At my previous employeer, a Ch 11 auto supplier, I was paying $120/mo for individual healthcare. Then, in April I started working for Nissan and my healthcare dropped to $43/mo. For some strange reason, salary have to pay more than hourly at my previous employeer, but at Nissan, it's the same for both hourly and salary (which I prefer).

BTW, I do appreciate effort that the line techs at my plant put into assembling Armada, Titans, QX56's, Quests, and Altimas so that managers can be managers, engineers can be engineers, etc. instead of doing their job for them. At my last employeer I spent a lot of time welding frames on the line and offline due to the lackluster performance of our line techs rather than spending my time being an engineer.

Considering the vast majority of recalls and service bulletins could probably be attributed to engineers designing flawed products and/or processes, thanks for taking time away from your job to do some actual work
