'Enjoy $7k in rotten shrimp': Manager ignores grocery store employee's warning about freezer temperature, whole seafood section goes bad

Never underestimate the input of your employees! If you're the kind of manager who thinks that everyone under you couldn't possibly have a better idea about the best way to handle something, then you probably shouldn't be a manager at all. Not everything has to function in terms of hierarchy. You could be working at a big corporate institution or a local grocery store, but no matter what, the best idea should always win in any work environment.

This manager learned that the hard way after he cut off his employee mid-sentence and refused to hear him out regarding the temperature of the freezer, which was set to an abnormally warm number. Of course, what ended up transpiring was that every product in the freezer leaked and thawed overnight, rendering all of these food items inedible. All of this could have been avoided if this manager got off his high horse and let the author of this story finish his sentence!

As you'll see, the manager in question made a very expensive mistake here, ultimately causing the grocery store to lose $7,000 of shrimp and shellfish products. That's the kind of loss that inevitably leads to undesirable consequences, and the manager even dared to blame everything on the author of this story. He quickly shut that down and was able to find evidence proving who was in the right. That's when the manager's future at the store crystallized—his time was coming to an end.
