    Let's play "Guess What Happened."

    Recently there was a safety and shrink committee meeting at the swamp and the minutes of said meeting were posted in the breakroom.

    I do have to credit the person who types up the minutes (probably LP but I'm not 100% sure) for taking a mundane act of bureaucracy and making it sound fun and interesting.

    There was a summary of customer and employee accidents. One of the incidents was described as follows:

    Incident: Employee encountered customer's saliva.
    Cause of incident: Hmmmmmm.....
    Recommended course of action: stand back when angry customer leans forward.

    Damn, now I want to know which of my co-workers got spit on and why.

    That's the course of action? Try to stay away from crazy people? No wonder no one is getting any work done.

      If it were really that easy, then my job would get easier because everybody would be steering clear of us freight people.

      We always say you don't have to be crazy to work freight, but it sure helps.

        Did you have a convo yesterday with my KK delivery person? He said pretty much the same thing (and I suspect this one may be a pscyho in disguise, but I digress.)

        Speaking of the "shrink awareness" we had a personal visit from a "specialist" a week and a half ago. I happened to see the notes of that visit lying in the open on the desk in the back manager's office when I went to check my mail.

        Only thing in my area that he said I wasn't "delivering" on: the reclaim NOT being done every weekend (per discussion with me.)

        It appeared to have been done last weekend but we'll see Monday when I go back if Management has continued to be "consistent" in doing it for a weekend of two and stopping because "we got too busy over the weekend and couldn't do it" (yet our Store Manager is supposed to be all about Company Policy, which states that reclaim must be done every single day. If the DSD person is off that day, it falls on Management to get it done.)

        Heh.

        So yeah, these meetings and visits are just that - useless waste of payroll.
