From 2024, but funny to read…

What makes this situation so ridiculous is that while we’re all watching for scammers attempting to imitate legitimate organisations, FedEx is out there imitating scammers!

    It’s because they’re big companies. The bigger they get, the less they can focus on any one thing. More people means more risk of someone being unqualified, and less oversight through more layers of middle management, most of whom are also unqualified.

    Your local business employs fifteen people. One owner, two managers, and 12 staff. Everyone knows everyone and if they’re truly bad at their job they can’t deflect and skate (unless the owner allows it).

      been going through this where I work for the past couple years now. after a few dozen people and with a focus on growth but not the underlying support structures to allow for that, it’s been a fucking disaster. it’s been very difficult for me to accept that it is impossible for me to meet my previous standards because of the ridiculous workload, scheduling, and piss poor communication and interdepartmental processes.

      scale that x1000+ and yep it’s clear why it’s a disaster at huge companies

      Only the owner’s son is allowed to, and his cousin, and his wife’s friend. But everybody knows that and just fix their mistakes. They’re such a sport, is this wholesome? /S
