Lesson in Blue Collar Management #34927
With senior fellows, price screw ups in Rolexes.

They think about getting one/are sorta aware of the cost, and explaining how many Rolexes we just threw out, sinks in more than just dollars.

Blue collar employees and people who know what Rolexes cost...I'da thought a Venn diagram of those two groups wouldn't have had a lot of overlap.

You’d be surprised. The stainless steel ones used to be intended as tool watches, and there’s quite a few blue collar types with them.

It’s something they’d have to save for, more than most of their customers, maybe but it’s certainly doable.

It was not a good morning at work. Mistakes were made, and a bunch of dollars of product had to be destroyed.

OK, that I can understand and relate to.

It's bad, but it happens. To quote "Gone With The Wind", "Tomorrow's another day."

Ice cream.

Going back in tonight, so we can get back on schedule.

Nothing like a 3AM start, and then back at 7PM. Big Grin
