Frustration at work is a terrible thing

Frustration caused by the lack of proper training, the lack of materials and equipment and the lack of stock. Lack of stock! In a company with more than 300 branches nationwide - plus others worldwide! What's going wrong? Is it inept management or just bad planning - or does one stem from the other? Take, for example, our 10% weekend (or four days). I was asked to change my day off so that I could be available to work on Saturday for our 10% Weekend. The offer started today (Thursday) and the total lack of sensible advertising meant that customer numbers seemed to be no different to normal Thursdays. It's only worthwhile running these inducements to shop if you tell the people about them!!! Nuff said. I'm tired and dejected. I'm going to bed.
