I used to work in logistics for a fashion brand. A few months ago, we had a large order of handbags going out to one of our retail store. I noticed the delivery label said Store #214, but the attached invoice was for Store #241. Big difference one's a smaller suburban location, the other was prepping for a product launch.
I flagged it to our ops manager. He cut me off with:
"It's not your job to question the packing list. Just process the paperwork."
So I did exactly that. The shipment went to the wrong store.
We didn't find out until regional called in a panic, asking why the launch store didn't get their delivery. We lost time, had to pay for some-day freight to fix it and the flagship missed day one of the promo.
My manager never said a word about it. But a month later, I was asked to review all store shipment labels before they go out officially added to my role.
Guess it was my job after all.
