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./

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
