  1. Re: And when do they start training their replacem on Cisco Systems To Lay Off About 14,000 Employees, Representing 20% of Global Workforce (crn.com) · · Score: 1

    Not here.

    CEO is a leader, not a Boss. There is one bad egg, but that ones been moved to the far end of the second warehouse so there's very little contact with said individual.

    I hope others can find the same luck as I.

    Try smaller businesses. The place I'm working at has about ten office people, 15 - 60 warehouse people (depending on need).

    And, the best part is they hire older folks rather than younger. the pay is better than what I was earning at the last Corp i was working at (and there all of the developers were stuck in a cube farm in the basement next to the maintenance area).

    I drove past this place for almost 15 years never knowing that I could of been working here instead of at the big corp job I had less than half a mile from here. Now I'm here and building an EDI system. :)

    Yeah, no shit.

    I love my current job. No micromanaging, total flexibility on how or what I code, very little pressure to resolve issues and a CEO that I routinely see in the warehouse helping out the employees when it gets busy out there.

    It's made me work harder to get stuff done simply because we're a team fixed on growing the company. This is the fist job in the past couple of decades that I haven't taken a sick day and haven't even taken a vacation day yet in two years.

    I am a lot more productive here, and plan on retiring from here in 15 or 20 years.

  4. I'm kinda wondering - CO2 sits at the bottom of a tank because it's heavier than air.

    If you made airtight fish (with the tops open) tanks about 12 foot high then stuck them in a desert - let one be just air, and the other have a high concentration of co2 and put a temperature sensor in both - that should solve the whole co2 debate.

    Am I wrong in thinking that?

    No, 55 mph was a stupid idea.

    And them repeating the tactic isn't growing anything. An example of this has happened, and can happen again anytime.

    You are arguing "Black or White" , I am saying this is (not 50) "shades of grey" .

    There is a clear abuse going on between comcast and state government. I have absolutely no issue with the government stepping in with the retraction of federal funding to crush that.

    If you have the fob, you can just open the door.

    Cruise control is different from Auto Pilot.

    And despite being modded down for mentioning it - the whole concept behind this is the car is supposed to be controlling itself. Giving time for the pilot to go to the lavatory and stuff.
