OH NO..Not for me.....For my Boss. I'm quitting next week. She's a going away present.
He found out that I was making homemade CNC parts from home and canned me.
I told him I learned how to retro a machine with Mach and this forum and he said I was full of s**t.
Also, while I'm "venting", I went to a local CNC shop and asked about working for them to gain some CNC experience. When asked about my prior CNC experience, I said none...except for Mach, this forum and 2 machines that I built myself.
They laughed me out of the place....almost literally !
Then, I happened upon an old acquaintance that worked for a small defence contractor. One thing led to another and lo and behold he asked if I could make some parts for him. One part in particular fit my homebrew machine to a "T". I made 1100 pieces for him. Then, word got back to the manager of the shop that I applied to. (He's the one I took the job from). He calls me back in for what I think is another interview, but instead, he chews my ass for stealing his work.
He then threatens to turn me in to the locals for all kind of business and tax violations.
No offense Brett, but Britt is really too good for him.
