OT: Another PO Question

Hi Jim, that is interesting. I am also the PM in a small town in Wisconsin. There is a good possibility that I may know your son.

Rick, thanks for your explanation.

I will just nod by head.

It's all in the "widgets"..............I deal with it every day at my job. The manager's are rewarded with bonuses based on the "widgets" produced per employee work hour. And, yes...........Wells Fargo Bank is a very good example when it's taken unscrupulously too far.

Howard - Tell the person at the post office the same thing that Tom Cruise said in the movie Risky Business, "Sometimes you gotta say WTF". No, but seriously. Why use the pre-printed labels ? Do you save money ? Would she have said that if you hand written the return address ?

Nope, I don't know Dan.

Thanks, Rick

Rick,
If he ever answers I will ask him what town he is in, I don't remember off hand although he lives in Oshkosh.

We have the same thing at our company, only they call them "Beans". Get "X" amount of work completed and write off/close out the work order on or a head of time and they get their Beans.

Mngr's push even if parts, manpower, etc, are not available to write these off but when you put in your work report, "As per Mngr's request, job is not completed, but was requested to close out task" they quickly change their tune when they know if sh*t hits the fan, they will be held accountable.

Most of the time, it is their lack of planning, foresight that is responsible for these tasks not being completed on time.

Like most politicians, I question how these people got to these positions in the first place!

Have you ever considered just making that your sig line? No, but seriously.

They are not actually pre printed. They are printed thru eBay when I receive a payment from the buyer. I am not going to hand write my labels because it takes too long and my handwriting sucks.
Yes, you do get a discount if you print your labels via eBay.

BTW, how are you? I don't remember your name but we sat next to each at a Net54 dinner I believe in Cleveland.

From my son in New London, WI --


The clerk gave some bad info. It does not matter where the packages are dropped off. When a customer prints a prepaid shipping label the return address is where the (credit) goes. That is where the getting credit came from but just changing the zip code on a prepaid package makes no difference. He is correct that it could delay a return or worse get sent to the mail recovery center. As long as they can read the original zip it still would have a chance to get returned.
