My job just went offshore
Man...Can I relate!
I have been in the manufacturing sect for my entire career as a field service engineer (not to boast) with a college degree as well as growing up in a shop environment. Went into CNC tooling, Packaging, commercial kitchen equipment, back to CNC, back to the Packaging industry, and on and on. Why, you ask?
Because manufacturing has virtually disappeared from the American way of life, and sold out thru various "trade" treaties over the years, to "boost the American economy", to off shore countries. It does not matter if we are talking customer service positions, training poaitions, manufacturing, whatever...they have mostly been pushed out to cheaper labor rate countries, leaving the americans that actually desire to work an honest day, holding the bag.
Hey have you all heard ?
Remember "the Duke" ? Winchester Arms located in southern CT, otherwise known as U S Repeating Firearms, is closing up and going over seas! Winchester!
Picture the Duke ambling up to you and saying..."Well Howdy, Partner" with pronouncing his l's as r's and with squinty eyes!
Yea, it hits me hard, as this was once a thriving business, and one of my longtime customers.
Cheers to the ORIGINAL Winchester!

My job just went offshore
DRankin-
Thanks, Good to be back, too!
As far as I know, as of March of this year the doors are shut, and production is finished. Any "older" stock, will no longer be available, and, any new components and/or issues, will be made abroad - somewhere.
(btw, I love your manger scene!)
