  1. Non-Technical Managers in a Technical Company on Non-Technical Managers in a Technical Company? · · Score: 1


    Well actually no they don't really need to be. They just need to be able to trust the people they have working for them in the technical areas and must exhibit exceptional leadrship ability.

    I have much more to add but I don't to seem to be ranting...

  2. Cheops on Secret Chamber In The Great Pyramid? · · Score: 1

    The Egyption Antiquites always has some excuse not to let people in to test, it won't hurt anything and the Egyptian authorities can decide whether or not to proceed further....

    What was that simple question?

    'When will service be restored?'

    Do you really think the rep in the call center really knows how long the repairs will take?

    When I ask I usually get the same answer..

    'We are trying restore service as soon as possible'

    Would you have been happy with this answer?

    Most people wouldn't -- What good is for you to know that maybe a piece of equipment has failed or that lines were knoked out? Your not fixing the problem and complaining is not going to get it done any quicker...

    As for a credit, your entiltled for the time when service has unavailable. However,if you read your service contract you may find that they are not responsible for serive issues caused by Natural events, War or now days terrorist attack......

    Beer in plastic bootles does sucks! (we have it as well) All we have been hearing about is how Janet Jackson showed a tit during the Super Bowl halftime show, It was a publicity stunt, new alblum coming soon Hell she should have gave us a two for one sale for all this B.S...

    (6 weeks of vacation time, really? thats cool)

    Corp. America is trying to find more ways to f'k us over by shipping more job's over seas, reduce benefits, pay corp exec more for making bad decisions, really trying to do way more with less people.I worked the 60 - 80 hours a week scheduleand dealt with the pressure and demands of customers, project scheduls and management, oh let's not forget doing the samething 4 times over.

    India is PO'd that a bill is before the US Sentate that would prevent the US Gov. from out-sourcing to componies that send jobs over seas..
    The Pres already said he would veto...(figures)..
    and Corp America is lobbying it's ass off as well to stop it. Recently a Labor bill was passed that allowed companies to reclassify over million hourly workers so they could be converted to salary, saving millions on OT.. Go figure - this even robs Unlce Sam of tax dollars...

    We have not had any good bands in the US, hell since I don't know when.. Everything to day is based on marketing of no talent teenagers.. I still listen to the groups I grewup with, most no longer make alblums..

    So as you can see were pretty much in same boat, just on difference side of the globe...
