Okay, these past few weeks at work have been sort of insane. Mostly, it’s been filled with coworkers that have decided to keep their brains at home.
Examples:
We got some new printers on the floor. When these printers need to refilled with paper, you have to make sure that you don’t move the paper adjuster to a size that doesn’t match what you’ve put in. I’ve seen countless coworkers standing an staring at the error message over the past two weeks not knowing what to do. No matter how many times they are told (or how many signs are posted) they just don’t seem to be getting it. Frustrating to say the least!
Another printer situation. If putting paper in tray 4 always causes the printer to jam… Stop putting paper in that tray!!!
Mailing invoices is something we frown on because it costs more than EDI or email. Sometimes we have no choice though. When your manager tells you to mail the invoices, don’t waste 4 hours of my day trying to figure out how to send them EDI when you already know it’s not going to work.
Finally, if a customer hasn’t paid some invoices and you’ve sent them at least 5 times, maybe it is time to pick up the phone and call them! Why are people so afraid of talking on the phone!?
Okay, that’s just a taste of what’s been going on the past few weeks. Hopefully people will get their acts together. I’m not holding my breath.
Yeah, that’s all pretty irritating.
