(we don't use the word "bookings")

everybody here is just really really done with the amount of micromanaging going on lmao

yesterday we discovered that nobody on the Y side actually knows how the PIM works, so when we explained why we can't have a goal of 250 SKUs per day we were met with pure, unaffected shock

the process is so manual that typically a good day sees us doing about 60-70 SKUs

if you're lucky and get a big product with nothing much to fix you can get much more than 250 done

but we have to go in, change everything by hand, match everything manually, re-map SKUs by hand when we add variants

and apparently nobody on the Y side (including the person who's... supposed to be working in the PIM...) realized that the process is so analog

today in the first of our two daily meetings, we learned that three more people got added to the project on the Y side, none of whom know how to use the PIM either (and one of them has been working at Y for like a week) so now the more senior members of the team at this office have to spend time training them and fielding questions

I don't actually know when the deadline is but we're not going to hit it and nobody here cares anymore lmao

(er, up at the beginning that should have been "250 SKUs per person per day")
