All for nothing if they don't sh1tcan  the person that signed off on hiring Tyler.

I enjoyed the realistic and adult response to the disaster.:hand-pink-waving:

18 years of zero shutdowns... and they threw it in the trash .Corporate genius.

That shows a lack of appreciation and a lack of understanding of what was accomplished by 1950 secretaries.

She was lucky that nobody was hurt while she documented the disaster unfolding.

6:37 “…like a rattlesnake trying to yodel.”  LOL.  Love it!  26:11 “…no music, no doughnuts.”  NO DOUGHNUTS?? 😵‍💫😢😵‍💫

What I love about this is how it shows the power of patience and documentation. Diane didn’t fight chaos with chaos—she fought it with consistency and evidence. Tyler’s “modernization” crumbled because it ignored reality, while her system endured because it respected it. The plaque isn’t just about her checklist, it’s about honoring experience and integrity in a world that’s obsessed with “new” for its own sake. Quiet wisdom will always outlast loud ignorance.

Best story yet! Having worked in manufacturing, I can so relate😀 Keep up the great work.

They should put a "Tyler" plaque up in the men's room above the toilet.

I once worked for someone who was a people person and good salesman as well. We worked in a family retail business. It was during a time before computers actually were capable of running a business. I was a family member who preferred the background. Did inventory management, manually made price changes, paid invoices and did the dull work that needed to be done. I even sold on the floor. Needless to say, I left after 20 years. I saw the handwriting on the wall. I left and went into computer work. It was a hard change but I worked the hours and moved up. Not right away but a few years down the road the old business that I was part of faded away. I didn't keep track of them but I knew the reasons it faded away. You have to take care of the details. You have to be a jack of all trades. You have to catch the thief working for you. You have to maintain the checklists whether they are in your mind or on a piece of paper. It is kind of like the old fossil maintaining the checklists in this story and knowing by the sound of things whether it needs to be serviced so it will not die.

You would be surprised how accurate this story is. My brother worked in a chemical manufacturing facility and some of the stupid stuff that went on is unbelievable and some of the chemicals you had to be in a totally enclosed suit because if you weren't the stuff would kill you. Yet they didn't always follow lockout tag out and didn't pay attention when the mechanics told them they were problems! As a result there were serious incidents that resulted in contamination outside the building! Also people on the production line were injured.

I enjoyed the realistic and adult response to the disaster. The atrocious Peter Principle leaders are entertaining, but without a measured response to the problem, credulity is strained. Good story. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Checklists and modernization go hand in hand. You can still have a network of computers at each station with checklists that need to be completed by the operator with accountability

...Good job Diane...👍👍👍... Do you think Tyler really understands what went wrong and why or is he still carrying that know-it-all chip on his shoulder waiting for a payback ??? ...at least the CEO knew what time it was and gave credit to where credit was due right to Diane...and made it public... Stand tall stay strong Diane...you got this..💕

A week later and your rubbish is STILL  in the bin???  😢

Keys to the engine room. That pretty much sez it all. Some front office glamour boy with not one clue as to how machinery works, gets hired and destroys things through sheer ignorance. Leave the machinery to the oil stained grunts in the back who KNOW what they are doing.

It’s a shame that most of these corporate suits in these stories have no clue what their employees do for a living. Some random guy comes in making decisions and haven’t even looked into what things are and how they function. I still like these stories, keep them coming. Listening from Illinois.

Don’t they empty the trash in that building because at one point, I believe, the time period of 21 days was referred to. Or did I imagine that?

She would have been fired I think. The production line costs money to fix and late orders etc. She was obligated to keep reporting up the hierarchy until they listened or she was fired.

Document everything, wait for the fallout… and the correction.
