She was. She cost the company so much money during those 4 weeks when production was closed down that even her bosses loyalty couldn’t save her at that point. Hundreds, if not thousands of orders to clients not delivered, clients pulling back and finding other suppliers for their businesses, carriers refusing to deal with her directly, those were all things that couldn’t be covered anymore
Couldn’t do that, I tried, but being a large open space office with almost 40 people in there. So everyone was in everyone’s business.
My manager didn’t trusted anyone. Had the highest turnover rate in the company. In my position they had 7 buyers within 2 and a half years. Her bosses were aware there were issues within our team, but trusted her more than even numbers on papers as she was their first employee and felt loyalty towards her after 20 years working together
I did when I went back in the next day to pick up my stuff. The younger ones were shocked while the older ones thought I exaggerated by quitting. They agreed with the fact that I was cheating saying that I was raising the standard to a point where they couldn’t compete. I still remember our accountant “if everybody did what you did, then the older ones like me wouldn’t have a place to work because you younger people and your computers took away our chance to work”. I do get being afraid for your future and having a resistance to change and low adaptability, so for ones over 50 I really do understand where they were coming from. They were barely learning how to use Facebook at that point…
15 years ago that was quite accurate: notebooks and pens. That company hated anything digital
Oh hell no, I had already relocated to another city in the meantime. Plus the HR manager was present when I tendered in my resignation and said nothing. So no way I would return there
I still don’t know why she didn’t even think for a second there could be an error in the system.
Unless maybe she was hiding something, maybe stealing funds and hiding them as overstock?
There a new influx in the user migration as well, as some subreddits started pinning lemmy and kbin.social instances on their subs. Also if you go on protest subreddits (such as ModCoord and Save3rdPartyApps) almost every post has a thread/comment redirecting people to the fediverse.
