Common practice in common companies. I was lucky and "worked" in really good companies doing what I loved. Did work one place with a Jerk, luckily I was in the shop and he had no effect on me. My dad wanted me to paint a fender on his Ford LTD. The Jerk had my boss, Jack, pull a car in the bay I needed at the end of the day, lock the car, and give him the keys. Jack left the wheels straight and showed me what I needed to do to push it out. The look on the Jerks face was priceless the next morning when he came in and saw the LTD painted and sitting in that bay. We would do anything to jab him.
Today, there is no regard in a lot of companies for knowledge and or experience. We are living in a Walmart world where the most important thing is money, everything else is secondary.
