If you worked for a billion dollar co, should you have the tools to do the job?

If you worked for a billion dollar company, should you have the tools need to do the job? I'm talking hand tools, blades, etc.?

We have one task that requires us to deburr newly drilled holes (.250 - .625). We use what's called a cogsdill or burraway to do it. The problem is that we can't find the tool, and if we can there are two types with three different blades types (cutting edge on the front, cutting edge on the back, and cutting edge on the front and back). They never have what we need.

I ended up deburring 250 holes by hand with a rose bud last night. Not difficult, but the cogsdill makes a cleaner cut. In many situations, a cogsdill is the only tool that will work.

I suppose if we didn't have so many nozzles working here, we might have some.

My manager is a lazy sack of shyte that watches the internet all shift so he's worthless and no help. In fact, of all the emails I've sent hime, he's never replied to one. What a tool

I can't wait to get out of here...

Rant over.

C-level compensation and stock price are important, stop whining and do your job, whether or not you have the proper tools. Vacation homes are critical and still tax deductible.

^^^^ ?

It's not like I can run out and buy what I need. Every tool is calibrated and/or numbered for control purposes. Besides, I'd never bring anything personal here with all the slackers.

Yes, they should supply the right equipment to do your job effectively. One nice thing about the company I work for is the President started his career at bottom of the pole for a competitor so he understands the importance of supplying he right gear, and encourages staff to take pride in their equipment and the company.
