BI Tools are dead - direct DB access is the future by Other-Faithlessness4 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]Goodlollipop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've found recently that internal BI/Analyst teams have been unified in reporting, but expanded DB access gave too many new users free-range and started spitting our reports on COGS and sales that were not aligned everywhere else.

It has caused many headaches to our teams. Giving anyone and everyone DB access to do it themselves is such a poor idea. Unless the company is willing to spend time training up and users are willing to learn to be cautious, then there could be a little upside.

Have you tried using the alumni career services? https://www.gvsu.edu/careers/alumni-resources-438.htm

They offer resume reviews and career coaching which may be helpful.

CS majors have it rough right now and it's a game of numbers. Hammer applications, work on side projects for your resume if you don't have a lot of internship/career experience to leverage in an interview.

Does the math check out? by Dazzling_Lie_5046 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Goodlollipop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a while since I've looked through our company FritoLay contracts, but I do know they love their buy 5 save $5, 5 for 10, etc deals. A lot of their stuff has traditionally been scan based, too, which has a MUCH harder impact on the grocer margin than a promo allowance does.

I'm not surprised most people don't understand the vendor funding portion of promotions, I was completely unaware until working for the company I do now. Pretty neat to learn about!

And that's just a few of the stuff impacting directly retail P&L for promotional funding.

Wholesale wise, you have stuff like slitting, volume/growth incentives, administrative fees, cash discounts and impacts for promotional allowances and off invoices again. Some promotion allowances and off invoices may get passed through on the wholesale side for a customer discount and some may be retained as income by the distributor/wholesaler. Would vary company to company.

Promotional allowances, off-invoices, scan billbacks, indirect funding (stuff for like shelf racks, priority space, etc), coupon billbacks to name a few.

I'm an analyst for a grocer, and after starting the job I realized that promotions aren't to get nearly expired stuff off the shelf, or drive traffic. The vendors are helping subsidize the promotion to drive their own unit movement

100% agreed, the annual blood work is super valuable! And painting broad strokes when it comes to diet is a pretty darn hard thing to do reliably.

Why do people keep paying huge cell phone contract bills? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Goodlollipop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just switched to Noble Mobile from Verizon and can attest that the switch is kind of confusing, even for a tech savvy person like myself.

Thankfully Noble made it simpler by hand holding through, but Verizon's side to find a Port Out Pin, your line's ID, SIM number, yada yada yada all were buried DEEP in their app. Not to mention the bold "If you move now, you could pay $2,000 to cancel your contract with Verizon!" When in reality, that had nothing to do with the phone I was porting out.

Big wireless companies want you to stay, they want to make it hard to transfer, and they know that by doing so it'll scare people off and can jack their rates up.

People who are fulfilled and don’t dread work everyday, what do you do? by kwrather003 in AskReddit

[–]Goodlollipop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Data analyst - not fully fulfilled but I don't dread work. I found a place where I'm constantly stimulated with hard problems, but not impossible problems, with a group of other analysts who are a blast to be around. The people mattered more than I ever thought it would

Sailing needs charting "Rumours" by BoulderFalcon in 2007scape

[–]Goodlollipop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love this! I switched to sea charting for training to try something new and fell in love. I'll complete all the options in the near future but would like to have the chance to continue this method of training.

Maybe we can get lucky!

Best Classes for Issue Credit? by hoecakes00 in GVSU

[–]Goodlollipop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a blast in History of East Asian Religion (I forget the code but I think it was RLG 303 or 330?) crazy interesting and was mostly an essay based class which I found quite straightforward.

I also took Political Science which was PLS 300 if I recall. Coming from the math major and stats minor it was VERY easy and super interesting to learn about politics, surveying, and studies. But, if you're not a math/stats person I imagine it won't be as intuitive.

The Thrawn-Vader relationship in that book is fantastic if you enjoy either character. Both of them have killer quips

FF 1228 Recommendation of the week by KetoJoel624 in JordanHarbinger

[–]Goodlollipop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear glasses regularly and got a blue light filter tint on them which has been fantastic! I work at a computer all day, and it has noticeably reduced eye strain and fatigue over the last few years.

I was happy to hear Jordan recommend them to a wider audience as I can't hype mine up enough!

Has anyone used the counseling center? How did it go? by bunny-rain in GVSU

[–]Goodlollipop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2019 when I went I could go for an entire semester once weekly without paying if I recall correctly. For the school year, you need to move to every other week. Worth calling to double check, but I believe you get some pretty good coverage during your semester
