    So I no longer work there but I worked 10+ years as Ops manager in international removals. Once a year we would do a stocktake on all the inbound freight locations, pull aside anything that was out of place and then try and find an owner, most of the items were returned to their owners. But every year there would also be a few items without any identification, I would set these aside myself in the warehouse and then the following year if still unclaimed I would take them home or throw it in the bin.

    The best items are 3 x 1.5L bottles of Penfolds Grange & 50g bar of gold.

    But other than that there are so many items, a limited edition Beatles Sargent Pepper’s marble pressing with all the inserts intact. Few antique gold mirrors. Artwork. Media centre PC. Dining table and chairs. 2 Herman Miller office chairs, that’s just the stuff I remember while looking around my house now

    I’ve been out of management for a while thank god but I did 11+ years as ops manager and every month we’d have a meeting to go over p&l reports which was full of budgets the owners set without any input, there was one item let just call wrap that we would use 300-700 rolls per month depending on how busy we were, they also wanted me to order minimum 1000 rolls at a time to hit discount break point. So this cost would only be on the report every 2 months right… easy to understand yet every fucking 2 months they’d be like went over budget by almost 100%… I’m like yeah, how much did we spend last month… oh fuck me it was zero, funny that. So after that they wanted one branch to do a single order each month for all 3 state branches, I’m like you’re gonna spend more on freight for no actual saving and they’re like don’t worry it’s in the budget… wtf.

    And that was just one line on the p&l out of hundreds, it was the same shit over and over again. Fucking labour costs in a 5 week pay cycle month was great too, like they just split the total labour budget by 12, allocated that to each month and called it a day… and just kept doing it every fucking year and then 2 months every year they’d be scratching their head trying to workout why it’s 15-20% over budget

    I’ve taken 3 pay cuts so far. Had 3 pay increases since covid forced wfh and each time it’s been less than inflation. I haven’t pushed for more because I’ve been left alone and am one of the last employees here still 100% wfh.

    I’m on salary, I already had somewhat flexible hours when I was in the office, had to start at a specific time but could leave when the bulk of my work was done and then would log on from from at the end of the day and tidy up anything that came in after I left. It wasn’t uncommon for me to only be in the office for 3-4 hours on a typical day and my commute was 45mins to an hour, so time wise I now I spend ~50% less time at work.
