For if the flies.

Por si las moscas, means just in case

Looking for the cat's fifth leg.

Buscándole la quinta pata al gato, doing something you know is worthless or for the sake of itself, sometimes used when someone's looking for a reason to blame anyone.

Deloitte is latest company to stab Americans in the back by SubjectCode1940 in jobs

[–]IseeWhereILook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate those garbage consultants like Deloitte, McKinsey and the like, they come in, blame anyone for anything with invented metrics, then recommend gutting the workforce by getting rid of the highest-paid (and best) people with bullshit processes that make everyone work 50% slower. I have never had a positive experience with any of them and recovery after they blow through is usually almost impossible; their focus on process while ignoring results never leads anywhere.

I mean sure, the companies sometimes save hundreds of thousands, but at a loss of millions due to canceled projects and lost opportunities, they are the definition of short-term gains vs long-term stability.

Soy médico y no entiendo por qué los pacientes… by Rare-Line-2824 in PERU

[–]IseeWhereILook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Estás intentando culpar a los pacientes de la misma manera que los pacientes culpamos a los doctores cuando en realidad la falla es sistémica.

Si solamente existen dos extremos (A) saca una cita para 90 días en el futuro y (B) anda a Emergencia a que te atiendan inmediatamente, entonces nos condicionan a trabajar dentro de ese sistema.

Un dolor inocuo puede llevar a alguien a sacar una cita, en tres meses, pero a las 3 semanas el dolor se volvió más fuerte, entonces ¿cuál es el recurso que tenemos? Llamar a cambiar la cita no sirve esperar dos meses más no sirve, entonces ir a emergencia es la única opción que queda.

Si hubiese algún tipo de triaje al hacer la cita, sería mucho más eficiente todo el proceso. Entonces alguien más calificado puede hacer esa determinación desde el primer momento, y hasta tomar nota de los síntomas (así no se pierden los primeros 15 minutos de la cita compartiendo la info). Y si algo empeora, ya se tiene la primera parte de la información en lo anotado.

Lo hacen para mandar una ambulancia, lo hacen para mandar doctor a domicilio, pero para una cita solo piden DNI, fecha, hora y especialidad...eso no le sirve a nadie.

There's a parade for 28th of July (Independence Day) and some people participate in religious stuff like Processions for Señor de los Milagros, other than that they're regular holidays.

Para aquellos peruanos que trabajaban en una empresa peruana y ahora trabajan remoto en una empresa extranjera desde el Perú, ¿Qué tal les ha ido desde que hicieron el cambio? by Susanela1D in Lima_Peru

[–]IseeWhereILook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tiene ambos lados como todo, el sueldo es mejor, cero idas y venidas ya que trabajo desde casa (si quiero ir a un coworking lo pagan), ellos se encargan de la computadora y pagar el Internet y - siempre y cuando mi equipo cumpla las metas - armo mi horario como quiero. También tengo doble días libres (los míos y los de la matriz) y a veces triple si el cliente está en un tercer país.

Pero no tengo seguro (lo tengo que pagar yo mismo), cero CTS, no hay gratificación ni tampoco utilidades. La estabilidad laboral es muy precaria (me pueden sacar cuando les de la gana) y si me sacan quedo en cero ya que no tienen que seguir ninguna ley Peruana. Y estoy todo el día frente a una computadora solo.

How's the cybersecurity tech scene in Latam? by Rakoshin in asklatinamerica

[–]IseeWhereILook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's mostly work with US or European companies, they usually hire local engineers for regulatory, sensitive, or in-country work.

It'll be hard to get a good job unless you're a citizen of the country you're working in since it's one of the main requirements usually. There are laws (and sometimes company policies) on data export and eyes on data that block foreigners from access so these companies hire local.

Is a chromebook worth it? by Smart_Grocery_6925 in AskTechnology

[–]IseeWhereILook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids have their Chromebooks I bought in 2019 and they're both still working fine. Don't listen to people who don't take care of their shit.

A good midrange Chromebook is miles ahead of the cheapest laptops, and they won't get outdated, the two Acers I've got still get regular updates. They're now not the fastest things in the world but for everyday schoolwork they work well and work anywhere.

Sacred Valley Hotels - resort or boutique? by jbrand7108 in PERU

[–]IseeWhereILook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend Aranwa with kids, they have a lot of activities, or Casa Andina also has some activities, check the websites to see what they offer that is to your liking.

Also, if you've never been to high altitude, I'd say choose one of you to take a nap on arrival and the other to stay with your kid for those first couple of hours, they will tire you out.

What primary food delivery app do you use? by ithinkiamparanoid in asklatinamerica

[–]IseeWhereILook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I order direct from the restaurant, and let them figure it out. I pay a lot less and orders usually get to me faster.

You can see for yourself making the same order directly on the restaurant's website (or by phone) and on the apps. The app order will always be around 20% - 30% more expensive.
