OWH Memorial Undead Topic

It deals without outstanding accounts. Rather than distribute data, and then reporting on the data, the original authors distributed amounts, without data that could be used to validate.

So it was outstanding accounts, and amounts paid per day, rolling a month. And then summing up months, for several years.

So they thought the report was showing:

Date, $ Amount of New Accounts Billed, (Some statistics), $ Amount of Closed Accounts Original Billing, (Some statistics)

And they were using this to panic and say "We're losing more accounts than we're opening, we need to change blah blah blah."

But that isn't what it shows, it shows:

Date, $ Amount of New Accounts Billed, (Some statistics), $ Amount of Payments to Current accounts, (Some statistics)

But it was labeled:

Date $, (Some Statics), $, (Some statistics)

And sent via Excel, which is not a reporting package.

 

If your company is doing well, for the love of god, don't give the management legit material to base their choices on.

 

We make money despite our best efforts.

 

[uck fay]. So didn't they notice that, despite the reports, their revenue stream was not declining in a manner that supported the idea that they were losing more accounts than they were opening? This seems infinitely catchable. Like, did they think remaining accounts were growing so much as to cover any stream loss from all these allegedly closing accounts?

 

I catch shit like this all the time, and I update folks, and they say, no, I'm wrong. They've been doing this for 20 years, and this number (that cannot be hit or understood) is right.

You'd have to know our top people.

 

Y'all must sell something good, to succeed despite being blind and deaf.

 

We have a good CFO, who keeps everything diversified. And I'm finding, might be withholding some information from some other executives... with good cause.

 

I gave that up a long time ago to follow my dream. Been cleaning cook tops at the local Hibachi joint for years. It's an art and I consider myself to be Michalangelo, in both artistic and ninja abilities.

 

Float works for the company in the Dilbert cartoon.

 

Oh by the way, I did take last week's butt chewing to heart and decided to try and help the organization shed dead weight by applying for another job. I have an interview next week.

 

I actually just got one. I got a notification of some personnel action and thought they were about to drop the hammer on me. Turns out, I got a raise with some kind of wording included that was complimentary, but not overly so.

 

It's not for layouts and floor plans either, but that doesn't stop me from using it for such.

 

I'm been pushing for cost accounting for so long, because, in Dilbert's company, they at least have to budget their development resources.

And because that isn't true of where I am, because we don't do cost accounting, that people just think they can just re work a request over and over and over again, rather than just give me what I need up front.

 

I would never calm down, go straight in with rash, emotional decision making

 

In case everyone wondered what happened to our suez canal blocking ship.

Cost accounting, yuck.

 

Impractical jokers is the most annoying, unfunny show of its kind I've ever seen. I've tried several times now and nary a grin. People laughing at their own jokes makes it even worse imo, especially when the jokes and one liner suck

 

I’ve not ever watched it but I can’t imagine it’s worse than Big Bang Theory

 

Found the boss

 

Omg, yes, it is truly perplexing that the show has any audience. It feels like watching a series of inside jokes between people you just met and will never see again.
