Why didn't you say that you were only basing your opinion on your very limited exposure to the US workforce? Could it be that folks in your neck of the woods have a different work ethic than the rest of the nation, causing your skewed perception? I already know for a fact that this is the case in may parts of the country, as I have spent a lot of time in plants across the nation. I have seen identical sister plants in different parts of the country, that operate in totally different ways, due to the local workforces and their styles, if you will.
Someone should tell JD Powers, et al, that the Tundra is not in the class with the Super Duty, as they seem to pit them against one another in reports.
I dont work in plants.........I am now a software engineer, and previously a hardware design engineer. I also live in one of the most advanced areas of the US, with the cost of living per county always being in the top 5 within the US every yeat. Dont know what you meant by my neck of the woods, so I'll just point it out.
I see the people I work with, the %'s of races, and the motivation within. I worked in a company of 80,000 people for 10yrs, traveling at times, and it was always the same. I can see who is lazy, and who is not. It doesnt apply to everyone, but it does to the majority. To me, at least it does.
ANyway, I am done debating, we are both entitled to our opinion.
