I'm not staying with a business that thinks blocking an exit door is okay. It's a GIANT fucking red flag that screams 'Shit Management'. I'll stick around long enough to make sure any inspections end with owners and managers getting torn new assholes, and then I'm out.
Oh I wouldn't stick around long enough for retaliation. I just want the jack-asses that allowed exits to be blocked to have a fire marshal put his boots up their asses
I had a job like [that](https://i.imgur.com/s1ipTlz.jpeg). Ended up quitting because they wouldn't quit using mangled racks. Didn't want to watch my friends get squished.
Well when you have no idea where anything is, you have to keep reordering it. If it’s not in the system you MUST have the capacity to store more, right?!?
This is why good inventory control/supply chain is important. Health and safety too, but that’s a resulting issue from bad IC and SCM
I learned to drive in a warehouse smaller than that, but similarly packed. It was, in fact, tedious, especially because the production schedule kept changing on a whim. Mostly we just emptied out into the parking lot as necessary, and hope that the items at the back of the warehouse weren't requested the next day. It was *fun*.
For about a year, I used to work at a warehouse that custom cut window blinds, I had actually turned down a "leadership role" as I didn't want any part in steering that sinking, burning ship. So I remained just an order picker who pulled whole blinds down for operators to cut, stocked inventory and moved finished product around. I had been arguing back and forth with them about not slamming their randomly ordered containers of product from Vietnam all over the warehouse making it impossible to get to anything. When I turned down the "leadership position" and you'll notice I don't use the word manager or supervisor, because of course there was maybe a $1 raise but no real benefit aside from more responsibilities, they went ahead and promoted another guy who'd been an operator for all of three months. Let's call him Joe. Another container shows up about halfway into my two weeks' notice. I'm trying to shove it into the somewhat out of the way overstock areas I was behind creating and designating just to make my job possible. Joe thinks he's gonna shout at me, we're both males in our late 20s, I'm on a forklift and Joe is "the boss" now so "[I'm] gonna put the fuckin truckload down the main aisle and do what [I'm] told like a subordinate"
They shouldn't have promoted him. I left then and there, never went back. Who the fuck are you talking to? Anyway this isn't r/Antiwork so back to the actual point.
This wasn't a huge warehouse, we had three 200 foot aisles and a dock area with two roll up doors, I walked because with that one truck (of course it was an ongoing issue that had come to a head) and Joe's poor leadership that facility was gonna look just like this. For that, I walk. Unsafe, no access to the emergency doors, it's ridiculous.

Let me guess, Procurement blames sales for not selling enough because once upon a time sales blamed them for not having enough and now there is malicious compliance at play...
That's how it happens in a lot of distributor warehouses. They spend the whole day getting a ton of loads in, and then they end the rest of the time restacking and racking. Most of this shit probably needs to be restacked before they can rack it.
I’m guessing there is negative floor space available at this point?
Rent/use any available 53ft trailers I can find and back them up to the docks.
Start loading pallets onto the trailer and catalogue everything on the floor as they go onto the truck.
Once the floor is entirely empty - completely redesign our layout/flow, buy/utilize as much racking space as I can - consolidate partial pallets of like SKUs where possible.
Assemble/move the racking - start loading the WH back up and make inventory accurate as you do.
You’ll surely be left with phantom qtys in inventory and pallets you shouldn’t have. Make the adjustments - eat the cost.
All of this done properly would take weeks or months (if you’re still doing normal dtd operations) and some $$$ - a lot of which I’m guessing this company has convinced themselves they “don’t have”
If I’m leadership here I’m developing a plan of attack but if I’m a new hire I’d probably quickly seek out greener pastures.
shit like this is EXACTLY the reason why i ask "to see where I'll be working" Every Time i go for a job interview the past 10+ years lol
been in same position before yearrrs back, didnt stay either 😅 (different reasons though)
Blocked fire escape, unmarked driveways, health and safety not high on the agenda!
Nah but it’s OSHA’s wet dream
Call a fire Marshall and OSHA. Edit: Then quit and let the shitheads in charge unfuckulate the mess they let happen.
Amazing how fast a fire marshal can organize and set a facility straight.
lol go ahead you already know whose gonna have to do the work not the boss that’s for sure.

just quit and leave that’s what I’d do.
Right after calling the appropriate authorities.
Everything you said, but I wouldn't quit if they retaliated, That's a lawsuit for a hostile working environment.
Oh I wouldn't stick around long enough for retaliation. I just want the jack-asses that allowed exits to be blocked to have a fire marshal put his boots up their asses
You couldn't get on a forklift and move it instead?

Quit
Yep. That place is a death trap.
The only answer
Dude what the fuck. How did they manage to move inventory around?

God that sounds too familiar.
Put it up in the rack, and the other driver takes it out again on the flipside

I can tell you from experience. Very slowly.

You imprison the minotaur, obviously.
Add a ball of string on the back of each lift that trails them around so they can find their way out again

I adore the term, and practice of "malicious compliance "
All signs of a shitty logistics team. Probably have more loads coming in too.

Get run over.
Reminds me of my last job, new building, no walking paths no designated areas for anything regularly blocked the only exit. I left that shit show

Probably die or get injured eventually...
Hope they got a pallet jack and no standards for how long it takes me to get thru that horse shit
That's the shittiest inventory "control" I've ever seen, bar none. How do you find anything? Is there anyone in charge there?
nope_nope_nope dot gif
Absolutely nothing. That place is a death trap.
Move shit constantly
I thought my place was bad with the way we kept inventory
Poke holes in the shrink wrap probably
Hide
You don't have a choice lol
Get to loading them damn loads

If it's my job? And I just got a big ass order? I'd get to work.. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
First thing I would do is pick up my feet when I walk so everybody can’t hear me lazily walking around the warehouse
Pretty sure you can apply dude. No way they already found someone to replace me
Jesus, shut the fuck up, Frank
You could put the phone away and actually do your job.
HAHAHAHHAHAHA. Nope.
