I'm convinced most of the office people with whom I work are complete morons. Most of them have a college education, and most of them have plenty of experience in other companies. Well, at least enough experience to lead our hiring staff to believe they would be qualified for their position. This is not the case. I am the company's production scheduler. For those of you who don't know what a production scheduler is, I can explain. A production scheduler takes all the orders that come through our sales and customer service department, shuffles them all together, and plans out which areas of production will complete which jobs and at what time. In my factory, which is a paint manufacturing facility, we have 5 aerosol filling lines, 2 bulk filling areas, one bottle filling area, and one pen filling area. I also schedule our blending department, which consists of (on average) 5 guys who blend the large orders of paint before they get filled. Our custom color match department schedules their own paint, but I give them the orders to do so. I don't feel like diving into all of the reasons I believe these people are stupid at the moment, but if you read any more of my rants, you'll find out for yourself just how dumb these people really are.
I've learned a lot about people in the last 3.5 years I've been with this company. Most of what I've learned has made me wish I never had to interact with other humans for the rest of my life, but at the same time, a fair amount of what I've learned has been just fascinating. I'm sure most of you have similar work experiences, so feel free to comment or share. Thanks everyone!
