The subtle details of his body language (or complete lack thereof) are what sells him as a human autonomoton. It would take a very talented motion capture actor to properly match that.

A corner of lawexplainer/lolwyer twitter is apparently representing a number of fired twitter employees as a part of their day jobs. Starting off with a public threat/demand shitpost that's clearly targeted at everyone except twitter: https://twitter.com/AkivaMCohen/status/1598487532764798983

That made me wince. The employees who got shafted on their severance deserve to be fairly treated, but this is some incredibly unprofessional legal writing, to say nothing of posting it publicly on the internet at all, let alone on Twitter itself. Judges and arbitrators don’t look kindly on that kind of stunt, and your priority as a lawyer should be representing your clients in a way that is most likely to succeed, and giving a bunch of internet strangers who already agree with you their daily lols is not the best way to accomplish that.

That is a PR statement meant to he read by regular people who won't understand real legalese, including Musk who is not exactly bright and communicates primarily by meme. I would wager the actual legal filings are being done using appropriate language. I don't think there is any risk of pissing off Judges and arbitrators since Musk literally tweeted out that he planned on breaking the law/contracts.

One thing tech has done to really bother me at work is making to it to where at least half my day is moving work through spreadsheets, editing job orders, making notes and messaging and emailing people all the time. All of this stuff is supposed to streamline the process but, over the last decade or so, it's become total overkill and seem inefficient. I'll spend maybe half my time doing the actual real work and the rest documenting it or trying to clean out my inbox and messages.

I mean I think this depends a lot on management and the type of work you're doing. Like I know there's some projects I've worked on that are like that, but others have been simple simple with just maybe a few emails and maybe a call through a normal day, and all work being done on documents in a share drive whole team had access too.

People who can't "do" but need to justify why they are there/involved/getting paid seem to primarily produce time wasting processes. This is a failure of executive leadership that can only be corrected with their full support. It almost never happens, because said executive would have to admit they weren't running their business properly to begin with. So the best you can hope for is changing it during a reorg/new executive leadership. And it requires getting rid of the dead weight.

Ironically, the issue in tech is that it is never documented enough, while the issue everywhere else is that you end up with both paper and digital documentation and then have to make another document to consolidate the two. Basically, tech is the only area where there isn't enough documentation, largely because the whole field is making it up as they go along, whereas BiggerBoat has all the processes since the invention of the Gutenberg press to go through

Consider that some of those "make work" or "inefficient" processes you're doing are likely things that used to be someone else's job, and various types of automation have simplified the process enough that it doesn't need people dedicated to that task anymore. My company pissed off a lot of the old guard last year when they switched the travel approval and reimbursement process over to a self-serve web portal, rather than having folks email someone in accounting with their travel details and receipts. The new system actually does streamline the process, and does a lot of the mileage and per diem calculations that someone used to do manually. It saves the accounting team a bunch of time at the expense of travelers needing to do a tiny bit of extra work for each request. When we used to have the automation thread, this was one of the things that I felt folks often overlooked in favor of a strict "can a robot do all aspects of my job, yes or no?" interpretation. Software and other systems are shrinking the amount of work required for a bunch of different processes, and it results in job responsibilities getting broader and leaves you with the tasks that computers aren't good at.

Yeah if I was still in the workforce I would gladly take electronic help from automation. Hell even a simple spell check saved me hours at one of my previous jobs. Give us the jobs that robots can't do and leave the rest for humans. Hell, give us the jobs it's too expensive for robots to do while you're at it, somebody has to make the fries and flip the burgers.

Elon seems to be making sure to drive away every single person who was foolish enough to not take the severance. Two weeks of PTO is now "unacceptable" for a major tech company and everyone will be expected to work through the holidays. Don't worry, there will be some breaks allowed during Christmas day and New Year's Eve! https://twitter.com/ZoeSchiffer/status/1598766600685228032

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Elon seems to be making sure to drive away every single person who was foolish enough to not take the severance. I don't understand the appeal of suddenly working startup hours for a previously relatively stable public company. In any other situation that is a massive red flag. Musk likes to boast about how he is always the liaison between multiple teams trying to bridge communication and simplify process/design in an effort to make products cheaper or better. In interviews is says stuff like, "I ask this team why this feature exists and they said that some other team needs it. So I asked the other team and they said they stopped using it 1 year ago. So we stopped adding it and I saved the company a bunch of money!" Milestones in software are generally very abstract so it's funny to imagine how ridiculous or counter intuitive some of those discussions are.

Wonder whats going to happen to Twitter staff in countries (Ireland is one I'm aware of) where their staff are legally entitled to one uninterrupted two week holiday a year (and four more weeks of holidays on top of that) with that. Gonna be some fun court cases. Their global VP of Public Policy whos employed in Dublin already sued and got herself reinstated because her dismissal for not signing Elon's pledge email wasn't acceptable to the court: https://www.rte.ie/news/courts/2022/1130/1339217-twitter-executive/

In my particular case I was working in a franchise sign making shop so make of that what you will. It was overkill. Motronic posted:People who can't "do" but need to justify why they are there/involved/getting paid seem to primarily produce time wasting processes. This is a failure of executive leadership that can only be corrected with their full support. This happens now in my current job dealing cards in a poker room. My supervisors and their supervisors have everything supposedly streamlined with a huge network of communication that ostensibly simplifies things but it really doesn't. Near as I can tell, my immediate supervisors spend WELL over half their times on tablets and phones, often ignoring betting action and issues on tables, and we have an employee WhatsApp thing we're supposed to use where well over half of those posts are people being "funny" and junking it up with bullshit. The latter is supposed to be for us to post poo poo like if we're running late, need a ride, are sick and can't come in or want someone to switch hours with us and poo poo like that. But I've basically just come around to ignoring it because every morning when i look at it there's 85 new messages that have nothing to with our work and more than a few memes, IMPACT FONT and all, or single emoji shitposts. It's like a comments section only with employees. Further, when we work a table ( my job is to read hands, count chips and ensure that bets are paid out correctly and no one cheats or fucks up), we log in under our names and PIN, count the rake every hand and make notes on it noting how much people bought in for, won or lost but NONE of that poo poo goes into ANY central data base and if we have a "dead spread", the tablet will go to sleep and the notes get lost. So my supervisor will ask me how much a player won/lost and I can't tell them because the tablet erased my notes. It's pointless. But everyone I work with knows when I'm gonna be 10 minutes late E I'm not saying this stuff can't be incredibly useful is done right but, like most things related to the internet, we have to separate the white noise from the information that's actually useful (like in my example up there where someone on my way in to work needs a lift) but I can't daily sift through 75 messages to get to that. Think spam or a Reddit thread. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Dec 3, 2022 |
