    I know exactly what those emails are because I have to deal with them asking me if a wagon that I’m looking at has arrived yet.

    So I email them back telling them that it’s arrived (they knew that already because goods-in already updated the checking in sheet) and they get to validate their job somehow by asking me, shit.

    It’s quite amazing how they keep their jobs.

      So you can dismiss someone’s job because you, a person whose job it is to look at wagons, got an email you didn’t see the point of?

      If they have the sheet, why do they need you to work there and look at the wagon at all?

      Now, I know your job definitely has more to it than looking at wagons and confirming their existence.
      My point is that the person who sent the email does too. It’s rare for a job to actually have no point and no work associated with it.

        Well, maybe your workplace wouldn’t put up with these people but I can confirm that besides them not being able to use SAP to check the quantity of a BOM, to like I said - they have access to the other functions / data but prefer to delegate them to others.

        So it ends up going down a hierarchy until someone else does what these managers could do themselves in the first instance.

          And they spend all their time forwarding these queries to people lower down the hierarchy and that’s all they do, eh?

          You should probably get a new job if your company has that much dead weight and no direction.
