[QUOTE="soberups, post: 843865, member: 14668"] This "simple and local" failure is yet another example of the chronic, ongoing, wasteful problems we have with a [I]wide range[/I] of issues.... PAS, EDD, time studies, stops-per-car quotas, flawed buildings or equipment, flawed policies or procedures, etc. etc. What these issues [I]all[/I] have in common...is that there is no hope of ever getting them fixed because the "management" people who must deal with them every day [I]lack the authority to solve them[/I]. The authority and resources needed to resolve these issues is tightly controlled and guarded by the absentee landlords from IE. I could spend an entire [I]week[/I] describing to you in detail the ridiculous "band-aids" that hold our operation together, and the wasteful hoops we must constantly jump through in order to meet silly quotas, generate meaningless metrics, or work around otherwise insignificant obstacles. The scenario I described with the street in the wrong unit is [I]nothing[/I] compared to some of the other issues we face every day. And my building is [I]far[/I] from unique in that regard. We pole-vault over mouse turds and spend $500 to save a dime, for no other reason than some IE guy in another state says we have to....and none of our local "management" people have the authority to do anything other than pretend that it makes sense.
