i have a coworker that is my backup in the area we service. Today i watched him try to fry 2.5million dollors worth of equipment on an install. The electrician asked him what to run and he told them 2 480vac for the power system. The cable specifically stated they were rated for no more than 250v ac and it was CLEARLY marked on the rack. I caught it just as hes was plugging in the cords and about to power on. This dumbass has been a PIMA for 5+ years and is COMPLETELY freaking incompetant. Anyone have an opening for a village idiot? I need to find him a new career!! Sorry just needed to vent before i have a stroke..... mike Oh dear lord he just called me again.. he can't find the damn power switch on a machine he has been serviceing for 2 years.... I need a valium. |
lmao!
This guy sounds like one of those people who gets smacked upside the head again and again by the hard way and never learns a damn thing. If you can't get him fired, get him to quit. |

[Home Improvement] 240, 241, whatever it takes[/Home Improvement] I saw a 'tech' spend a Saturday trying to get the second little cabinet of an (older, beige)AS400 started. It was a used unit and the vendor had big blue come in and hook it up. Couldn't find a bad power switch. I despise 480. Give that stuff a lot of respect and distance. The flash bang when it goes to ground is a Kodak moment. |
Another +1 ... I once covered for a co-workers incopetence and it came back to bite us in the ass much harder than it would have hurt if I just let him show his inability the first time. |

Speaking of idiots and electricity ... ... I'm thinking of getting a small welder, to teach the Mustang from Hell who is really in charge around here (or set fire to my garage trying  ). I'm looking at two different cheap flux-core models.But one of them uses 115V 15 amp, and the other one is 115V 20amp. Are those BOTH okay with a regular household outlet? |
I've got no experience with Flux-core 'cept that I was told to stay away.. I'm sure someone will chime in.. |

i have made them aware. i have documented cases about him from 1998. i have presented them time and time again to management and even gone so far as to refuse to work with this idiot when i can. Management frankly just does not care and it affects my review <not helping the team> whenever i bring it up. DPMMNn This was NEW Reggata system. the customer decided to remove all the cpu's and dasd and configure them at another site <BIG NONO> and reship the components to this site with NO documentation. He called me again about 1030 last night i spent until about 3am this morning trying to unfuck his cableing. Customer finally said screw it. He is back out there now and has called me no less than 5 times this morning already. I need a baseball bat and some prozac. mike |
