the guy who i am working with is telling me i gotta pick up the pace while the foreman is telling me to slow it down. the guy im working with is telling me to use this rpm and the production manager is telling me to slow it down.

i got kinda angry (internally)with the guy today and just started doing stuff on my own. i burned the anger up hustling.

kinda a few situations. bit chipped while i was 100 yards away from machine at the dumpster and surface finish wasnt great, it wasnt bad though.

i still had 10" or so to go to crash the tailstock but i was supposed to be back in time as the tool left the work. i dont know how i messed that one up.

almost forgot to lock the tailstock down.

im not a big fan of running things like this unsupervised but if this is what they want.

i told the guy who i am working with when he said i need to pick it up. im doing the best i can. some people just arent cut out for certain jobs. i cant really do anything other than what i am at this point. and sometimes a company just has to let people go. its nothing to get too worked up about.

there has been on several occasions in the month that i been there that i caught some major things that the 25 year vet missed.

Hi,

Pay more attention to what the Foreman wants. If your co-worker is riding you about speed, maybe you need to either tell him you are doing it the boss's way or talk to the boss about the co-worker.

The production manager sounds like he has a good grasp of using new people. He doesn't want rework. (Never enough time to do it right the first time, but always time to do it right the second time). Remember, slow is smooth and smooth is fast. And speed will come as you gain proficiency.

It does sound a bit as though you may feel you are in a bit over your head. It's possible, I don't know. And you speak as if you expect to be let go. I suspect you can do this job if you want to. Perhaps you do need to re-evaluate your position. But only you can make that decision.
