i used to be responsible fer stocktakes, monthly @ annual, though probably different to yours mate, as it was calculating volumes as well as the counting of materials. but gotta say 0.5% n i would probably have got a rise on me annual appraisal,was not n easy task in a large chemical plant. i agree with cmonstanley, they sound like real assholes, thing is though most are the same these days n not worth a light, hate to sound pessimistic but never forget- you are a number, ya don't count, sadly thats the way it is.
