A sad story:
I was an engineer at a conveyor manufacturer a few years ago. Amongst the
newer CNC machines was an old Excello CNC vertical mill with a Dynapath 10
control (very old) We had so many circuit board failures on the control
that it became obvious it was time to dispose of this machine. It was a
nice
piece of iron, 54" table, ball screws, 7 hp motor etc. I asked my boss,
the
plant manager, if I could buy it. No way, it's goin' in the scrap bin.
"WTF"
I said! He mumbled some crap about liabilty and if I wanted it why
couldn't
everyone else have a shot at it. Ok said I, lets have a drawing among
interested people. "Get out of my office" was the response. I watched as
the
lead machinist picked the machine up with a forklift and drove it over to
the dumpster. He tilted it in and BLAMMO it hit bottom hard. It landed
with
dignity in the dumpster and didn't look too damaged down there. Maybe the
guys at the scrapyard saved it.

I know this is glaringly obvious to the most casual observer, but your boss
was a wailing, thoroughbred asshole.
