Hi folks:
The place I hang my hat during the day has decided that it's necessary to pursue work in areas where we have absolutely no expertise. Their justification: we need the work.
Am I the only one who see's this as wrong? Have any of you encountered something like this in your places of work? Is there an effective way to
deal with this?
Details: I am primarily experienced with Allen Bradley stuff. The project in front of me right now is Siemens based (CNC stuff, not general
automation). I have never even used Siemens before, and neither has anyone else who has worked here. Company owner here gave an "of course we can do this" answer to the customer without consulting with engineering. Oh, to make things fun, the preliminary design review with the customer is next Friday, and I am still having problems figuring out how to get this
all to fit together.
