New Product - Any Buyers?
We finally figured out a way to mass produce the custom Lucite pieces we’ve been experimenting with at work. We’ve even typed up a policy pertaining to the constraints of material, designs and sizes we can work with (and can’t work with) so that management can take a look at it and see if our product is worth marketing. So far, a lot of people in the office are already asking for something to be made for them - whether it be Lucite pieces that are cut-to-shape and show their own children or their favorite movie character. Obviously, we can’t market the faces of celebrities to actual customers (meaning people outside the office) for fear of copyright infringement, but any other picture or portrait brought in by the customer can be engraved onto a piece of painted Lucite.
So far, the General Manager loves the idea - especially now that we have a paper that shows sizes, constraints, prices for materials, etc. Our only fear is that our department manager will feel threatened (and more angrier than normal) and might disapprove of our product simply because one, she wasn’t here when we were experimenting with our ideas, and two, she didn’t think of it first. But because we allowed the General Manager to see our samples first, she may not have a say in the matter.
That leaves the ultimate approval to Mr. Levy, the owner. If we can manage to impress his finicky tastes and prove to him that there will be quite a market for this product, we’ll make it BIG TIME. So it’s a bit nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time, lol.
It’s a bit frustrating to have her poking around here now in the Laser Department though. Her official job title is “Department Manager,” meaning that she supervises both the laser department and graphics department. The SAD thing is - she really does setups for silk screen t-shirts (which is totally different than what people do in graphics)…so if ANYTHING, she should be silk screen manager. The ONLY time she does anything in Graphics is if they get really busy. And she doesn’t help out Laser department at all - so why bother having her poke around back here when she doesn’t know anything about what goes on back here?! They need to have a department manager for each different department. Let Val BE the actual manager of Laser like she’s supposed to be, and Angie be head of Graphics if she wants a damn title so bad. I understand office hierarchies, but this is a bit ridiculous…
I made a keychain of Takeshi Kanehiro as our first keychain experimentation. It came out fairly well - the only thing is, we might have to look into using different types of keychain extensions because the machine that hooks it onto the Lucite piece doesn’t work well with both the materials. We plan on looking into it if management decides to go through with our idea.
That’s mainly the big thing going on in my life…I’m getting a bit nervous as my 90-day training period comes to an end on August 2nd…my only hope is that the so-called “Department Manager” won’t try to get me fired because she views me as a threat…
So that’s it then I guess. Until next time, mata ne!
