Not My Finances But...

Today was a bad day at work. We had some material with a defect on the end. Instead of cutting just the bad part, 2 inches, some of it was cut as much as 17 inches. It was quite a mess. There were enough bad pieces that the supervisor decided we'd cut them all so that they looked kind of even. We had a meeting about it. The saw was set up. Someone got frustrated with it and set it up to cut the other end, the good end. The saw was set up again. Anyway, much time and material wasted. Boss says that we lost about 3.5-4.5K because people can't follow instructions.
