Hello and goodbye to my old job

Sorry to hear about this Jay. I've seen this happen at other large companies too, they push out very long term and highly knowledgeable employees to bring in their own and basically go backwards because of it. It will be interesting to see if they make any design changes to the Fram filter line ... hopefully not to cut corners to try and make more money out of the company. The BITOG filter forum "Cut and Posts" will reveal any changes if they take place, so time will tell. Guess it might be time to think of a new high efficiency filter to go to if they screw up the Ultra.

So thanks a lot for you involvement here on BITOG, and please don't be a stranger and keep on posting when you can. Good luck in your future endeavors, I'm sure you'll find something fitting to move on to next given all your experience in the automotive field.

Sorry to hear this Jay, it will be Fram/Tricos loss...

I'm sure you will land on your feet, I like to think the good ones do.

How about a BITOG boycott of Fram in support of a guy who did a lot to promote Fram, and deserved their respect?




^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hades yeah !!!!!!!!!!
This will be my way of going forward.

Jay take care of yourself.. . And you will find your way. You deserve the very best.

Sincerely,.
Bradley

That is a lot of Auto know how...shouldn't be too bad finding something around here...

Depending on where you live:

MANN (Novi)
NTN (Farmington Hills)
Panasonic automotive (Novi)

Are all actively hiring....wishing you the best-let us know where you land!!
 
Corporate America, the rows of the fat cats at work here once again! Sorry to hear you getting the boot! Hopefully you get a nice unemployment benefit in the meantime until you find something else.
 
Good luck, man. I haven't really spoken with you about Fram matters, you are a stand-up guy from what I read here. :heart:
 
Good luck to you. I doubt a non compete can be enforced when THEY let you go through no fault of your own due to restructuring.

Lots of Facebook advertising for mom n pop businesses.
 
Best of luck from a fellow SE Michigander. Your insight was one of the reasons I have Frams in my filter stash.
