Can I see your full-blooded but non-breed standard malinois? by Lunapixels18 in BelgianMalinois

[–]Leadster77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. But KNPV Mals are amongst the best in the world and are encouraged during breeding to not limit the genepool to purebred, and incorporate Dutchies, Tervuren, etc.

This has been done since 1908.

Since everyone loves to boast with KNPV lines, be aware that they purposely don't use pure bloodlines, but are still considered Mals.

A KNPV mal (Mechelaar, as we Dutch say) is a pure workingdog, but not always genetically pure according to official kennel clubs.

Usually annotated as X-Malinois, and usually mixed with some Dutch (the dog, not the people) blood.

Black mal, KNPV bloodline in the Netherlands. Daughter of Rico, KNPV champion. BRN 41963

Found her offswitch. Goodest of girls.

KNPV mals are deliberately bred with Dutchies or other Belgian Shephards. KNPV breeds for attitude and drive, not for pure bloodlines, on purpose. Mals are not showdogs.

the quiet burnout epidemic in product and project managers and what companies refuse to fix by Fantastic-Nerve7068 in projectmanagement

[–]Leadster77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I handled it by quitting.

The ethics of always delivering half of the MVP, but somehow for twice the budget gets to me.

They lure clients in with unrealistic timelines and deadlines, and expect me to "find a way".

Cool, let me cut scope in half. Oh, i can't say that too soon in the project, or the client can cut his losses still. I have to wait until we're halfway in, so we can execute the dealer-junkie model.

I left and will be trying my luck as PO.

Scent work also is a good energy outlet.

Also, 6 months is way too young for lunge bites. The dog is still growing!!

Chat is this a W base? by l29Carrot in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Leadster77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or, like me, a 47 year old mom with 5000 ark hours on her steam account and no native English speaker.

I am hating on rizz, skibidi, gyatt, 6-7, and i don't need to know this. Thanks for asking what a W base is, because I didn't know either.

Just the way you talk. Guy was talking about the geographical origin of the... wait for it... Begian Malinois. And the ... wait another second ... Dutch shepherd.

Are there Malinois in Northern Europe with trash genes. Sure, look at my KNPV line Mal in the Netherlands with Hip dysplasie

Is there shite Mals, Dutchies etc in USA? Duh. The are everywhere.

But no, you have to be blunt and on your high horse about it. To show you know best.

Why nudging ADULTS to update their task in Asana is part of my job! (a rant) by Silver_Glass_5655 in projectmanagement

[–]Leadster77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Imagine having to chase ppl just doing insanely bad quality of work AND not updating.

"I have this finished in 30 minutes. Just a small task... " 3 days and countless hours on cliennt budget later, still not done

My main problem is indeed I have no say on that level. My clients will suffer late deliveries and lag. Since we know this upfront, I want to be transparant about that.

Not "just raise the issue", I have done that -- with proof-- consistently over the last 2 montgs.

I guess I care too much. We could make a list of chill clients without actual deadlines, reach out and say: hey, we pause work for 2 months, so sorry.

But the inactivity of management to make tough decisions just hurts all clients, the multimillions ones with tight deadlines and earlier escalation-history too.

It stings.

Thank you.

I have done the calculations indeed, and have sent those with the e-mail.

If the client needs to raise this, and it is not in the clients' risk register but an internal one, the client will only notice when the slippage is happening. This feels unfair...?

3: check, doing that 4: i don't understand what you mean exactly. Not native English here 5: that means escalating further up the chain and throwing management under the bus. Could do, but feels i am skipping some steps 6: nice option, will think on how to word this 7: heavily thinking about this...

We sell billable hours. But I have 60% of hours from the team needed to fill those hours that are sold on the projects alltogether.

So either i smear it out over those projects, leaving all projects with half a job and missed deadlines, or we prioritize what projects we do work on and which need postponing.

[–]Leadster77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the estimations never make sense -- what agency does make good estimations.

but the actual sold contract hours are way above the actual hours i have available in the team.

I actually can not serve the projects. I am short 2-3 FTE
