I like my job. Its the best job I've ever had.
But I'm also sick and tired of it. Everyday, somebody, or something pisses me off because they aren't doing, or its not done the right way. I guess it's because I care too much?
I had some dude tell me "If you've got a problem with me, you come to me about it!" Because I gave what he sent down the line to the supervisor. This guy sent down a brace that is about 14-16 inches long.... in a flattened box (he didn't bother to build the box). Didn't bother to tape or staple the edges. I guess he assumed I was going to strap the box.
This part would have fit just fine in a next size bigger box. Sure there will be way more room in the box, but at least its not going to fall out or puncture a hole in the box.
...So, the Supervisor gives him his "packed" part back and tells him to repack it and walked away. So the guy builds a box (the next size bigger) and looks at me and says, "does this make any sense to you?" referring to all the extra room in the box. I reply with, "Yes. It does." "How?" "Because the parts not going to fall out of that built box or puncture any holes. How does the way you did it make sense?" He didn't have an answer for that. ...which there really isn't an excuse. The only things that should come down the line like that are Mud flaps and mats because they are actually too large for any box we have.
It's quite shocking at how stupid people can actually be. You're a grown adult! You should know better!
I feel like I'm a "tattletale". Which is really a horrible feeling. I hate having to go to a Supervisor to have them tell whoever to fix what they did. But I know if I were to tell them, they couldn't give 2 shits. But at least this (hopefully) lets the supervisor's know that I care enough that the job is done right.
This is only 1 of several things that pissed me off today.
