THC posted:Oh, I see, it's the workers' fault that the company rewards unethical practices when it's not ignoring them When the worker is literally stealing from people, they bear some responsibility, yes. Pushing protection plans aggressively is one thing, knowingly adding fake charges to bills is a very different thing. Nothing in your story speaks to the evil company being ok with this behaviour. This is people doing lovely things because apparently nobody had the guts to say anything about it.

THC posted:you apparently did not read the recent spate of news stories describing these practices as being both widespread and encouraged by managers Yeah I must have. In your story the bosses clearly didn't tell them to do it, though, because you said they swept it under the rug when they found out. More likely there are bad incentivization structures and a lot of people who look the other way, so employees think it's ok to do poo poo like this, when a couple minutes of thinking about it makes it blatantly clear that it isn't. Again, there is a big difference between aggressive sales tactics and adding lines to bills and just hoping people don't notice. In particular, it's that they added items to the bill which they then didn't give to the customer. At least if the sales guy slips the protection plan on your item you have a protection plan on it. e: You friend sucks, his coworkers suck, and his managers suck for not firing him on the spot with cause.

I read those stories, yeah. I still think there's a big difference between hiding charges and aggressive sales targets coupled with upselling, but at the end of the day I don't disagree that the culture is toxic. I think that type of behaviour would hurt the company in the end if not for the fact they basically operate without real competition. I think one issue there is that good salespeople can hit those aggressive targets in a legit manner, but bad salespeople need to do underhanded stuff to make the numbers, and then the company attaches the targets to the good salesperson's performance, who had to start doing underhanded stuff to improve when they arbitrarily increase the targets for the next quarter, vicious cycle etc. Plus, sales is a rough business, and most people aren't good salespeople, especially people who are working in a call center because they couldn't find anything better.

Helsing posted:This is probably the lamest (and laziest) kind of political criticism imaginable but I feel like at this rate Trudeau Jr. is barely going to be remembered in 20 years. The sheer vacuity and banality of his government up to this point is remarkable. He’s going to be like Jim Watson in Ottawa. Nothing special (well, Jim had amalgamation and all the sports stuff, but it never really felt like it was about him) but does enough to just stay elected. Also, unless he really fucks up there’s a good chance he’ll just stay in power for a really long time, which is notable in itself.

The OLP aren't morons like the PC party, and understand that you can't have a leadership change a handful of months before an election. Ford is going to have his base, but they're going to get killed if they run with the socons.

I work with someone who got her masters in the US, owns a house there with her husband, and has had a good professional job there for half a decade. She was on a work visa the whole time and they were saying it would still be years until she got a PR. it took her only a couple months to get a Canadian PR. I think it’s really cool, and I’m glad our country encourages people like her to move here.

I give a lot to a local non profit that has a pathway to full time subsidized housing. it isn’t focused on indigenous people per se, but a disproportionate amount of help goes to them because sadly they are also disproportionately homeless and in need. honestly figuring out the best place to put my money is a challenge, so I just went with an org that I knew really well and trust to do right.

infernal machines posted:it was SAP, deloitte, and accenture. there was no chance it was ever going to be anything but a monumental boondoggle SAP and Accenture weren’t involved. Phoenix is a heavily customized version of PeopleSoft implemented by IBM, though you’re right Deloitte was one of the subs to IBM, from what I understand mostly doing some business process mapping, data conversion and training material development. The main impropriety was centralizing the pay function and relocating the pay center to the Mirimichi for political reasons, despite there not being the correct skill sets to staff a pay center there. The failures of Phoenix otherwise are bog standard enterprise software / business transformation failures, exacerbated by an unwillingness in the public sector to take accountability for decision making. That’s how you end up with a PMO run by a third consulting firm reporting everything green to senior management while the folks doing the implementation are calling out major issues on the ground. the Gilroy report is a pretty good read and provides real insight into this type of project failure.
