How much does a powerboat racing team cost? I imagine you need to budget a few million for the deaths, but the boats can't be that much. Those often involve nice weekends in pleasant locations.

You could sportswash your brand by sponsoring a competition. The Rugby League world cup could do with a few tens of millions to balance their books, put your name on that trophy.

Takes No Damage posted:What's up, absolute fraud tech support senior I feel like I'm basically retired. I will ride this gravy train until it goes off the tracks, which it probably never will considering my job is legitimately just "computers". I look at people who win the lottery and think "I basically already won the lottery". In some ways I think my boss and supervisor are all aware of what is going on, but they're complicit in a sense too. As long as all the work gets done and the emails are replied to, they couldn't care less. My boss frequently dips out from work early and on Thursday will just be like "hey I'm going to be out of the office tomorrow because we're headed off to go camping and golfing at [Local Resort]". Sometimes I am driving around on my work hours and I'll see my supervisor riding his bike with his dog to a local cafe in shorts and sunglasses. I mean we do our jobs, but we also aren't going to let it dominate our lives. Sometimes after a long, arduous day of gaming and YouTube, I will take a nap at 1PM. or hell, even noon, until my alarm goes off at 4:30PM and I go on my phone and hit "clock out". It's rough, I tell you hwat Bobby. I feel like I'm gloating now but it took years for me to engineer my life to be this way. This was the plan since I was 13 years old. edit: I just realized today is my payday. I completely forgot about it. That's how carefree my life is these days. Nice.

I am sure a number of us could offer various consulting projects that could easily add up to $40 million. Hell if it would make you boss happy we could get those project to go over budget by an easily $30 million.

Chewbecca posted:Question for all: how many hours of actual work do you do as part of one full working day (or shift)? Not enough to keep busy, but too much to do anything else. When I'm in the office easily 6 or 7 out of the 8 hours; at home, maybe... 2 tops, but I have to fake being present and productive better than a mouse wiggler can do (since it doesn't, yknow, result in any changes to what I'm working on) so it's more "1 minute on, 3 minutes off, repeat" than "2 hours on, gently caress off for 6 hours" like I'd greatly prefer. We've already seen what happens when I complete my backlog - more work gets thrown on me including training with people who have no idea how to train someone and can't explain simple processes. That wouldn't be an issue if they hadn't chosen to let our backup (who was already trained and better at explaining) go, not to replace the person who gave me 80% of my work, pushed the 80% onto the two people who give the other 20% and are notoriously unreliable... and generally just cut out the entire work flow ahead of me and tried to stitch it together unsuccessfully. Application process still sucks rear end and still not hearing a word back from anyone.

Chewbecca posted:Question for all: how many hours of actual work do you do as part of one full working day (or shift)? It depends. Previous position, sometimes it was more than 8, sometimes it was 2, but most of the time it was 4-5. Most of the job was putting out fires, to the point where my manager took me out of the janky productivity monitoring system when I covered for his paternity leave then just never bothered putting me back in. So I would have days that consisted of answering IM's and emails, puttering on pet projects, and not much else. New position will force me to deal with the janky productivity monitoring system again eventually. It's a "hurry up and wait" kind of job, so I have a feeling it'll have crazy busy days and super dead ones. To keep numbers up, tons of people give weird trainings that everyone randomly shuffles into if they're not busy. Don't worry if you miss one, someone will have one on the same thing 3 days from now! This allows you to reduce core time and utilization, keeping your numbers up. And since you're probably on mute with your camera off, might as well go get coffee.

If a compan has $40m to blow and has absolutely no idea how to spend it, and has even one employee, and still doesn't know how to spend $40m, the company is dumb as gently caress. Give all your employees a bonus for generating so much excess revenue. jfc

Depending on the taxes and exact spending, giving money to employees can be more expensive than buying assets or expenses. Corporate taxes can be weird.

satanic splash-back posted:Depending on the taxes and exact spending, giving money to employees can be more expensive than buying assets or expenses. Corporate taxes can be weird. It sounds like they need to get rid of this money faster though, so giving it to employees would more rapidly meet the business goal of blowing $40 million. This would cause most of them to comfortably retire, which would significantly reduce future productivity and thus remove these excess profits from expected future problems.

Boss wanted me to compare two components and write a report. Since we don't actually have any on hand, what he actually meant was compare two datasheets and write a report. Parts are identical or similar enough in every dimension to make them physically interchangeable, functionally appear very similar but proposed part uses test parameters that give inflated results, cycle life of proposed part is 50% to 75% of our current part. Conclusion: we need to actually test to see if the proposed part will be an adequate replacement in our application. Boss: Great, they're identical! We'll start using the proposed part.

"Ravus, we want you'd to sit in on product design meeting and follow a product from design to shelves so you can find redundancies and loss generating events to save us money. We need to stop the bleeding and figure out why revenues are up but profits aren't." Perhaps spending 40k for youk your husband, and 3 teenage children to go to Maine for a week has a greater impact on our budget than the paper costing .09 vs .1 cents? 10k of that spend was UPS shipping their luggage to maine and back. Multiple suitcases for a one week trip. Oh, and we had to pay a weeks rent for storage for the owners Cesna since he flew himself up there.

Frame it right, and you'll be "giving back to the community", too.

Konar posted:I hate this question Ding, ding, ding! At this job, I'm being paid for my time and labor. If everything's currently done in the system and quotas are met, then the rest is just being available if needed for anything. When I'm off the clock, I stop checking work notifications or thinking about work because I'm literally not being paid to give a gently caress. That's how it's supposed to work. That being said, it is a nice job, good office environment, nice boss/coworkers, etc but the above is the only rational approach to take should you ever find yourself in a toxic or otherwise less-than-ideal work environment where the boss or others try to manipulate you into doing anything extra.
