Ten Bullets
This deserves its own thread. Maybe in the wrong section, I don't know.

Yeah. My shop would be a lot less messy if I followed those bullets.
One thing I disagree with its the fines, even if the proceeds do go to a party fund. Specifically it's the doubling of the fines with each offence. This workplace seems too authoritarian. Even if there is a good reason for it all. |
But thinking on this a little further, there are A LOT of really good points in those bullets that a conscientious person should seriously consider implementing into the way they do things. They are a recipe for success.
I actually saw this video yesterday, and before I saw this post today I was thinking about it again. I was performing a task at work, and it was a multi-step task, just like one of those later bullet points. I had left two of the steps for today. It was kind of nagging at me overnight. I hadn't written it down on a to-do list, so it was just in my brain. It was trivial. I had done the lion's share of the work yesterday by completing some forms and getting them authorized. But I was procrastinating on scanning a copy of the forms for my records and submitting the forms for processing. So I was thinking about how I shouldn't have procrastinated and just done it all. |
You should address your procrastination problem some day

I can't see what Feet is talking about.
This what I see: Attachment 59102 I don't know if the problem is here, or, there. Or neither. Really old version of FF, btw, 34.0.5. |
Just this thread or the whole site?

So, yeah, a bit authoritarian, but I bet it is one of the best places to work. Quote:

Time is sacred. Get to the point a whole lot faster than this video. |
It's good to be the king.
The shop looks awesome. The crew probably is great to work with. I think I'd fit in well. But. Where do new ideas come from? No creativity? Maybe I won't fit in. Whose idea was it to have clear shrink tube in the first place? We have black and red and more black... dang. None of these are good... ? What happens when unforeseen circumstances make the instructions inapplicable? "I don't understand" might not cut it. I could go on with examples of my objections to this particular bullet, but I won't. Where is the motivation for everybody not the chooser of tasks? I got these rules, I have these extended tasks, I'm done, I guess I'll just wait around. I've been micromanaged before, it sucks. I'd rather have responsibility. And I recognize and accept that that comes with the responsibility for mistakes. Regarding the small monetary penalties, I also agree that the fines for transgressions are arbitrary. Why double? Because multiplying by two is kinda easy? pffft. Somebody transgresses ten times for the same thing... there's a bigger problem there. The rule or the person needs to be reevaluated. What happens when you turn it up to eleven??? Guy's got some *serious* control issues. Two separate bullets for acknowledgements *and* receipts? "Never say what you can email."? "The reverse is true when weaseling." I guess there is room for creativity. Lists are good, I love lists. But they should not be immortal, "Your list is your future and your past"? My near future and my recent past, maybe. "You will justify your actions through a carefully updated list." Well, if the action/item/result isn't justification enough, what the hell is the use of the list? But who's quibbling? |

I had to stop watching. I've been micromanaged. It is unbearable.

I like a good debate, it explores other perspectives. All that being said, I just bothered to go to his website and now I feel a bit foolish, because I suspect the whole video was somewhat tongue in cheek. Hard to say, but one of his sculptures is entitled "Barbie Slave Ship" and I wish the photos were bigger. * I guess considering the source, in this case, adds insight and perspective. I must say, for a sculptor, he is fucking tidy and more than a bit in controoooolllllll which made more sense when I thought he was making shit for NASA. |
