#backlog

A Thunder Bay tire recycling company is experiencing significant operational challenges due to a backlog in Ontario's tire recycling system. This has resulted in approximately 20,000 tires accumulating on their property, exceeding storage limits and leading to violations. Consequently, the business has been forced to lay off five employees over the past year. The owner is calling for changes to the provincial system, which she believes is affecting numerous businesses and communities. Load Queen Services is working to reduce its tire inventory while awaiting processing appointments.

Going into this cart system with a Sap issue, we will be getting huge Nos orders that cant be edited. More dumping of product and more horrible backstock. Greed!!

So we rolled out these AI tools last week. You know who you are. They are a complete disaster. The tools provide minimal value and very tedious to use. They actually make our work much more difficult, all to improve “quality”. This is going to lead to a backlog of work. What is the play here? Create a disaster on purpose so some higher-up finally gets that AI ain’t all it’s cracked up to be?

Westlake garage is backed up like crazy today.
Did the 8+ rule already go into effect?

How long they can keep the lies so sweet? Each quarter blame the same issue. Really? obviously anyone can use AI to tell the problem is the management. That Ken West baby should retire...

At least 21 employees in the Genesee County Prosecutor’s Office face potential layoffs. This is due to a state grant program running out of funds. The High-Crime Community Support Grant previously funded their positions. Prosecutor David Leyton warns of severe case backlogs and jail overcrowding. County officials require $1.8 million to retain these employees through the fiscal year.

Instead of providing customers and partners with transparent information about the current situation, Lenovo is optimizing at the expense of its customers. They are actively intervening in the backlog to achieve the highest prices for rare components. I'm not sure how long this will work in the current situation, precisely because other manufacturers are acting differently here.

Class action lawsuit coming soon to Michael Dells desk for review. Count up all your revenue that is Pending Production….we have 3 months to get ever shipped out to hit our attainment to make our commission.. if we don’t hit 60%, then we owe back to Dell…
Be on top of factories and team to build and ship your product out ASAP!!! That 60% is what needs to SHIP!

I’m curious how much backlog will actually ship that will count towards the 60%.

Who cares about the 100% when 60% is what were actually needing..

Is it just Xerox being cheap…. We’re not in a COVID situation so what’s the excuse?

The federal Immigration Department is experiencing significant job cuts. These cuts have led to a rise in application backlogs and processing times. Over one year, backlogged applications exceeding service standards increased by 12.7 percent. The Canada Employment and Immigration Union reports increased workloads and employee burnout. The department attributes longer processing times to growing demand for Canada.

Adding to the Walmart orders again before Christmas when they said they wouldn’t be doing it anymore. All my orders jumped by 50-70 cases, locked in. Who’s doing it? There’s a mystery right there. Everyone prepare to be miserable sorting through pallets of 250-350 cases, working in crowded stores and leaving a cr-p ton of backstock

after months of "big bla bla reorg" I was moved to "superstar team", its almost 2 months and actually I have no idea what they are trying to achieve.

I thought previous place was mad, but at least i could test something, raise a bug and wait forever for anyone to care... or do more stuff/testing.. something meaningful.
sometimes it was quite sensible.

Here?
100% headless chickens flow, they run from one side to other developing secretly something then dropping it and doing something else. Total madness repeating buzz words and hype phrases. Worst of all are the secrets within "team". backlog is full of bullsh-t, but PO jump in and secretly give some weird tasks to teammates.
