Production schedules and why they are messed up

I wish I worked at a company that actually has a production scheduler. As it happens, the nut jobs where I work just don't have a clue.

Imagine you are a company that wants something made and you ask that it be delivered by a certain date. You give the company making your item at least 30 to 60 days notice thinking that the company can get your stuff to you on time. Not if you order the stuff from the place I work at.

I am constantly working on projects that were not even kitted

A sure sign you don't like working where you do

If you are not sure if you really like working where you do, here is a list that will help you make up your mind:
  • You call into work at least once a month, claiming you are sick when you are not
  • You are really beginning to hate it when the boss mentions that you have to stay for "mandatory" overtime, about one hour before the end of your shift
  • You have actually fantasized how you would quit your job
  • You are running out of excuses to call in with, the "sickness" was only good for one week and the car trouble for a few days, the death in the family might be next on the list
  • You have started to take up unhealthy habits like drinking at work to combat the stress of the stupid co-workers the company keeps hiring for you to train
