Kind of insulting to the people who have orders that are pushing close to a year or possibly longer…… maybe focus on getting those done first…..

CBCS email. They've done this every year at the expo since they moved to Texas.

We are doing the majority of our on-site grading on Saturday and Sunday as to not take away from us getting through our current log of orders.

[sarcasm] What!?! You mean everyone isn't working nonstop around the clock already to alleviate the backlog?

I feel both disadvantaged and insulted. [/sarcasm]

I'm confused @DrWatson, is your sarcasm rooted in the fact you have zero books in the CBCS grading queue?

Oh, I see. The crew will work on the weekend to take in new money. Thinking they will to fill money orders paid 10 and 12 months ago is asinine.

Exactly!! How anyone could think this is even remotely ok is beyond me. What a sleazy way to conduct business.

So true!!! Because ofcourse Graders should have no time off whatsoever and obviously the Graders at this con represent all of CBCS's Graders.

How dare CBCS try and compete and be out there hocking their product.

Let's not twist my thoughts/ words. I don't think anyone should have to or want to work the weekend. I'm calling it apples to apples.

How many weekends has Borock said he was working? TONS!!! Do you honestly think he was the only one?

I also find it difficult to believe this happens "every year". Two of the last years have been plagued by something we can't talk about like pressing or pot. Pandemic, Pressing, Pot. The triple P's.

I would think that yes. Words alone the line of "it's the only time I can get things done", were mentioned.

Your right. There was no on-site grading for Texas Expo 2020 ... because there was no Texas Expo 2020. Good job on catching that.

All I know is that any production line type job I've ever held, had mandatory overtime, including weekends, when they were behind. Plus, I do know of at least three other CBCS employees that have worked multiple weekends.

I'm not trying to piss you guys off as I respect all of you. Tonight it appears as I disagree. It is what it is.

I work in production and have dealt with all these things, that aids in my disgruntledness.

LOL!! I wouldn't lock a thread just because someone was expressing a viewpoint that I didn't agree with. Everyone has been civil. It's all good.

The thing is, if a company sold someone a service, at some point you have to perform the service in a timeframe that has some realistic relationship to the anticipated timeframe. You can't just choose to keep pushing it back while pursuing more valuable business. A year ago I could defend this because it was new and unexpected and we needed to give CBCS the benefit of the doubt and time to sort it out. But here we are in June 2022 with CBCS still holding books that are are 3x-4x the TAT's that submitters were told to expect at the time. That simply has to get cleaned up. There's no more rationalizing that can be done on the subject.

No worries. Reading it all now, I got a bit snarky there myself. 😁
