They can punsh me if they want. The way I ended up at Kachina is a funny story.
A parts guy from Lund went to Kachina. He called me to borrow a special tool. I asked how much SAAB work he had. He said they had bunches. Lund is on a funky team system so I went to talk to Kachina at Christmas time 2010. Kachina hired me on the spot. I could have 3 lifts to myself, yipee! Then turds hit fans. My "manager" at Lund got red faced angry when I told him I wanted to make a change and take a risk to improve my situation. Veins were bulging.
The next day he calmed down and offered me $1000 a week guarantee to stay with the caveat that it had to be super secret. I said yes.
Fast forward 14 months and I left my pay envelope out one time. The Cadillac guy I was stuck working with opened the envelope and saw my pay. More turds in more fans.
I started with this company in November 2000 and except for 2004 when I worked at Swedish Auto Werks I have been with this same company since then. When they fired me at Lund for letting out the secret pay guarantee and causing unrest, they rehired me at Kachina as a new employee with no vacation. I know that they know I post here. They will read this. I have zero loyalty to the Lund/Kachina/Legends organisation. Why didn't the jerk who opened my pay envelope get in trouble?
