Just read this , millreef
Staffordshire, United Kingdom Briggs are owned by a hugely wealthy USA company called Sammons. Perhaps they will buy Barloworld's MH business which would fit with Cat dealers off loading MH businesses to concentrate on core business. Briggs seem to like buying loss making companies, why not Barloworld's MH ??

Very good special, I am also jumping ship as soon as all is in order. Who knows maybe we will all go at the same time crippling "the world" in nc and just think they are about to get a new account that was going to require them to hire 6-8 more techs,well maybe now they will need more like 10-14 lol,lets see them pull that one off. Hopefully all will happen at the same time so maybe they will realize we are not a dime a dozen!!! Lets see the managers go out there in the sweltering heat roll up they're sleeves and "try" to fix these trucks and keep the customers happy, oops i think they just sprung another leak lol, houston we got a problem and she's going down fast!!!!

Very well put Hysfort! Most of the guys I work with have found their new jobs and we are waiting for 2 more to do the same. We have planned to jump ship at the same time. Lucky for for our managers they can do a far better job then we can. LOL!!

You said the key phrase "how will they cover this mess" cause thats all they will do is cover it up,bury it,burn the files and mind erase everyone lol! The thing with them is this is just one problem of many. The head cheif has made the statement that he knows he has management problems! You can't fix the "world" over night but i bet he's working on it. The only problem is how long will it take to fix the leak????????? Cause right now there are billions of gallons of oil spuing out. And bomkyl give it time and something will happen to make you see the light, there are a lot of tech's looking for oppertunity to jump ship right now and as soon as the time is right you will see and so will the rest of the "world"!!!! "the world" is sinking and they know it but they are to stubborn to do anything about it until its to late,so you might want to start looking now cause when the ship does sink all the life rafts will be full and you will be left all alone adrift!!!!

Seems Barloworld has a lot of unhappy campers right now. Can't understand why, personally I think it is a good company to work for.

That's not likely is it?
All I can say is their are a lot of good folks who work for this company. If you want to be strong please only yourself but if you want to be stronger please all. Kind words go far but negativity can stop and even reverse what had taken XYJ to accomplish.

the idea is not to _stop_ "the leak", the (obvious to me) goal is to obtain profit from the expense of having created "the leak", by _recovering_ enough product from the "leaking spot" to pay for the effort to create and maintain "the leak".
where ever and what ever "the leak" is.

I don't work for b'world anymore(thank God) attempted to rent some trucks from them. What a freaking disaster. I could expound but it would take a book to write. It involved dealing with two divisions who you would have thought they were two different companies. Enough of the seafood talk. STOP THE **** LEAK.

LEARN *** I GO
I don't care for sea food much these day.
Years ago when I went on a school trip to our state capitol we met two congress men and we were able to talk to them for a short period of time. I remember asking one of them how they were able to keep all the promises that got them in office and when I read three of them back to him he looked at me and said son just because its written on paper doesn't mean that it holds any value. I asked why is that he padded me on the shoulder and with a low voice ,son I have objective's an task to perform for my party. I can't please everyone but I must please my party!
