Companies will say anything to raise prices.

While true every production manager I have met in my life would need multiple dime bags to even be reduced to type A. If a factory isn't producing it is because it can't produce. I have my stories here is one:

Alarm goes off. Manager is demanding to know why. As fast as I can I trace it down to one computer inside a control cabinet. It is plexiglass with a metal frame. Somehow the Ethernet cord has come lose and that is the problem. Can't open the frame since it is locked. He is yelling on the radio for the key. Argument over the radio over who has the key. Looks at me and says

"Are you absolutely certain this problem is from a lose Ethernet cord?"

"Yes"

"Stand back"

He proceeds to start bare handed punching the plexiglass until it breaks open then gives me a death stare. I put the Ethernet cord back in and the alarm goes off.

Saw him the next day with his arm in a sling. Yeah Jesus fucking Christ.
