I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

That may seem like a good idea but then there cost comes off my P&L for the business unit....and that reduces the chance of me making my number and getting a fat bonus "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Malcador Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) What company hires a new person because some other person went on vacation? Could be hires to increase the slack in the planning? Is also the hit by bus factor. Today, lady at work commented that I am not as weird as she first thought.

Gfted1 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 In my company its every person for themselves. If I go on a one week vacation, you guessed it, there's one week of work waiting for me when I get back. 2 http://www.sloganizer.net/en/image,Gfted1,black,red.png
ShadySands Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 If the work wasn't time sensitive then it would wait but most stuff was moved off to other people. It was only the higher up types who got temps and even then it was just for the menial stuff and anything important or requiring certain skillsets was handed off to other employees. Now at my current place work mostly stops if someone is out. It's been difficult to adjust to. Free games updated 3/4/21
Guard Dog Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 If I went on vacation for a week it would probably be three days before I was even missed! "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
majestic Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Meh. I'm getting a little envious. I have a ton of vacation credits that I can't use at the moment. I'd like a job where nobody would miss me for a week or two. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

LadyCrimson Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Yesterday/today I haven't felt much like gaming so instead I've been browsing through the entire collection of Ebert's film reviews that are archived on his site. I rarely visit the site anymore since his passing - with no single voice there anymore the site is boring - but I'm glad they've kept his archive up. I started on the very last page (there's over 450 pages with multiple reviews each page) and have been slowly making my way through a lot of them. It's an interesting re-walk through some of film's history, so to speak. I still miss Ebert a lot. I think I only agreed with his star-conclusion maybe 65% of the time but his rating wasn't why I read his reviews. Only film reviewer I like these days is still James Berardinelli. His "ReelThoughts" essays are often interesting reads as well. “Things are as they are.
