Sometimes, I'm SMH about our office people.
We needed [wooden] disposable pallets for packaging. They must hold at least two metric tons, so roughly 4400 lbs.
They ordered a truckload.
They paid for it.
Whole.
Today, the truck arrived.
It's wood.
They hold three tons.
They have only five boards instead of seven, thus the space between boards is too wide.
We can't use them.
Explanation from the office?
They were cheaper…
Just ask, people.
Just ask.
Or look it up.
"If the trend continues, we are heading for a crisis: a generation of employees who never become seasoned insiders, incapable of either collaborating or leading. When a generation of workers never acquire the tools they need to lead, the pipeline of leadership falls apart. In time, so too will our organizations."
