I've been in this industry for over 30 years now, and it's got to the point where its absolutely impossible to do a decent day's graft without the 'corporate' nonsense being rammed down your throat.
If I recall why I got into the tools, it was because I hated school, sitting in a room & shuffling paperwork and loved the aspect of fixing things, and being able at tend of the day, saying, yes, I, did this or that today and made a difference to the customer or operators day.

But over the last few years in particularly, we must disrupt at least one day a week to talk about how to do the job, usually from brainwashed corporate weirdos, who've spent to long gazing at the Rose tinted world of a shiny office with nice paintwork and carefully manicured desk toys.

This industry is a dirty, hands on, let's get the job done, and yet as every year rolls by, more corporate crap from BS merchants justifying change, and they wonder why there is a recruitment issue in this industry, get the conditions and the pay right, with decent tools and training and parts back up, before any of the other crap.

Fact of the week
In May 2023, a Belgian Malinois named Wilson played a key role in the rescue of four children lost in the Amazon jungle. The young children were missing for 40 days after a plane crash that killed their mother and other adults. Wilson tracked the children's footprints, leading the military to their location.
