My day normally starts off (at work) when I walk into our building with Morning greeting to everyone you meet at 9am. Go to my cubicle and turn my PC. 
The first thing I do is checking my email and prioritizing the Emails and processing(replying or forwarding ...) them. 
Then checking my Calendar and my task. Attending the 10 minutes daily Standup meeting, in the meeting everybody working for the project talk about what was done yesterday and what barrier you have for you work, what you are going to do today. 
After that I do some automation and manual test and report the bugs I found through the bug report tool after communicating with the product support person, the project manager and the relevant developer. 
Of course I have 30 minutes lunch time every day at 12pm.
 Attending or organizing 1 hour bug fixed checking in meeting, in the meeting making decision for the bug fixing and checking in priorities. Do some more function test/ regression test via automation tool/manual, analyzing the bug I found with co-worker/test lead/developer and reporting the bug via bug managing tool. Training junior new co-worker/ sharing new knowlege/technical experiences with my team members. 
Writing down what I did today and what issues I solved today and what I'm going to do Tomorrow.
Setting up the over night running test case and let is run over night and say good night to the team and go home at 5pm. 

For the first year I worked on the Pronto product in delivery teams. I really felt like it was a bait and switch because I'd been asked Java programming questions in the interview and then when I started I was told my entire job was to come up with a big mess of XML and XSLT to implement functionality using their proprietary, badly designed tools. It was a waste of time professionally because there's really no transferrable skills you can get from it. 

I eventually told management to either transfer me to a different product or I would leave. They did, and from then on I worked on several Android and iOS applications using the normal native tools, which was much more fulfilling work. Although I really liked the people I worked with at Motorola, I ultimately left to work in a different sector for much better pay. Everyone seemed to be underpaid.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Handled front desk and large volume of package delivery and dispatch

Have been working for same company for 24.8 years. Started as a Purchasing Assistant and was promoted to Jr. Buyer, then to Buyer and in 2010 was eventually promoted to Senior Buyer. Had the opportunity to learn so much due to the job transition as well as some of the managers, who were tremendous mentors. 

The Supply Chain department was outsourced to Malaysia in 2013 and left in June 2014.

Company background:
Started with Teklogix Inc, in 1989 - was great place to work
In 2000, Teklogix was acquired by Psion PLC, thus became Psion Teklogix,

Typical day begins with the tasks, goals and expectation for the day. These information is filtered appropriately to all team members and set the tone for the day
Raw material to meet demands were reviewed
Quality issues were reviewed with suggestions to improve to be in line with the expectations
Customer interfacing/interaction
projects planning and coordinating
Dealing with any conflicts in production and among staff
Look for opportunity to develop the team 
Plan appropriate training to improve efficiency
Work with senior management to ensure that our production unit wee in line with the Corporate goals/objective

They always ask you to work hard but never reward hard work.
So most of the employees just slaking around not giving a single f* about quality and efficiency. Not enough production? - lets just hire 100% more not motivated people even they do not have space to work so we will have 20% more production.
If you are lazy, not motivated person - welcome aboard! That is your minimum wage paradise. At least if you work some overtime you will be able to pay your bills haha.

The job was not so hard for me in every day because my previous job was twice harder than it. I learned here to ship finished products to customers by using the computer. Building and wrap up new incoming finished goods into the pallets and move it to the bin by using the forklift, jack-lift. Same as picking into the bin to ship the finished goods to the costumers. I learned to inventory. the workplace was so clean, and everything are in proper arrangement. The benefits are good too.

Always a new challenge and discovering new ways to do new things. Continuous learning and development with every new assignment and managing the priorities of all projects to keep important projects running smoothly.
Setting the priority of a task is the hardest, as it means other tasks get less attention and longer times to complete.
With continuous improvement writing policy and procedure documents where essential to define your work and for others to understand your challenges.
