Ger Bloem
. Rob joined our company after his work at NXP had finished. In this latter company he built up an experience mainly in ICT related software. This alongside with his private interest in repairing and remodelling motorcycles, was the reason for me to hire Rob. Because electrically powered lift trucks are more and more equipped with electronics, we need people which have a vast knowledge of these techniques. On the other hand old fashioned mechanics can’t be neglected. From this basis Rob proved we were right to have taken this decision. For Rob the field service was another challenge, and also this issue was coped with satisfaction. The one and only reason I had to dismiss Rob, was the crisis we are facing at the moment. The field service amount of work has diminished vastly, and since Rob was on a temporary basis Dutch regulation made it easier to let him go, despite perhaps some others had been more appropriate. In addition to his technical skills I have experienced Rob being a very loyal employee.

Rob initially joined the team as temp work force to fix some HW boards, perform some soldering and administration of samples, demo boards etc... What he was initially hired for he did in a fantastic manner (independent, on time, 100% finished tasks when he would report they would be finished), but he prooved to have much more initiative, technical common sense and ideas than was initially required for the job. Rob ended up making HW prototypes of MP3 players all by himself, developing some ingenious tools that made everybody's life in the lab so much easier and generally anticipating whatever would come up while blending nicely in the team and absorbing whatever knowledge he could. We extended his contract every time without questioning it and he was still part of the team when I left the company. One day while having a cup of coffee with him he said something that is actually very symptomatic of how he worked in our team: "You know the best part about this job is I get actually paid to do my hobby".
