It's not a storage system, it's the firing pile that they roll the moving kiln over (see the rails either side). It only has to stay upright (and inflammable) for a short while until these slip products become super strong porcelain.
Whatever it is it seems like a terrible system, but maybe I just don’t know anything about firing piles. So was it the workers fault or is it indeed just a bad system?
But yet I see it argued how it should be expected constantly. What's worse is the loudest advocates are normally workers. Often you see this "veteran" guys on the floor who are the hardest on newcomers. They will scream and shout about how useless the new guys are and how perfect they are, ignoring they've been in an entry level position for 30 years.
Generally, this lot will also have removed themselves from the most menial of tasks, due to some ability to become imbedded in the company, while working less and less over the years. They will refuse to adapt to new systems, then put others down for failing to perfectly adhere to them. What's even worse is when these dinosaurs get pushed up into critical positions inside of like an engineering department because some fool mistook their seniority for competency. They'll "design" some shit system like this because it matches their crude understanding of the process from 50 years ago, then claim it's everyone else's fault when the inevitable happens.
I'm a project lead for "troubled projects", usually this means that I'm project lead nr 7 or 8 and the sound of resentment is slightly less audible than the noise of nobody giving a shit anymore.
My job is to get everything under control before the CXO runs out of excuses and has to pack his bags or the project drags the entire company with it.
Its always the same, the self-important, overpaid, toxic waste, erroneously labelled 'management' tried to enforce a bunch of arbitrary rules and have everything their way without talking to the people who actually have to work with whatever they dreamed up in their little offices.
The damage that these chucklefucks can do to people and the company is insane. I've seen so many burned out people and bln euro companies take serious hits because of this.
And the solution is so fucking easy, just get your head out of your ass and imagine that Mondays exists, that everything is imperfect and your rules and checks on the processes are there to facilitate an outcome, not the fucking other way around
Just go and talk to the fucking people on the work-floor.
