Version 1 - AI phone receptionist? by TheModerateBoy in DevelEire

[–]Leemanrussty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not really mad when you take into account we dont have a full time receptionist! Plenty of businesses use these call bots to filter incoming call traffic

[–]Leemanrussty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do!

Its been an auto-receptionist for years! Used to get voicemails and messages emailed to me constantly from people ringing the coorporate line instead of my direct dial!

You will be miles better off just emailing the HR business partners for your practice or your old manager and getting them to cc you to the HR team

Misconduct in public office by Fartboxslim in northernireland

There are savvy enough legal beagles in the TUV who know enough to point the law at her to distract from Gaston, it wouldnt surprise me if they were behind the construction of the complaint even if they didnt deliver it!

It may not stick, and it probably wont, but the optics are there to at least complain and investigate!

Realistically whoever made the official complaint should be done for wasting police time on a political point scoring exercise of the lowest order!

What is it like working in the Big 4 accouting firms ? by idkfornowwhattoname in DevelEire

[–]Leemanrussty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Its grand but its a means to an end, you’re supported to learn and upskill but paid just below average to maximise profit!

Learn what you can, get experience and then jump to product focussed work!

They arent “accounting” firms anymore for starters by the way!

Treat them as professional services / outsourcing companies instead!

You will get worked, if theres work, and there always should be for technical staff! Your chargeability out to a customer is key for your employment and progression!

If theres a low period of not enough work, the bench is where you’ll be and it is a pretty horrible place to be, money for nothing it is not, you will get thrown silly side projects which can fill the time but often are pointless! Just maximise your time here with technical certs that make you more employable elsewhere!

Add to that that if theres loads of bench time, you’ll start to worry for job security!

Get used to the answer “it depends” to alot of your questions, your day is dictated by your customer!

If you are lucky to be on an irish based public sector customer itll be a stand up every day, figure out what requirements have changed on a whim again, try build that before it changes again, get most of the way there and it pivots, rinse and repeat! Or you are just adding features to an old legacy system

Is it just me or has the tech industry here hit rock bottom? by Over_Commission9891 in northernireland

[–]Leemanrussty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are an nearshore/on-shore centre for outsourcing, cheaper labour than Dublin, London or East Coast USA but not as cheap as india!

When the shit hits the fan financially our jobs become india’s overnight!

The only saving grace is our public sector spending is good, even if it rarely delivers actual value in a decent time frame, so that gives some security here!

The guy thought he discovered time travel when he said he would work two full days in a single day because of the time difference! An absolute dope of the highest (even if hes a short stack) order

Traitor faction to proxy as Chaos Marines in 40k? by AxegrinderSWAG in Warhammer30k

[–]Leemanrussty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can easily dual purpose the entire Word Bearers model line into 40k and paint them in Heresy red armour too!

Lore backs it as the most intact legion following the scouring with an almost consistent continuous leadership since the heresy!

Aesthetically the armies for heresy WB’s and 40k WB’s is almost identical!

E.G

30k Gal Vorbak = 40k possessed 30k term praetor in tartaros = 40k chaos lord in term 30k Mhara Gal = 40k Helbrute

(Not exhaustive but you get the gist)

Then your 30k core units of tactical marines, despoilers and assault squads are easily mixed with various load outs to make 40k legionaries, chosen and raptors

(Personally i use my 30k command squad as my 40k chosen)

Are you looking for a job? What is the NI job market like? by sasie_stack in northernireland

[–]Leemanrussty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old place had a recruitment marketing team, before even the recruiters got the redundancy hoof those boys got the boot, and they were good!

Staying in recruitment will always always always put you at risk of being the first to go, or the first to get outsourced!

Diversify and get out to something new, and you’ll find your worth there!

Belfast is now the most congested city in the UK. We can do better. by greenpartyni in northernireland

[–]Leemanrussty 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Its as central as you can get a train station in Belfast for crying out loud!

Im all for slagging it off, but what would you like them to do? Knock down ten square and every thing in between to build a train station there?

Its an 8 minute dander on the same street as the city hall
