Fun Fact: I lived with a multitude of Mormon Missionaries at a rooming house in Kensington MD in the mid 80s.

Join me with the Church of Satan. Offer them some Satan's After School Coloring Books and see what they think of our 7 tenets of Satanism.

.ppt is good for delivering/presenting material. It certainly gets overused in Corp life though.

Most people 1) don’t know how to make an effective ppt. And 2) don’t know how to effectively present

No no no. I'm gonna go ahead and let you continue reading each piece of text you put on your slide. Because the audience can't read.

That’s the bullshit I’m talking about.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

All my boss talks about is making slides. I'm given directives to make "hundreds of slides" to start working from to distill into a "final deck".

I'm judged by how many slides I can crank out in a day and how good they look. Content isn't relevant, I'm instructed to use placeholders for data I don't have.

I came in to a frantic phone call this morning that I had to send a selection of slides to some people that don't matter, then go present to them. Went there, dialed my boss in, and he did all the talking while I sat there and stared out the window. At the end, he instructed me that I have "nothing less than 30-50 new slides" to share with him by the end of the day, with progress check-in at 3pm "wherever I'm at".

I'm seriously debating walking out and never coming back...

Chevy was crippled by bureaucracy, FCA is the exact opposite. There's no structure for how anything is done, so upper management can't give any sort of direction to work toward. Plus a revolving door of executive management had meant 2 changes in product and brand direction in the 6 months I've been here.

I'm convinced the auto industry is in a death spiral around the toilet drain. It's a shit show everywhere.

It's actually made me start considering that corporations have a finite lifespan, and it's probably about a century. Too much legacy crap colliding with new way thinking destroys a company's ability to function. Chrysler has been through bankruptcy twice in it's lifetime...GM once. Ford is just lucky. What 100 year old company is still around and thriving?

I think it's a bit of a greed issue... "grow, grow, grow, grow, grow" and eventually things spiral out of control.

The auto industry is worse because of how capital intensive operations are. So you've got grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, AND cut costs and spend no money to do it.

So, how are the powerpoints looking? Remember, 30-50 slides!

Guinness since 1759.

interesting history for sure.

Before 1939, if a Guinness brewer wished to marry a Catholic, his resignation was requested.[15] According to Thomas Molloy, writing in the Irish Independent, "It had no qualms about selling drink to Catholics but it did everything it could to avoid employing them until the 1960s."[16]

Haven't done any, I think I'm hoping I get fired for it. When asked in an interview why I got fired, replying with "I didn't want to make 30-50 worthless powerpoint slides in 4 hours" should be a good ice breaker.

ExxonMobil hasn't had to innovate product in the entire time it's been in business. Sure, refinement improvements or whatever, but for the most part, petroleum products are mostly unchanged. But good point.

I want to have a job where IDGAF about anything. In this one, I care too much about the products I'm working on. If I were working on a refrigerator or something, it would be WAY easier to
