“How Do You Come Up with New Stupid Every day?”

There’s a lot of finger-pointing going on, and I’m not talking about politics. Nobody wins when it’s us against them.

January is typically a slower month, but that doesn’t seem to be the case this year. Manufacturing is strong and so are the orders, at least in my business.

The emphasis is on-time shipments, as it should be all the time. It’s not difficult, they order the part, I schedule the part and we make the part.

If we’re late on an order — you blame me, and I blame you. And the cycle begins again next month, but what have we solved? Just more ways to point out what you did wrong and what I did wrong.

Concentrate on your tasks and improve your work. It starts with you and the rest will fall into place.
