typical call
Problem happens at about 8 or 9 in the morning.But only after I left the factory ( still in car going home or just got into bath )do they ( multiple bubba's) call me .Problem : Motor not working Solution changed fuse , not working ,then changed ... motor , starter ,cable(s) ,luckely before they decide to change something on the PLC they call me.
Then I start to ask the stupid kind of question like did you press start ? , is the control voltage ok ? ... That should fix it .With modern tools like PC's and VPN , scada with loggin etc where you can connect from home it even more damaging because you can tell Bubba what he's been up to .
Problem is : The plant has been idle for best part of the day ,I fix it in 10 seconds ... Bubba's are bound to do damage control and start lying,cheating and even do some real damage to plant.
In a previous live , a co-worker accused me from sabotage because my software worked and his didn't.
The Manager called me in and said to me : I know you did not do it but if your co-worker can prove it ... your out ... and no he couldn't prove it.He got moved to another department.
