I have this woman whose job is making BOMs and she only makes BOMs for half the items and uses descriptors for the rest. Uses small, medium and mini interchangeably. Then acts shocked that the product size doesn't match the artwork. Like.....c'mon. Just make the loving BOMs.

Lazyfire posted:I'm sorry, what? Is she referencing sub-assembly drawings and not properly referencing them? A BOM isn't half guesswork/open to interpretation. Besides As Required designations or Alternate part numbers it's supposed to be an exact thing telling you the dash number, make from and quantity. ummmm i work in arts and crafts so way more simple than that. We are selling clothespins to walmart. She specced "small clothespins" and sent a variety of samples to my factory in China. When she should have made a BoM that said they were 6cm x 0.7cm x 1.5 cm or whatever the art/samples were cuz the factory just ordered the smallest clothespin in the array of samples and assigned it to the item number. I mentioned this would be a problem at the time of sourcing and never got a response. Now it's a month later and she's flabbergasted because the factory was sent art two weeks ago, oh me oh my, two weeks!

Lazyfire posted:I don't think it should be much different. You should have half pieces with sizes, a spring per size and an assembly with two halves plus the right spring per size. If she just assumed sending something to a Chinese factory and asking for replication would produce a viable product then she hosed up. I've done that before and it ended poorly. Yeah, it doesn't even get that complicated since these items are all available on the open market and the Chinese I deal with are all trading company people since I lack boots on the ground. The clothespins already exist. Even just having the component dimensions in the description on the line list would have avoided this but I'm dealing with a corporate culture where it's ok to send an email with the subject: "Items". They come from publishing and are new to sourcing/manufacturing products. Everyone here thinks China is a magical place where you send them a jpeg and get back containers full of what was in the photo and they are southerners and I am in NJ so every time I point out stuff like this I'm considered rude. On the plus-side I started working a second full-time job for a flower grower and everything's domestic and the company seems really nice and competent.

d0s posted:I love it when people are just shocked when the lowest bidder chinese factory they chose sends an order where half the items are out of tolerance and smell like cigarettes, or a component is upside down on a few thousand PCBs. like every chinese factory is the one cranking out iphones lol one time i had to go do an inspection with my wife to a partygoods vendor and some idiot at my company had sold them like a million units of paper plates for 70 grand deliverable within 40 days and of course every unit had, yeah, literal cigarette ash and just factory grime in it. And they wanted all their money back, so my company sends us to verify the claim which is of course true but we drive there and the place is in Goshen New York and it's a hasidic operation and the first guy I meet, who is dressed like what most goyum would picture a rabbi to look like, my wife (small chinese immigrant and normally shy) just confidently pumps this dudes unoffered hand like "HI! HOW ARE YA? NICE TO KNOW YA!" and he recoils in disgust and runs away and so I had to explain hasidic jews to her and why no one will make eye contact with her let alone speak to her and she was like "these jews are very sexist, I hate them" It was pretty funny. And the enteman's museum was right there so it wasn't a bad trip.

My main motivation here isn’t money but rather to find a way to not really work. I don’t have a very expensive lifestyle and I’ve already got way more hobbies and interests than I have time for, even working from home. Same. I do maybe 3 hours a day tops between both jobs. Now I just gotta transition the one role to remote, which could take some time but will be worth it. You gotta find one minimal time sink remote job and then find another. Could take a while but it's not impossible.

Yes! I'm headed towards that same vow but w/r/t being in an office. If the only benefit is that I can be scolded for something that was OK a month ago that doesn't effect my productivity then I'm not the one that needs to adapt. Not excited about juggling two jobs and interviews but if I can land two salaries and stay at the beach then it's worth it.

Lascivious Sloth posted:But are you juggling two full time jobs, or part time? and is it because you need to, or to rake in the cash? I think I could do a second full time job remotely in the same area I'm currently working in, but I don't need to and i don't know if it'd be worth working so much. Also, how do you deal with meetings that are scheduled at the same time? Many meetings it's on me to tell them when I'm free, but for my manager and their manager it would start to become suspicious if I kept changing their meeting request dates/times over and over. It was two full time jobs. It was to rake in cash because I needed too and could. I've been lucky enough to have a remote job since March 2020, it's maybe 5-10 hours of actual work per week. So I got a second job, locally, in April to help with the debt, fifteen hundred a month childcare for our three year old and put away $ before second child is born in February. Both jobs had the exact same salary. When I interviewed I said I could take this lowered salary on the basis that I'd keep my other laptop open during the day and it wouldn't take too much of my time. I completed all my tasks ahead of schedule BUT On a busy day, I got enough phone calls to piss off my new job boss and having a second laptop open on my desk became a point of contention for her. She emailed me about it for the second time yesterday and I walked off site. I came in this morning and was locked out of email. It was totally a decorum thing. There was never any need to be on-site for this job to begin with. I'm done with offices. I am now applying for fully remote jobs

Lascivious Sloth posted:oh, interesting. yes, gently caress working from office. I would have just done the other job from a different browser etc. if you could, but I guess some places have monitoring software and actually look at what staff are doing. My jobs have never had time for anyone to monitor our browser use. But anyway, I'm working from home and it was a recent bilateral move, so no pay increase, but the conditions are so much better I would have taken a pay cut. Now I just do the work to achieve my goals that we agreed on, and work on my other personal projects on the side. If I ever have to go back to working ffrom office it's going to be a hard stone to swallow. Yeah, I had considered just opening Office in a browser or setting up original company's email on my phone but I was already disliking the 5 day commute (since I got hired "post covid" there was no move to remote consideration for me) and I got the impression that this woman straight up wouldn't like me no matter how much I improved their SEO. On the plus side, I got 2.5 months of checks out of them and now I know how easy it is to stack 9-5's in CPG operations and I plan on getting right back on the multiple salary wagon right away but fully remote. Oh and boss woman thought she'd be non confrontational by showing up an hour later today and having someone else fire me but she was driving in as I was leaving and so I got to give her a nice out the window finger as we passed which gave the rest of a day a nice shove this jay oh bee kinda lighthearted vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyxoLqbFDkI

I'd take the trouble to outline a process they should follow but I don't get paid enough and the last time I spoke out of turn to tell the CEO she needed to put the company's address on packaging because laws I almost got fired.

Lazyfire posted:I spent part of this week trying to explain to management that our designers hosed up and failed to specify that a serial number needed to be put on the label for a cable harness. So for the last few days people are demanding I ship finished product that meets all of our design requirements back to the vendor to be relabled, something we could do on site. Notably, the vendor didn't do anything wrong, they labeled the parts TO OUR SPECIFICATIONS, but we've decided that we want to change it now that someone realized we hosed up and put the onus on the vendor to fix our mistake. Same. These dumb shits in the South fail to spec' things or they do something like run prototype packaging as production and then when it catches up to them, they without fail blame the heathen Chinese. I have to communicate everything. It gets tiring.
