my experience in professional services firms is that the actual work is going to be done by grads straight out of uni, and the only thing a partner is going to do is some quality control on the report they give you at the end to make sure there isn’t anything in there that will get them sued.

That and a shitload of unnecessary customer handholding, because if you're approaching the big 4, you're the opposite of both dynamic and effective. At one point, we had a partner from one of the Big 4 basically gatekeeping the CIOs diary, because her inability to keep to her schedule and actually attend stakeholder meetings was causing massive structural delays in the delivery of half of the project. Oh and also holding her hand so she didn't abuse the consultants to the point of major grievances (somewhat effectively). I'm sure there's a hell of a lot of stroking of egos at that level in general.

They come in, say what you've been saying for years, walk away with a few million dollars, and then your boss ignores it anyway. You forget that they also put it in a really slickly presented paper, with graphs and infographics. Senior execs do be loving charts. The secret to promotion in the public sector is basic competence with visio.

Our Uni paid through the nose for a consultant and their main tip was 'sack this manager here'. They moved the manager sideways on the same pay and sacked four workers.

Did I miss something or have the Liberal party not bothered to field a candidate in the Perth by-election https://www.aec.gov.au/perth/? Everyone else seems to be taking it seriously, Labor sent postal-vote application mailers last week and today I got fliers from both Labor and Greens backing Patrick Gorman and Caroline Perks respectively. Edit: you'd think with a federal election looming the Libs would take the opportunity to run-in their campaign or something?

They are saving money for the federal election and not bothering with fielding a candidate in a traditionally red seat with a big swing against predicted. Lib donors are pretty tapped out with all the demand suppression they have been gifted by the LNP

Everyone else seems to be taking it seriously, Labor sent postal-vote application mailers last week and today I got fliers from both Labor and Greens backing Patrick Gorman and Caroline Perks respectively. Yeah, there's no Liberal candidate in Perth. I've been doorknocking the past few weeks reminding people a.) There is an election b.) There is no Liberal candidate and c.) You could really throw a spanner in the works for the mainstream parties that mostly ignore Perth - except when it's politically expedient - by voting Green. You'd be surprised how many self-described Liberal voters are saying they're voting greens to stick it to Labor. Just goes to show how much attention the average LNP voter pays to politics, I guess. Also I found out just this week that the polling booth I hand out HTV's at every election apparently has one of the lowest % of Green votes in the Perth electorate. It might explain why I got told to gently caress off by an octogenarian last election. But yeah, Caroline Perks is really cool, she has a science background and it'd be awesome if more people who aren't career politicians or from the traditional "labour union to Labor party" pipeline represented us. Edit: Also she's super approachable, if you have a question about her position on some random thing just send a message to her public Facebook profile or via the contact details on the leaflet. They're pretty good about getting back to people about that sort of stuff. Extra edit: Gorman seems like an okay Labor candidate, but his campaign from what I've seen is kinda bland. He's parroting traditional Labor slogans ("no cuts to the ABC") and sticking to the party line, I haven't really seen him substantially engage in issues Perth people care about (e.g. the GST carve-up) and he really does look like someone Google image searched for a politician and 3D printed him for the Perth by-election. froglet fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Jul 13, 2018 |

Is it safe to say that Perks/Gorman will be drumming up party polcies related to the impending federal election? Edit: also thanks froglet that's good insight.

Seems that way with the stuff we get out of KPMG and Deloitte. Draft feedback: this has very obviously been written by at least 5 people who did not collaborate, and makes a recommendation that we reverse the last four years of policy. not happening.

Local Labor candidate for VIC state election was at the shops this morning handing out brochures. I, of course, told her to gently caress right off and that I’d never vote Labor after what the previous Labor member did. I then lectured her for 15 minutes about how The African Gang Problem was ruining Melbourne and how I’m afraid to go outside in the evenings. Nah, I actually just smiled and politely said “no thanks” and kept walking.

JBP posted:Why do they always bang on about being ashamed of being white? No one has told you to be ashamed??? Because they can't separate having done bad things from being "bad" as a person. If you tell them that white people have done terrible things and we need to make them right they can't hear that as "We need to acknowledge our failures and work to correct them" but only as "You should be ashamed of being white". That's why they take it so personally, because they live in a black and white world where bad people do bad things, and if they've done bad things they must be a bad person, but they're a good person, so they can't have done bad things, therefore someone is trying to trick them.

Four Corners was worth the watch today. The last quarter of the show was spent on a "raw milk cheese" manufacturer. Best scene was inside their processing floor with those huge stainless steel vats with big slow stirrers. They showed the reporter in full cleansuit. Big white coveralls, big white paper hat, gloves. Then the camera panned to the workers. T-shits and jeans. No hair nets. Reaching into the vats all the way to their shoulder and pulling out cheese chunks while wearing no gloves. Gonna be a good crop of dead kids again this year. Megillah Gorilla fucked around with this message at 05:45 on Jul 14, 2018 |

My favourite so far has been the people selling "bath milk" in 2L milk containers and if you truly wanted to replicate the "Eastern European Mad Queen" vibe you'd have to spend like $5000 to fill up your bath with unpasteurized milk. Stuff was clearly for idiot hippies to poison their children with.
