I was an international sales for an electronics company. One time there was customer payment delay for which held the goods at the pending-payment zone in the factory for more than 1 month!. We were basically waiting for the payment to clear before we ship. There were two 20-ft containers worth of electronics in the corner of the outgoing area. It was such an eyesore that manufacturing head yelled at sales head during every management meeting for that month.
When the customer finally cleared the payment, CEO made the responsible sales team fill the container by hand (I was one of them). But it was an eye-opening experience. We dragged our ass from our A/C equipped office and wore our usual suits and leather shoes, oh boy were we stupid. What I remember the most was how stuffy and hot the air was nearing the innermost end of the container especially when carrying boxes. The entire team was drenched afterward except somehow the ladies managed to wiggle their way out by "hey we are just gonna get everyone an ice coffee, be right back". It was fun still.
