Reply To: Things That Stick In Your Craw

I’ve spent 20 minutes this morning, and four emails, trying to convince our logistics department that the United Arab Emirates is in the Middle East (as defined by our logistics).

Them: That part can only be shipped to EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa)

Me: I know, I’m trying to ship it to the UAE

Them: But you can’t ship it to the Americas

Me: I know, I’m trying to ship it to the UAE

I had a similar experienced a couple years ago. We used to have most all of our returned goods sent to Decatur. A business I support is an exception due to FDA requirements so returned material needs to be sent back to our manufacturing location in CA. Someone coordinating a return slipped up and had material returned to the Decatur location. Our quality manager sent me (and copied the world) a scathing email demanding to know why I had material sent to France. My big dilemma was do I call him out publicly or privately. I went for the latter….which paid off in the long run.

You’re a FAR better man than I… :lol:
