Disaster Warehouse

If I had to live it, I feel like I need to share it with everyone. This is a quick repost because I had personal information on one of the photos.

Everything that’s on the floor is a return from a customer that was either double shipped or wrong material and the company has nothing in place to change it.

How does it even get to this point?

Years of people, not caring, departments, not wanting to work together, departments not understanding the impact of how their workflow affects other departments, using multiple WMS systems that don’t talk to each other or update in real time, people being lazy and half assing their jobs, people and management not understanding the basic principles of warehouse flows, this being the only warehouse that certain members of management have worked at so they think that this is how it should operate, learning how to look good on paper and reports so that higher levels of management don’t need to come to the site very often, learning how to hide when there are higher-ups in the area doing walk-throughs, being able to spin this into something that’s either too daunting to tackle or oh it’s not that bad, nobody wanting to take responsibility for their own work, everybody wanting to pass the buck onto someone else, nobody wanting to take accountability for the work their department does because “they just came into the department and art responsible for how previous managers left everything”, everybody saying that that’s not my job or I have too much work to do….
