He got sick of doing things slow and stupid so he set up an excel sheet he can use to keep track of what's being used and what needs ordering so he could hand that up to the person who'd been doing the ordering.... and when the lead manager saw that, they apparently said "Ok, look, I can't do this any more. You're in charge of ordering and we'll get someone to help with moving things if we need to." and to do money-related stuff you have to be a manager sooooo.....
