Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #185: Summer Activities

I just learned of a company that makes restaurant deliveries for many different restaurants. The options are just so good that it's either going to be overwhelming and therefore I won't order, or I'm about to start eating really well at work.

I would go with option B but option A would be better for my waist line :p

That's a BIG part of the problem. Far too many options look tasty. Even the salads at some of those places look like a Big Mac would have fewer calories.

Howdy Lodge. Greetings from Vegas. Just came in from the pool. It's actually too hot to sit out. Treating myself to a facial in a bit.

It actually would've been paid for had I stupidly not moved $10 worth of chips off one number to another before the croupier said no more bets, and naturally, that's the number that hit. A $300 screw up. Grrrr.

Another employee canned last night due to the new Error Policy. And 2 more are getting close. People are p*ed, including bosses. Someone did the math and avg % you need to be at ina month's time is about 99.985%. Minimum. Whee.

Are they trying to get rid of the deadwood?

It is actually the harder workers that are getting canned. More tasks done, more chances for errors. And if you do not perform at a certain speed, then you end up on the crap end of that spectrum, too. Corporate really has their head up their arse on this one.

Better than 99.997%. Why don't they strive for 6 sigma? God, I hate that I know this crap.

So instead of setting incremental, achievable, improvement goals they went all in and said be perfect by June 1? Wow....someone really thought that one through.
And aren't you guys the benchmark anyway in distributor world? I thought I had read that somewhere...

I know we're up there. We're still toying with the idea of expanding same-day service, and the only reason MPLS/StP still has a main building and an off-site, is that this market doesn't meet the demand for a 1 million sq ft warehouse (I think we're at 250K for the main, I know it's 22.5K for my building). Go big or stay put, is the message.

The corpie who explained all this refuses to believe that a human can make an error if they follow every step in the process that is taught. That's fine in theory, BUT...

The thing is, I'm in the free and clear right now, and I'm still p*ed about this.

Typical corporate stuff from people who've never worked a day on the line.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #185: Summer Activities

Good Morning, Lodge!

Working in the bindry/warehouse today. We have large projects that need to get out the door sooner rather than later.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #185: Summer Activities

I did not sleep well last night and find myself very cranky this morning. No, even more than usual.:p I don't think I'm going to have much patience for some vendors today... Or for architects, just hope I don't lose my temper with a client.
