    Mechanical Design of industrial equipment - disagreements on design timelines and methods

    I could see how it could be assumed as constructive dismissal though I do truly believe the owner's intents are genuine, as it seems he does not have much experience in the industry but has been very generous with all accommodations and salary negotiation considering the small size of the...

    Mechanical Design of industrial equipment - disagreements on design timelines and methods

    To reply to @3DDave's response (unsure how to reply directly on here), the boss does in fact have concern for the company's functioning and well being. Unfortunately, when I had brought this up previously, either I understated the importance of the issue or the boss trusts the manager over me as...

    Mechanical Design of industrial equipment - disagreements on design timelines and methods

    Thank you all for the insight as I must say I am surprised to hear the majority of perspectives agreeing with my own. I will include that what is quite ironic, is that the coworker in question is very aware of scope creep and how it can affect things. So I wonder what it is that makes every...

    Having trouble implementing best file organization practices at new company

    If you're assuming that I mean literally every single subassembly in an entire assembly, I do not mean that. I mean to say that there are different subassemblies that are modularly assembled for these systems. Would it not logically make sense to sort these into subfolders, to attempt to match...

    Having trouble implementing best file organization practices at new company

    Hello all, As the title states, I recently started at a new company as one of the only M.E. among all other software engineers. The company has an existing product line of machines, which often require custom add-ons or configuration designs depending on the application/job at hand. We are...
