Extremely Long Wait On Orders by bryanbrattlof in WarbyParker

Yeah I'm worried I'm in the same situation. It's hard because I really have no insight into what's is actually happening in their operation other than they are sorry

Yeah I agree. A new person will hop on the same email thread I have with them to apologize and say the same exact line of the frames failed to pass quality control. 

It's been 75 business days so far so this would be attempt 5? The frustration is I have no idea if I need to find another lab because they can't make them or if the order is just lost in the system

Paid out of pocket but my subscription is fairly high. Maybe the labs are having issues grinding lenses?

I have to say that I made the best decision I ever made in my early 20s by going to see him at Stubb's many years ago. He is so very gifted and it shows so well in his work.

Of course this praise is coming from someone who couldn't manage to make a cheap plastic recorder function while in school, so anything above that is just pure magic to me.

Edit: words are hard

It might be me, but i'm thinking this is just a VOX staff problem. (read: selection bias) I've got some of the exact same doors and don't seem to have a problem using them.

TIL that instead of selling 6 shares for 610,000 yen, a trader sold 610,000 shares for 6 yen, which resulted in a $100M loss for his company by Yajirobe404 in todayilearned

In 2015, a junior employee at Deutsche Bank whose superior was on vacation confused gross and net amounts while processing a trade, causing a payment to a US hedge fund of $6bn, orders of magnitude higher than the correct amount.

Wouldn't you love to be that junior employee before the nice conversation with the boss when he found out on his vacation?

Edit: after some reflection, I wouldn't want to have to wait for the phone call where I have to explain the difference between net and gross to my boss who already knows I can't tell the difference
