this is a question to bosses/workers etc regarding stocktakes and I am ****ed off a bit so excuse me if I rant a bit..
I work in the distribution/warehouse sector and we had a stocktake yesterday which I organise, set up, and count with the bosses - the warehouse is about 20,000 square foot with £5m worth of stock there or there abouts it takes me the best part of 5 weeks to organize and get ready..and have done so since I started with the company 4 years ago as its part of my job now.
when I started the loss for that year was £45k , the year after it was down to a loss of £37k, year after that £30k and yesterday was £14k with a percentage of 0.5 so it proves that I do my job pretty well...however my main bosses told me that this wasnt good enough and that it should have been lower
..I told them that they hold about £4/5m worth of stock and to have a loss of £14k is pretty damn good given the amount of breakages that does happen with the goods we handle..I also said that 0.5% is a superb result for any stocktake and they should be happy as most companies would..they said I was wrong and didnt evan say thanks for the work done and end result...even though I have saved them more than £30k in the 4 years I have been there
my question is to those who do stocktakes - would your company be happy with you and a 0.5% result and £14k loss for the year or the equivelant to...
its really ****ed me off to the point of perhaps going to work elsewhere for someone who would appreciate the work, money and results I can achieve/save them...
question/rant over...
and breathe
