were the control room operator on duty and things went sideways. Then look out. I told a VP to shut the F@#K up one time. I was doing a plant start up and was having troubles with steam flows and a piece of equipment. He was in the control room having a meeting with plant management. I told everyone to get the F@#K out. After the start up. I got called into the plant mangers office. Figured this is it. The plant manger started on me. The VP told the plant manger to shut up. And he apologize d to me for cause a distraction.

LOL - at CCC if you hollered "Hey, Boris" half the staff would stand. I swear, Boris must be the Russian Bob or whatever.

Just so everybody knows, I am a construction foreman and I talk shit like this all the time. So I’m not surprised by their actions at all. One video was so bad that somebody in the background yelled at them and said that there’s a camera in the car filming, but they continued to talk shit. Serves them right in my humble opinion. at the end of the day, I got a pretty damn good warranty out of it ? ??‍. Believe me when I tell you, I could’ve done much more. I’d like to share the videos, but that may cross the line. They know they made a mistake obviously

Lockerroom banter cost someone a lot of money just recently. Yes, it's pretty common in the work place. I'm sorry you had to hear it at a personal level.

Oh, I’m well aware that there “fueling while engine was running” for engine lights was a stupid response. I’m just saying that it makes them equally as stupid for letting me take delivery of the jeep.

I fuel while running nearly Every single day for the last 4 years thats a line of Bull a mile long.
