Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

My brother is a mechanic at Toyota, apparently it happens a lot there, people hear thier good reputation for reliability and decide that means they don't need servicing.
lol

Or

1. get a bottle of scotch

2. drink said scotch

3. promptly yell at the cause of BS

4. ......

5. ......

6. Profit? And no more BS

This would work except for the fact that I'm now in a management role and responsible for all my actions. I know how I would deal with the situation, unfortunately the new Managing Director doesn't like confrontation and hence he won't deal with shit until it's escalated. This is f**king frustrating especially when we have issues in the team that need to be dealt with NOW!

quick pointer Tony. Write all the issues you have identified in point form and date them. Keep a log of them and when the times come bring the log out and discuss the relevant issues at the time.

then you will have more weight when it comes to crunch time.

That does indeed sound like BS, whats the point of having a position where you have staff to manage if you are not allowed to manage them?

We live and breathe three simple principles: don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal.

I've been advised that someone here has been doing 2 of the 3. With normal issues, i can whip people into shape, when it's this serious, the big boss needs to step in. Only thing is, he won't. I've heard this from clients and candidates hence my concern....

Don't worry mate. Got a record here. ;)

venturing into the realms of politics there................keep your focus clear, just remember that whistle blowing also has its limitations mate.

When I say responsibility for the management of the team, you know what I mean and where I'm coming from.... It's our rep on the line. Recruiters are already treated as scum, don't need more negative attention./

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
