"I have been able to present cost-cutting suggestions many times to my previous employer. The one that I feel had the biggest impact was when I suggested additional warehouse staff. We had three various shifts and still an average of 100 hours of overtime per week. I told my employer to hire one more warehouse employee for each shift, keeping the hours to just 120 regular vs. 100 hours of overtime pay (1.5x). This recommendation saved the company 31,000 per year. They implemented this change across 15 warehouses the following year, amounting to nearly half a million dollars in savings per year."
