I think one of the biggest challenges I faced in my previous job was when we suddenly were expected to meet a large shipment quota right before the end of the year and we didn't have everything remotely ready yet. We were given one week's time to do so and it was a rush from start to finish which everything ended up as you would expect with the shipment sent out to the best of our ability with relatively few missing... missing... we didn't have the inventory boxes. The way that this was handled was me and my supervisor got together and I agreed that I could stay late and do some extra scanning and I could come in early and do some extra scanning to make sure that everything was resolved.
