So true, Glenn! I've been there, done that, too! Seems the employees with the actual skills and "know how"" hardly ever get promoted from within. I was passed over for a position when at that time I had 12 years of experience only to have the job given to someone he hadn't one single minute of experience. <br /> <br />We once had a manufacturer's rep from an HBD (Hot Box Detector) company visit us out in the field. We went to an HBD site during the morning hours after it had rained. Well, the HBD scanners are internally heated year round, info that a company rep should have known. <br /> <br />Anyways, as we were getting out of our vehicles, the guy looked over to the tracks to see the HBD scanners and he asked "why are all the scanners smoking out there??" <br /> <br />My reply was "we call that steam out here, it's just the scanner heaters warming the cold rain". <br /> <br />"Oh" was his reply.
