Infidel Castro posted:Kirk probably didn't have a clue how half the poo poo worked. He's more interested in fightin' and fuckin'. Speaking as a former Navy guy, the approach really depends on the background of the CO. All of them know down to the third decimal place the time estimates for their area of expertise but can generally be fudged on other topics. Don't try to bullshit an engineering CO on engineering poo poo but the OPS guys can probably pad out their numbers.

There's an entire terrible Voyager episode where Kes almost dies because of some weird alien anomaly thing and Janeway has to take things on faith to solve the problem instead of relying on science. It's a really boring and bad episode.

Thinking about the episode of Voyager with the big psychic pitcher plant, and how Naomi was the only one besides seven who didnt get affected, and its explained that it's because she doesnt give a fat gay gently caress about Earth. When you're born into a situation where everyone but you and the dipshit bridge ensign straight up died, and you replaced your own dead self on a clone of the ship, its gotta be real tough to have a normal upbringing

CainFortea posted:I never saw Geordi as a dick there. Scotty was being kind of lovely at everyone because he was feeling useless. Which is understandable, but Geordi told him straight up that lying to the captain isn't something he is going to do. Scotty's absolutely right though, and anyone who's done any kind of project work ever will tell you likewise. If you do it in an hour this time, they'll expect an hour every time. You tell them 2-4 hours, they'll always expect 2-4 hours.

I know it's from a movie not that ep, but Scotty's "Ah. Hello, computer." is the funniest thing in any stat trek imo.

Always give buffer time because you don't know when someone's going to start expecting that timeframe consistently. Your time is valuable, and there's zero reason you should have to rush something arbitrarily.

buffer time isn't necessary when you have a sane boss who is actually capable of communication, respect and understanding the concept of linear time. so, geordi was fine with simply giving accurate estimates on tng. it often doesn't work so well in real life. or, i suppose, on the cerritos, because that captain is an idiot and not in a comically exaggerated way.

You know, it occured to me that TNG didn't even need a mirror universe episode because like half the cast ended up with evil twins anyways. I'd like to see an episode where Lore, Thomas Riker, Sela, and Shinzon team up and try to find and/or produce evil replicas of the rest of the Enterprise senior staff to complete their dream team of diabolical doppelgangers.

Yep, when I had a good boss, who I would just give what I thought it would take and what I thought it would take if the task turned out to be an unexpected problematic one. She'd plan things as if the 1st may happen but the 2nd was still extremely possible. Projects ran pretty smoothly under her. Needing to lie about buffer time means a bad boss who doesn't really understand what the difference in amount of time a similar task can be depending on if issues crop up or not. A good boss know how to plan for/be flexible/work around that sort of stuff so you can just talk to them properly about it.

Applewhite posted:Unfortunately 98%of bosses are bad bosses This is true. Some industries I'd put it at pretty much 100%. Edit: Some types of not-for-profits/community orgs actually have quite a few good boss, but there is still quite a few incredibly bad/lovely ones out there. Particularly in the larger more corporate ones, but smaller ones are certainly not immune. dr_rat fucked around with this message at 12:46 on Aug 10, 2021 |

I was talking more about customers. I take great care in explaining our delivery windows for example, and correct them every time they say something that sounds like they're assuming a different thing than I suggested. Usually works out better to set proper expectations than to let them assume something incorrect.

Usually works out better to set proper expectations than to let them assume something incorrect. Your problem is you've clearly only ever dealt with people who can function as responsible adults and respect you, not customers or a manager who want updates/results NOWNOWNOW like a stubborn toddler. Buffer time isn't about "assuming something incorrect", it's about knowing something can/will run long or go wrong, and having a little extra time to let it get sorted without needing to concern anyone outside of the problem. As far as the customer ever knows, the job/problem/outage got resolved on time, or even earlier than expected, so well done you and they don't need to know about the job actually running long beyond their accurate estimate onsite.
