When I started out it was the year 2000 , I was a technician and Listened carefully to the engineering teams that had the experience and expertise , that is how I learned , by closing my mouth. Also lerni g from the other technicians that we're around my age or a bit older than me. O had alot of respect for all of the engineering guys and the stories they had , almost all of them drag racers or one guy was a cheif engineer and broke land speed records at Bonnevilles salt flats , I was 24 at the time and I have fond memories from those days , my experience is you really have to ignore all of the distractions going on in the company and keep your nose to the grindstone , anything elese is just wasted energy. Listen to everyone of all ages , I'm a car guy and passionate about automotive , listening to the guys and the stories they had from all age groups really lit the fire for me , I'm in my 40s now GM is what I basically grew up with and now I'm out of a job for the first time in my life , I hate it because I've never not worked , point is no one is safe no matter how good you are , we all know that there is no guarantee in life , it's a c-ap shoot , I miss my work alot and this just s---s big time. I made it through the bankruptcy in 08 but this time not so lucky.
Have pretty much the same feelings as @Xsk3iLp-nkr . Thank for reminding us how it was to work at GM once, but it definitely makes me sad to see what it came down to.
