Bingo!

This is an epidemic among all the car makers and the tier 1 suppliers, and this is a MAIN reason why you see increasingly inconsistent quality. It's only getting worse, ask me I know I work at a tier one and see this [censored] all the time, it is greed, and a desire to squeeze the last red cent of profit out of the business, which will eventually kill the golden goose, too many clueless over educated and inexperienced MBAs control the businesses today.

Nope, can't agree with you on this issue.

This issue is about quality control, and ensuring that the worker assembles the parts together correctly.

There are 5 parts in the con rod/piston assembly.

Piston
Conrod
2 circlips
pin

Even Engineer20 and Gearheadtool should be able to accomplish this task.

Though, one of them would take three weeks to assemble the parts, and post 15 times making sure he had selected the correct parts from the correct sources, while the other would post 14 times, including a video of him drilling out the wrist pin to be larger diameter on the inside, but that's besides the point.

The worker only needs to assemble these parts together, and make sure the circlips are properly engaged in their grooves. They are failing at this extremely easy task.

The task is easy, and you shouldn't have to pay someone $1500 per hour to do this job in order to get quality work.

Now, try to put the circlips on a 986 Boxster engine.
That requires actual skill, because instead of installing the clips on the parts while they are loose in your hand, you have to install them in a partially built engine, using a borescope, and a clamp tool through a small hole in the engine block.

Problem is that those temporary contract employees do NOT give a
[censored] about the job they do, it doesn't matter how easy it is.
They DO NOT CARE! The turnover rate of temps is INSANE where I work, they come and go on a DAILY basis, that is right some work less than a day or so and leave to be replaced by the next warm body. LOL

As I stated before I see the same issues at my own workplace.

Well, I'm honestly very sorry to hear that.
Well, that right there is the reason why the people who come and go in a matter of days are temps, and not employees.

Well, it really just comes down to the individual person.
Doesn't matter if they were a temp, or an actual employee of the company, they would(n't) do the job any better, no matter who they were employed by.

Just makes me more grateful for the job situation that I have, and the lifestyle I'm able to have because of it. I even have a great boss, and have for the 4 years I've been working at this company, even though I've now had 3 different bosses during those 4 years.

I work hard, they pay me well, and all of my coworkers have the same work ethic that I do.
