    Crye-Lieke Hell

    Before you spend $$ on your own appraisal. It's your house he took pictures of. Why not call your attorney and ask them about this so called "...can ONLY release the information to the person who contracted it and is paying for it". I don't think he would charge you for one simple question. Eddie

    How to avoid drama at work?

    You could try. "Hey guys!!! Can you take it outside? I'm trying to work here." Although not knowing your situation this could come with it's own set of problems for you. Can you talk to your boss? Does your boss have a boss? Is there an HR department? Good Luck Eddie

    Crye-Lieke Hell

    I smell fish here. Real estate laws vary by state so I would recommend: 1. That you gather a list of questions and any documents you have signed or are about to sign and meet with a real estate attorney familiar with the laws of your state. You should have one anyway when it comes time to...

    Question on Commutes and on Management

    "So the bottom line is that I would love to look for a new job closer to home with a more flexible schedule, but I am scared to death of ending up in a job I don't like or working for a manager who is difficult. As much as I hate the extra drive time, I'd rather spend the extra 1-2 hours per...

    Moral dilemma in ISO9000 & TS16949

    Bad situation. My heart goes out to the QA manger. I was in a somewhat similar situation ethically. I choose to leave a VP position that I was very well paid for. I'm not making anything close to what I was and I don't see that kind of compensation comming anytime soon but at least I sleep at...

    Moral dilemma in ISO9000 & TS16949

    Is there anyone higher to take this to? Does the boss know that this is a major violation and they could lose ISO certification. A violation of "ETHICS". Not to mention loss of a customer(s), and reputation. The QC manager should keep copies of his written objections and refuse to sign off on...

    Measurement data with respect to gage accuracy

    I would not say that accuracy = uncertainty. Only that instrument accuracy is part of the uncertainty equation along with other factors such as environment, operator repeatabiliy, and any other factor that may cause a variance in the measurement. I too am relativley new to all this. I have...

    Measurement data with respect to gage accuracy

    You must have a good system if the inspector is nit picking something like this. IMO you are doing exactly what you should be doing. The inspector is wrong. His way you would have to be rounding which would increase your uncertainty budget. That is to say for example. You have a tolerance...

    Different types of enginnering industries

    Just to chime in. Are they offering a relocation package? Paying for moving expenses etc. If they are then just be carefull around tax time. This will all come under "Wages, Tips, and other compensation". Any moving expenses that you incur are tax deductible. So save every receipt including...

    Old New Guy

    Thanks for the help. I think I have a general understanding of it now. Last time I worked in QC, ISO did not even exist or at least was not well known. Quite a bit has changed since then. I only have basic measuring tools, nothing more than OD Micrometers, Calipers, Depth Micrometers, and ID...

    Old New Guy

    Thanks for the response. You are correct in your assumption, this about gage calibration requirements and opps, I should have cited 7.1.4.f instead of 7.4.1.f which states that Calibration records shall contain certain requirements such as the "the uncertianties involved in calibrating...

    Old New Guy

    Hi All, I'm new to this forum and have been out of QC for about 15 years. And now I find myself back in with allot of catchng up to do. My first of many questions to come is this. In ISO 10012-2003 7.4.1.f (designated maximum perrmissible error) I,m not sure if I understand this. Are they...

    Machine Shop Layout

    Hi all, I'm new to this forum so I may be a little late to this thread but here is my 2 cents. I have done quite a few layouts in a commercial bakery. Regardless if your are making donuts or fan blades the concepts of morale, ergonomics, safety, workflow, and econmics are the same. You...
