An unwillingness to admit that production strategies need to be vastly changed until it is too late has undone many manufacturing facilities. However for consumer goods, so often I see people sacrificing long term gains for short term benefit. If I pay $100 for a pair of boots that last 10 years, that's cheaper than $30 boots that only last two years (10 year expenditure of $150).Dexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238751458587219022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8561388898364757356.post-45186071580763717122014-10-08T15:36:28.045-04:002014-10-08T15:36:28.045-04:00The lack of manufacturing saddens me.

I know we can't go backwards, but there should be room for creativity and making of things.<br /><br />We did the flu shots at the pharmacy last week too.

What the LA Times saved in salary and benefits, they lost in the trust and loyalty of their customers. To my credit, I spoke against the move, but no one listened. Yes, newspapers were on the decline in any case, but keeping customer service and PR close-by would have made a huge difference. When readers found out they were talking to folks out of state, then overseas, they no longer felt the LA Times was their hometown paper or had their interests in mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8561388898364757356.post-12974348198785332502014-10-04T21:56:56.489-04:002014-10-04T21:56:56.489-04:00This was one of the things that bothered me so muc...This was one of the things that bothered me so much while I was teaching.
