I work for an international company that locally clears 20-35 million year with 20 employees. They asked me to help them move hundreds of thousands of dollars in inventory in the warehouse while we switch buildings. I said, "That ain't me, dude."

Is hundreds of thousands of dollars of inventory a lot of inventory?
Depending on the nature of the inventory it could be anything between one machine to a full warehouse. I feel we'd appreciate your comment better if we knew that, and what your normal role in the company is.

It's heavy and a few days worth of work.

Irrespective of the amount of inventory, it's something you may damage while moving, making it your problem, when it's not even your job

Did it have a positive impact? Just curious.

No one cared. It's terribly mismanaged.
