My old boss told me to stop tracking every supply order in a notebook and I fought him on it for 6 months
Back in 2021 I was running ops for a small cabinet shop in Boise and I kept a paper log for every hardware order because I swore the software was too slow. My boss Dana kept pushing me to move it into a shared sheet and I dug in for 6 months, mostly because I didn't want to admit she was right. Then we missed a $1,400 hinge order in August and the install crew sat idle for 2 days. I finally switched and the sheet took me 20 minutes to set up, and we caught 3 duplicate orders in the first month. What's the thing you held onto way too long just because you didn't want to hear it from someone above you?
