Random Fail FWP Thread 2: Something, Something, Your Mother's a Whore.

In this case, I would think he could get an interview. He also very likely has connections through his suppliers that could help network him into a gig over there, which is more important than most paper-based bonafides. That being said, I think someone with less experience but a relevant degree (not fine arts but mechanical engineering or the like, even just a management degree) would probably jump ahead ahead of him from a first glance if they are 30+. What's important to remember is that "corporate-related" has more to do with managing people than anything else.

It's a lot of YMMV with this stuff because industries are VERY different in how they hire/train management positions. Chemical companies like Honeywell already have their hires locked in from their sophomore year of college. They actively pay them over summers to work for them and integrate into the company. Guys going into investment banking from high flying schools will get selected out of their first year class rankings. In my side of the industry? You can network your way in or transfer in. There's almost no hiring in the middle level. You need active experience to get here but the ground floor is wide open.

In your friend's case, it's much more of an age-based judgement though. Anyone with 25 years experience is not expected to have gone to college because that was not the norm then. In 15 years, someone without a degree in his position will very likely be 100% fucked all the time.

I like the supply chain industry because there is upward mobility. You can go from the floor to managing a set of stores and then jump up to the corporate level. Employees with an eye for automation and supply chain logistics can rise and rise far. Those companies also actively send their employees to school, they educate, retrain, and retain their experienced managers.

Anyway, this is a lot of text.

Every single day till the weekends for me. I’m going to die an early death cause of lack of sleep

Haha me too and often on weekends except it's also taking forever to fall asleep. And yeah the amount of health effects from lack of sleep or even getting enough but interrupted is kind of crazy but I'm living forever so whatever

With experience and like say a Six Sigma Yellow or Green belt and they would be in the door for anything supply chain related because corporate loves a LEAN trained employee.

Bruh, you get me.

I'm just getting this shit shoved in my face every single fucking day at work. Just telling it as it is. Now as for practicing it? Hah. They really need to send in the Bobs to cull the pack.

[Kalmado]

I'm trying so hard to turn my office into anything Six Sigma related because we have zero accountability and fly by the seat of our pants while only surviving on previous successes. My boss is slowly turning the corner.

Tonight's my wife and I's anniversary. I had bought two bottles of beer that I know to be good and promptly forgot them.in the fridge at work.

bought some yogurt from Trader Joe's without looking closely, it's not greek yogurt, it's whole milk yogurt, 300 calories, 160 from fat.

LOL fuck no, that's going in the trash

[dasva]

Sounds delicious send it to me!

The sugar content is a better indicator of how "healthy" yogurt is, opposed to the calories/fat

Obviously in your case if you're looking for a low-cal snack, that one isn't doing it for you

^that. Especially added sugar (lactose aint so bad unless you got problems with that). Only reason I do fat free is because Fage's tastes pretty good/good mixer and it's more for rounding out the protein for the day without having to add a lot of calories (though if I want can definitely throw some fat in lol)

My fail I think I have a sneaky potentially super bad migraine right now. Like doesn't hurt per se but it has that same feel I sometimes get when my body is telling me something hurts but I don't feel the hurt if that makes sense. Normally this happens only when I do it on purpose or am in a bit of shock from an accident so not sure why right now and makes it hard to properly judge how bad it is. But all the other symptoms like various pressures and strain and sensitivities etc are there very strong and over doing it will push me to the actual owwie... but I forget because no owwie right now and do stupid stuff again

Was asked to conduct yet another training on using the AV equipment in the new conference room. Walked out after 30 seconds because two people started arguing over who was allowed to talk due to who was running the meeting. Told their supervisor that when they decide to act like adults instead of children and wasting my time, I'll be happy to continue.

I also work for a fucking government agency. They are so fucking lucky I'm not their supervisor as I'd have sent both of them home unpaid.

Debit card info got stolen, and my bank flagged several fraudulent charges today. Card is cancelled, but may not get the new one for ~1.5 weeks due to timing. Thankfully have some cash on hand and nearby family if I really need something.

[Zetanio]

You can also access your account at the bank without a card. Just need to prove your identity.

[Tokitoki]

You can also get a temporary card from the bank that can be used at ATMs, but not online.

Or *gasp* write a check.

Definitely don't do this because you don't have checks, just like the rest of us.

Just wrote a check this week to our contractor for work done!

[Tokitoki]

ur old

Unfortunately, I still have to write at least a few checks a month. Landscaping, lawn fertilization, HOA dues (fuck your $35 CC processing fees!); so haven't been able to get away from them entirely yet.
