I once had a supervisor who used to promote a philosophy consistently, which was, don’t expect, inspect. I think that this is a prime example of the need to always make sure that you’re inspecting the work that’s going on. Whether that be when you’re working with an ITAD vendor. Again, if you’re working with a certified credentialed vendor, you would want to believe that they are always going to do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do. But you should always be double checking, triple checking the work. But also internally as well. I remember an article that came out, I believe it was either in 2022 or 2023, and it was a school district where they discovered that there were missing assets because assets were being moved internally. So it was a school district with multiple schools with a single depot. But there was one team that was responsible for going to each one of the schools, collecting those assets, and then ultimately bringing them to a depot. What they were doing is after they were collecting them from the school on the way to the depot, they were siphoning off a certain amount of devices before dropping off to the depot.
And literally, if there was an ongoing check at the depot to make sure, Okay, I know that you guys said you picked up 500 devices from the school. We’re going to do a count before we receive it to make sure this could have been identified well before the problem blew up to what it was.
