Need A Few Post-Its Around The Office?
An anonymous reader writes "Like every company, we have an office prankster. So, whenever anything goes wrong -- say, your chair starts making unusual noises or your CD tray starts popping out for no reason, invariably you'll look up and see Dave, our esteemed leader, grinning foolishly at his handywork. So really, Damon shouldn't have been surprised when he came into the office one otherwise-normal Monday morning to find this. Nor should James have been surprised when he showed up early one morning to this birthday surprise. It certainly keeps us on our toes." Ah, the joys of not telecommuting ...
What the hell are those MICROSOFT ads doing in the stories ?! For God's sake, most people on Slashdot think MS sucks in a way or another and the editors seem to agree, and still there are MS "Get The Facts" anti-Linux FUD ads embedded in the submissions ?! This is so very ludicrous...
I thought about registering a couple of weeks ago but now with that rampant nonsense, you can kiss one potential contributor goodbye. I just hope you'll ban Microsoft adverts from Slashdot as soon as possible, as a matter of coherence and honesty.
Are you gunning for Insightful with this? Seriously, dude...this is lame. You're trying to get that hazy, far-off look with a tear in the corner of your eye...FACE IT, the story is about somebody sticking post-it notes on stuff! Nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't need anyone trying to make it into some kind of sentimental vignette.
You're an American, arn't you? No one else could possibly be stupid enough to think that "Handiwork" is the correct spelling of "Handywork".
While we're at it though, it should be "Handy work" or possibly "Handy-work", but not "Handywork" because that isn't a word.
You only get contracts from the cheap companies with no vision. There are plenty of us still employed here in the country that values human beings more than cattle.
Of course, this is such an obvious troll that I feel dirty typing a response, but I had to say at least this: 99 out of 100 foreign engineers I have worked with have a severe lack of knowledge of the profession they have chosen. So keep hoping for those contracts to continue - your competitive advantage won't last.
And while I'm being racist, why don't Indians like hygiene? Is it against their heathen religions or something? Holy fuck - curry, sweat, and shit combined do not a pleasant officemate make.
Outside of work I play hard
I've never met a dot-head that played hard at anything, or had anything remotely resembling a personality.
The only cool Indians I know are ABCD's.
-- You see, there would be these conclusions that you could jump to
No probs buddy. My division has been making more money than its American uber-division ever since I've been here, that's thirteen years.
/much/ more serious competition than them. In 20 years India may be a serious competitor, by that time you'll be selling hot dogs or delivering the mail, if we can't figure out how to outsource those jobs.
You just keep telling yourself you're better, we'll be taking your techniques and our attitude and turn them into profit. Oh, and our execs will be (and are) running your companies.
99/100 eh?. I bet you have never worked with a foreign engineer.
WTF has India got to do with it? You've got
what a waste of resources, even if it's just post-it notes. taking care of the enviromenment starts with small steps.
They couldn't fix my brakes, so they made my horn louder.
Absolutely. We are paid about 75% of the pay of our American counterparts. Our cost of living is about 60% of theirs.
You do the math.
