Is it really postable?

Well Gents,

I've done gone and retired from work. It's over, no more sucking up to the big weenie, CEO or whatever it is he wants to call himself.

The company I worked for is in full swing of developing a new "no knowledge" work-flow, so they can hire anyone for the lowest price possible. The problem is that if you are going to design a no knowledge work-flow, it's helpful to know how the work is done!

So... I had enough... there's only so much beating my head against a wall, before I give up and just don't care anymore. I got to that point and realized there was no point in me staying... nobody was going to listen to me... they had their own master plans laid out, and no clue that it wouldn't work. The last thing they were interested in, was listening to an old codger like me... so I left.

I honestly gave up when I talked to an engineer.... he claimed the new work-flow was superior because it saved time. Items were to arrive at my work station, get re-labled and sent to a computerized station that would re-sort the items and deliver them to where they were going. The problem was that we (where I worked and where we would re-label the items) were backed up over 1 month. We could have manually done all the work with our brains and hands, clearing out all the backlog in less than 5 days. BUT, the engineers said that the computer system could deal with it faster, once we processed it with our computers, never mind the fact that it was taking us forever to do just that.

The trick was to ignore the fact that it would take over a month to get the items prepped for the computer. Once the items were corrected, the computer could do the work in no time... it was just that it took humans forever to fix it so the computers could do the job. Doing it the "old" way would have been weeks faster, but we were not to concern ourselves with such nonsense. After all, it would make the engineers look bad!

So... I'm out, bored and tired.... looking for trouble!

Regards

Christian
