We are leading the industry in RIF's.

Reduction in Force? i.e. we fired more people than anyone else.

We expect continued challenges in the marketplace. = We don't know when or how we will book more work.

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

So now I have to work 12s through the weekend to cover a scope change on my project that SHOULD have occurred last week when we noticed a problem (see wrought elbow thread). But no, we had to dick around and play the "code game" for 5 F'ing days just to get to the point where the ONLY option was to cut it out. Now I am the lead man on fixing it with an insane schedule.

On top of that I am expected to do it while not charging OT. F that! I am charging my full time this week. I do not work for free. I am missing out on Cardinals tickets, 15 rows from the dugout, on Friday night because of this.

I also don't understand why I am the only one at my company that has a sense of urgency when it come to this crap. The time frame is right there in your face, but I seem to be the only one that gives a damn and the only one that is "required" to work late to somehow fix the problem when it is above my pay grade and requires a PE to review and make the call. Did I mention that I do not have the expereince, expertise, or PE to do so? Oh I did? You don't care you have to go home to see your kids? I see, I haven't seen my son in 3 weeks..... You don't give a shit, I see.....

That sux, mizzou. Sorry to hear it.

Dex...PM me the company you will be hiring/firing people for. I will be sure I do not put an application for any position there since I do not want to put you in the situation to decide between hiring me, a minority member, or someone else...specially if the other candidate is superior.

You are welcome my friend

good news VTE!
you will have to keep us up to date on the latest mgmt jargon

how many times can you say "sustainable" in one sentence?

seriously though, good news.

Hopefully at least half as many times as he can use "synergy!"

If you leverage synergy for sustainability, you get a triple word score.

Here's my attempt, words highlighted in bold are those that you are expected to use at least 700 times a day in upper management.

We're leveraging our synergies withing our profit centers to produce sustainable solutions and create value for our stakeholders.

We've got a special committee reviewing real time data about the synergies between our market sectors. Their mission is to leverage more profits by creating a value oriented business plan for our clients and stay ahead of the curve.

My kids are not allowed to be architects. They can pump gas, bag groceries, or clean toilets for a living, I'll still respect them. But if they become an architect, I will disown them! It really sucks that I have to rely on douchebag architects for a major source of income as they are the most incosiderate pricks I have ever dealt with in my life. :brickwall:

Um... my brother is an architect. I assume you were speaking of all architect except him, right?

 

[MA_PE]

Of course, but that's only because I'm sure he's not one of the asshats making my life hell right now.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCK!!!!

You know you are in for a long night when one of your fellow HOA board members (he's a dumb ass) starts asking asinine questions during your annual community HOA meeting. If you are on the board and you don't know what the F is going on keep your yap shut and ask the competent members of the board what is going on after the meeting. Inserting your foot into your mouth during the meeting in front of the whole community just opens up a whole can of fucking worms and makes the whole board look incompetent. Sweet Jebus it was a long night.

Good. I don't think I could have handled dealing with an additional a$$bag this weekend.
