TRP: Hail Marys And False Hopes

Re: TRP: Hail Marys And False Hopes

Not only that, but they can pull you over just to SEE if you have it on or not. Pretty ridiculous.

Seatbelt laws are dumb. If someone is stupid enough to risk their life more by not wearing one, let em.

I agree. The problem is when children learn from people that don't wear seat belts. For instance, a 9 year old thinking their big brother is so cool 'cause he doesn't wear a seat belt.

OK, being able to pull you over just to check is way overboard! :eek:

Not sure if they can word it that way, but that is what it amounts to. They have to say they pulled you over for suspicion of not wearing it. But we all know it is just screening for some other more serious offense.

Well, I think some * is gonna go down at work this week, if not tomorrow.

An error (3rd of the month) happened yesterday. Worker A picked a manufacturer's carton of eyewear, and even though the shippack was 12, there was 13 in the box. Worker B didn't notice it either when he shipped it. Word was that Big Boss wanted to let someone go because of it. :eek:

Everyone got the lecture today in a meeting, saying that "stronger action might have to be made" because of the errors. Mind you, we're still at something like 99.3% accuracy or so, but the goal/expectation is 99.99% :eek:

Later on in the day, Worker C made the same picking error. Then, Worker D made a picking error and WORKER B missed that mistake and shipped it.

Right now I'm worried for Worker B, since he's been there as long as I have, and he is really a good worker.
 
Re: TRP: Hail Marys And False Hopes

But if Worker B is fired, who will you share your boring arse stories like this one with? :(

Ha. Ha.

This just sucks because they are back at managing through fear, like this past spring. It *es me off to hear them say, "We all make mistakes, we're human" and then wonder if you make a mistake, will it result in you losing your job. :mad:

It's not like we're dealing with nuclear material or anything. :rolleyes:

Sounds like you need 6-Sigma. 6-Sigma methods yield a 99.99966% accuracy. This was the topic of my training last week, the second week of November and the second week of December. It was very boring, but it is supposed to work.

Nope, you're dealing with someone's profit line. And to a business, that's more important than nuclear material :p

Well, considering that they would have to replace whoever was let go (in fact, we just added two much-needed people to the mix), and spend a crapton to train them, and lose productivity in the meantime, and still have no guarantee that they would be "better" workers........

I see a lot of over-reaction and over-expectations at this point in time.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with your points above completely. But too many places take a very short-term approach to the bottom line.

South Park could be great tonight. It's one of DL's masturbatory dreams. No, not jailbait. That other one: wrestling. :D
 
Re: TRP: Hail Marys And False Hopes

Eh - I'd rather switch back and forth between wild-avs (2-1 avs halfway through the 3rd) and hawks-canucks (2-1 chicago after 2). The games are offset a bit, so as a period ends in the wild game, one is in its early stages in the hawks game.

No way. This is shaping up to be a classic. :D
