NO RAISE FOR YOU...



okay mad stressful day. The morning was as usual and a few minutes before lunch at 11:15AM, i received a call and an email from our storage facility manager.
It read, "Tony, we had a small incident with some of the equipment being shipped to you. ..As the pallets were being transported for loading onto the trailer, we damaged two components. I have enclosed photos of the damage. The crate is being put back together. We can have the components sent to you, tomorrow morning. Please advise how you would like to proceed with this."
I flipped out! Just weeks before the Major turbine outage, as we were pulling parts off the shelves to deliver to the station, two parts got damaged!! replacement parts have long lead times and cost six figures.. no joke. I called a few vendors and we are CRAZY fortunate that they can repair it in a few days. see the photos.
the daym crate exploded once it made contact with the floor-- 10 feet from the forklift picks damaging its contents.
I think the plant managers would have REALLY flipped out but after seeing how insane I was-- they found it rather humorous!
