so on top of the rate increases and hour changes and delivery changes the USPS doesnt feel the need to scan the boxes of live express shipped birds any longer.or any packages for that matter. Everything we shipped yesterday and are expecting today have been checked in at orgin PO and little to nothing else
Welcome to modern American business management. They want your loyalty, etc. but none is owed the employee. Sorry to hear that your manager was so insensitive. Maybe that is a sign combined with the cutbacks that you should either open your own consulting firm or look for another position. Whatever happens, please do not take it personally. I have been involved in several companies with layoffs and the decisions made to cutback have nothing to do with job performance in most cases. They look at insurance costs, possible future retirement payouts, number of dependents, wage base and make decisions solely on money savings instead of who is the "best" employee.off topic: please forgive.
So I am pretty darn depressed.
I was asked to do a furniture inventory of the building which I initially argued against because I didn’t really see the value-added. And it was going to take quite a bit of time. But the boss insisted and I rolled up my sleeves.
Then, after contemplating it, I thought why don’t I incorporate the use of intelligent dynamic furniture blocks so that when I am done, I can extract the data to a spreadsheet whenever needed and it would be automatically updatable at any time in the future. And I could also extract just the data for certain rooms so that when we go in to do a room reconfiguration we would know exactly what we had and what we needed and could craft a concise list of exactly what we needed to buy or bring up from the warehouse to do the work.
I crafted some intelligent blocks and showed the boss the potential. He hadn’t even known it was possible and He loved it.
And then with his next breath he asked me to write a read-me file so that if they got rid of me that a novice could still operate the blocks and extract the data.

Unless she wants a chicken???Wowthank you!
COF, We are forecast to get 6 - 10 inches. About 1 1/2 on the ground now. Heaviest snow should show up mid-afternoon throught evening. The worst part is the winds at 20-30 mph for this evening which will cause the road problems for Wednesday.Schools and many other public places posted closings last night. I'm hopeful this is the last hurrah for winter and we get spring on time.
I agree with Celtic I would have loved a spa day with my mom for an 18th b-day or even with a best friend. But the cash thing well who wouldn't like that!!
Wow I know I don't currently work in the real world right now but boy I am glad when I do go back I will not be going into that part of bussiness. Factory work may not be very glorrified but there is something to say for not dealing with that kind of stress. Everyone has to deal with stress of losing a job because of economy but in factory work(or at least the companies I've been at) you just have to make sure you do your job right and turn out quantity with quality and your mostly golden, only dealing with the ocasional **insert any expletive here** not so easy to deal with person!
