> What? Surely, everyone is thinking of this? Amazon probably has enough trade to commission an entire ship unlike most companies who are using containers, and why they can divert to other ports which is whats being reported here. TLDR they have the size to be flexible in logistics. Sometimes you need to get someone with enough general knowledge to act as a troubleshooter though, like this chap. https://youtu.be/OBu5ewmEP2E?t=27 https://youtu.be/OBu5ewmEP2E?t=27 Stagnation occurs everywhere, people get comfortable which is why some on here big up those with Military experience because the military will get you out of your comfort zone. Unions often but not always drive stagnation, rarely do they come up with innovation because some of the bigger unions work across a variety of different companies or organisations and just work on pay and conditions which is sometimes harmful to a business during its life. Unions can have their place against bad bosses, but a union which could work well is one that is operating in just a business or organisation and isn't solely focussed on pay and conditions, they should drive innovation and efficiency or work with innovation & efficiency because there are times management and boards can stagnate and then businesses organisation can decline. Covid has certainly exposed the lack of stock holding in the Just In Time (JIT) system of doing business. Dell is another business to look at when he was starting up in the early years, he used his contracts to shift stock holding onto the suppliers to keep "inventory" at the right levels for accountancy purposes so suppliers had trucks loaded with goods waiting in goods in to unload. He also recycled returns which he got into court trouble with, ie flogging components from returns in new pc's. Quite often you will find businesses bending rules somewhere though and it could be anywhere, contracts and accountancy practices can be common but not the only way to get the books looking good.
