    Working on jobs that they “already shipped” beginning month of May was slow so they try to make up for it at the end of the month by shipping stuff that was due to ship in June. Now the month of June will look bad because they stole all the big jobs for May, and so they do it all over again and ship stuff from July with Junes dates to make up for and so on and so on

    This is illegal in CT without a class 3 permit. Hell, it’s illegal to even look at the picture!

    Lol. My work does the same thing.

    the shop foreman keep pushing for them to take the official hit on "not shipping" one month and then running that cushion into the rest of the year so the last 3 days of every month isn't a madhouse scramble to complete 2 weeks of work in 6 days.. you'd think they'd at least learn, as every month is pretty well documented as far as when it comes around...

    But corporate goals come first I guess...

    Sometimes its nice to be at the bottom of the totem pole. Makes it easier to point and laugh at the recurring insanity.

    Fortunately it was not Fadex! My package shipped with said company, stayed at the same location after being moving normally in the first couple days; it had to be reported for investigation after I called their Headquarter for updates.

    Yeah, can’t like that. I’m below you and it’s going to be rain and a few thunder showers.
