    Yes, but I could have received a better deal via rebates and incentives if I didn't go with the PRO (which wasn't happening.)

    I work ''end of line repair'' on these. Mostly electrical/testing issues and some fit/finish issues. Those AMG's do sound awesome.

    I worked for two guys like that at my last job, both seemed to love making the rest of us work insane hours while they got to sit in the office. Life's too short to work for assholes that don't appreciate your hard work.

    Owslystnly, I feel ur pain. It burns me up when upper management comes down on your job or project and starts to dictate the job when the supervisor is the one handling things, saying to himself, Hey Douche Bag! Let me do my job. Just like Engineer's who want to tell you how it should work, because they designed it from there office and it's supposed to work. Before I get harrassed by our Engineer's on this forum, I want you to know, I work with Nuclear Engineering quite a bit and have great respect for them, and they are way smarter than me. In my line of work, we encourage all if our Engineer's to come down on the deck plate to see up close what we do and to better give them a scope of the job.

    Very true. My dad has always told me and my brother that you don't leave a job without having accepted another one.

    Hmmm...

    Grew up working for my Dad every summer starting when I was about 10 (the "labour" laws were different and imho better back then) laboring, running heavy equipment, road building for off the grid forestry and infrastructure projects, then worked for the railway, first as a laborer and then as an equipment operator installing 135lb continuous welded rail, and on tie gangs, etc., then back to logging road building on the remote west coast, before leaving camp life for business management so that I could be home at nights with my wife and our two sons.

    These days I am a business exec and work with a very talented group of people for an industrial product creation company with the tag line "We Build Mobility"... which really means "we make cool shit on wheels".
