[QUOTE="Profreedomokie, post: 1495378, member: 524"] Man I know how you feel. I've been in my job for 30 years . The company buys our tools but, we have to keep up with them or they disappear. I have a very complete set of tools and all the other people in my craft could have a set that is just as good if they would just order them. Most are just too lazy to order them I guess. My big gripe is with management. Our guys used to run our tool room and keep it stocked up with tools and supplies that we need. Now our tool room is run by contractors that don't know about machine shop tools or supplies and it isn't stocked worth a damn. A few years back I was out on a callout working with a boss because they couldn't get another craftsman out. He got mad because we couldn't find a large socket ( one so big none of the craftsman keep) so he said "I'll get the keys to everybody tool boxes". About a month later my frontline boss got copies of all our toolbox keys. Now in the middle of the night when they need a tool , they get my boss's copy of my keys and rob my tool box. They pull this crap sometimes when the tool they need is in the tool room ( most of the time it isn't) and they don't want to wait on a guard to come and open the tool room. Our management is tool lazy to make the contractors running the tool room stock a full set of tools. They take the easy way out and rob my toolbox instead. I know I didn't buy the tools but ,they expect me to do my job and I need tools to do it. The last "borrowed tool" took me 36 days to get it replaced. My life would be less stressful if our management would do their job. [/QUOTE]
