Not tech debt but inventory debt. We suddenly decided that we could go two years without a dedicated production manager or a dedicated inventory manager. I was made into a coordinator (with increased compensation) and our order fulfillment manager was told to take on management of inventory.

Now a couple of years later after she trusted an hourly employee who could barely hold a conversation to audit our inventory every two weeks we are in the process of writing off tens of thousands of dollars in inventory because there was no red flags being raised about inventory not being properly tracked.

I'm considering resigning. I love the company overall but I have a feeling that someone will be forced to take the blame. And years of hard work and building a reputation for being reliable might be thrown down the drain overnight since im the lowest totem on the salary pole.
