Man sorry to here that.the automated dispatcher does make the work being handed out fair..maybe you could get on with an independant shop....its worth a try anyway.It was getting like that at BMW, but no dispatch system to speak of other than 7 greedy team leaders that took all the good work for themselves and their closest buddy.
They were the official work dispatchers...a tech as a dispatcher..yeah...great idea. NOT!
So now I do paint touch up on cars... outside...and its too cold for that, so I have no work as well. Havent worked other than plowing snow a few times for months.
shoot, here in california the economy is really bad. Unemployment is around 12% (actually higher). Big layoff notice is due to be released any day now here in my school district. Hundreds of layoffs---and this is a public school. Cops, fire, everybody is getting layoff notices. Thanks, big banking/loan firms for being so reckless. Of course, many banking officers still get those big, big bonuses after being bailed out by our government.
And get this.... a report went out last week sayin shreveport was one of the best places in the country to live and work..well i don't know how they came up with those stats ,but I can say myself things are'nt that great here....500+ ppl here and around 10% layoffs last year...
We also had 2 weeks of company shut-downs (not paid) at the end of 2009, and 2 more coming up in April and July...
The aerospace market usually gets hit a few months after everybody else as the effects take time to go down from the Airlines and OEMs down through the supplier chain, so we're actually starting to seriously worry about next year...
Tough times...

Our workshop only has 2 guys on the floor and me in the office/floor, lately we have had 0-1 jobs a day going back to before christmas but the owner doesnt seem too worried about it yet. Im due for a payrise next week i dont think ive got much chance. Im told most of the workshops in the area are the same, apart from the performance ones, which are booked out weeks in advance,
Yea the states has a hugh bearing on the rest of the world, something happens there and the ripples in the pond hit us all. We are not doing too bad at the moment because the government stupidly threw money everywhere so that the global economic crisis didnt hit us so hard, the problem being when the world comes good again our country is now broke. We soon will be taxed so hard we will bleed to pay back all the money that has been spent.
