I’m going to display my ignorance on buying football shirts for all to see.... They sell shirts with the names on, but don’t offer a service to buy a “blank” shirt on which you could add a name of your choice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I reckon I'd be one of those players who wears gloves and short sleeve shirts. My hands and toes are the only real parts of my body that get cold and when they do, it can be painful as ****. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen several hundred grand wasted rather than hand it back to the shareholders at the end of the year. Lunacy at its finest. I think this happens everywhere. It definitely happens at my place and happened at my last place too. The thing that senior directors and people who decide these budgets don't seem to understand is one year doesn't define another. Just because you managed one year on a budget doesn't mean you can manage the next year. In my first role at my current company I tracked cost savings that Supply Chain made. Every year the target went up and every year the amount of savings we could get fell. Most of the savings were made by transferring parts we made to low cost suppliers (mostly in asia). But obviously the problem with that is there's only so many parts you can move. Once you've moved all the parts we make the savings dry up. But they wouldn't hear it. Every year we'd spend the whole year saying we're going to struggle to hit our target and savings would be much less the next year and they'd nod along and say they'd understand. but at the end of the year they'd say "Well you managed $x million this year so next year you need to get x+3" We finally missed the target by absolutely miles and they seemed really surprised! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or worse still, to hit the target they agree to move something complex and high tech to a supplier who really aren’t capable. Then you spend even more on quality issues and problems launching the resourced part. I’ve been there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's an issue, especially in aerospace as the quality standards are so high for understandable reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was playing for our work team, we were short of a goalie for an upcoming game. One of the lads in my office volunteered, but forgot to bring his kit on the day of the match. He played anyway - in three piece suit, tie and smart shoes. With his tightly-rolled umbrella propped in the back of the goal. He played a blinder, and we won. Absolute legend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time quoting myself, but it has just occurred to me how amusing it would be if the sticker glue wasn’t vegan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
