That new engineer from corporate who told me to just run the program faster
He came down to the floor in Detroit last month, pointed at my Haas VF-2 running a 316 stainless part, and said 'The cycle time is 22 minutes, can't you just bump the feed to 150%' before walking off, leaving me to explain thermal growth and tool life to a guy who'd never loaded a vise.

Ever get one of those guys? I just started asking them to sign a paper taking blame if the part gets wrecked, lol. They usually find something else to bother real quick.

Ugh, I once had a guy ask me to "just weld it faster" on a cracked engine block.

Man, that's the worst. I like what lee_grant97 said about making them sign something, because they just don't get it (you know, like the whole tool life thing). Gotta love when they give advice on stuff they've never actually done.
