@Rich0 (548339) Intriguing, there's so much wrong with your post, it's hard to know were to start: 1. "if it can't be measured, it must not be important." a. It might be "important", but if you can't measure it, you CAN NOT do anything meaningful about it, that's right Gut feeling is just another word for prejudice. "my gut feeling tells me the black guy mugged the nice old lady". b. Who says it can't be measured? Be smarter.
2 "that's why privately owned businesses don't have these kinds of problems" Wait, WHAT? "he KNOWS he is losing money." Well, that sounds like a HUGE problem right there. If he can't define the problem, or measure it, he shouldn't be a business owner.
Please stop this propping up of the small business owner as some sort of hero. His shit stinks just the same. Mind you, I'm not saying measuring is everything, But I am strongly against ignoring, abolishing or dissing measurements, especially in favor of "gut feeling". Sounds like dangerous Luddite talk to me
this is called Wishful Mathematics: You think all those 10 minutes are gonna somehow roll themselves into one stretch of workable hours? It won't
sorry, but this kind of insane: Those 10 minutes each morning, you can't just add them up and say: look, I've got a whole extra working week!
You'd be better off by banning Facebook, and Youtube. THAT's what is killing productivity in the office. boot up times... mah aZZ!
And leaving your PC permanently on will cost you about 1K in electricity per year. Screw your network people, tell them to plan their systemwide maintenance.
Banning Facebook is ALWAYS a good idea!
1. If your workers/employees are demoralized by banned Facebook, you should fire them. More where they came from.
2. the increase and decrease in employee morale aren't equal
no it's not. just becos you can't fathom it, doesn't mean it isn't there. That is the whole problem with greenhouse gas emissions, as opposed to taxes. People can't see it or hear it. So, the responsible people for the strategic interests of the country should make it a tax, because that IS what people can see. But.... taxation is a blasphemous word in the USA, so... nothing will ever get done.
A country where half of the (poor!) people are so dumb that they even can't bring themselves to vote for taxing the SUPER rich, (we're talking BILLionairs , not stinking millionaires here) deserves all the problems they get.
Good response. Democrats always bring up logic and reason... and then Republicans win elections with Flags and Apple Pie.
Oh well, it's no use, Americans wanna drive big cars, future be damned so they'll vote for the old guy who'll take abortion away.
The inhabitants of low-lying atolls and islands all around the Pacific would like to have a word with you.
... the millions of people living in large coastal cities would, too.
"this coastal tribe"??? Typical, must be a red-state midwesterner. What do they care about coasts? Oh wait, they don't LIKE to eat fish? In some ways, the thought that global warming is a red state conspiracy to get rid of the blue states, might not be so far fetched...;);)
