Well great news... Im still there...

It was over a $500 item i had to give away for free.... But over all the deal was still profitable and the customer spends 10g's a month with me so it was all good....

I stood up for my self and confidence took over. I would not have any trouble getting another job its just the hassle and the having to tell people i got fired... That would suck...

In the end im paying for the 500 bucks and all is back to normal....

I have learnt for this situation and have learnt where i went wrong and what to do next time.... Yes my profit is too high to be fired.... But in their words a loose cannon is far more un-profitable....

So im great... Going out tonight to coffee club to have a nice dinner with the mrs and enjoy....

I also recieved my cams in the mail today so it was a double win....

Plus i got a raise to stay..... LOL

Yea its pretty harsh to threaten someone to be fired from a few minor mistakes.

If you never take the risk of making a mistake you can never achieve to your full potential. If employers were to realise this, they would get a lot more from their staff as they would not have fear holding them back.

Yeah that is pretty harsh to threaten a job over $500!!

When someone fcuks up at my work the cost to the company is usually in the 5 figure dollar amount, and we dont threaten their jobs...... one guy even stuffed up 3 times in a year, and he still works here, although every job he does is triple checked :P

Good to see it has all worked out in the end though!

Wait, they made you pay $500 for your f**kup but gave you a payrise? Wheres the logic in that. If they were giving you a payrise you'd think they'd cop the $500 and say don't do it again. O well good for you ;)

Col dont be so hard on yourself, youve got the goods to earn 50k with one company, why cant you do it with another? Surely your Co. has competitors and would they like the insider view of thier operations, clients, new products etc. If they are dumping you for thier own political gains what do you owe them?

I know it sounds backwards but yeah an extra few bucks a day to stay... And i only had to pay part of the 500 bucks... So this weeks pay was a little low but they may take the rest next week.... Does not matter...

As for the compitetion.... We have surposed competition but really we smash em every time... So i would not help them. Plus its like leaving a family or something.... Ive worked there so long i am one of the longest serving employees....

Also they are sending me on a holiday in 6 weeks to fiji (FREE)... So i feel i was delt with fairly.... I calculated my annual income with bonus's and it more like 70k and the amount of products i have won or got for free is worth it too....

So i really dont wanta leave as its a cool job.... So ill stay unless i get a better offer in the mean time....

sounds like it' all working out!

enjoy Fiji - I used to do some IT work there. Interesting place when it comes to IT, but the people are great.

6 weeks on Fiji time, will seem like 6months!

just remember who did the back stabbing...

I wish it were 6 week in fiji... I meant im going in 6 weeks time for a week.... However my holidays were rejected by the big boss,... So i got to re-arrange the time to suit other staff....

But yeah... fiji here i come... one day soon....

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
