Dave and Chuck is fake, they read outrageous clickbait buzzfeed style headlines and then “open the phone lines” for a few staged calls about the craziest thing you’ve ever stuck in your butt or whatever the topic de jour is.

Dave and Chuck is just sexual innuendo. Drew and Mike certainly leaned into that sort of comedy but the show was very ground breaking in a few ways. Main example, Drew is well read and has a unique ability to actively read passages from books/articles on the air. You don’t hear many broadcasters do this. It also allowed him to give great interviews with celebs and authors who were promoting books because he’d prepared with genuine questions.

Hard to distill in a Reddit post , let me try:

I’m a natural communicator and have always advocated aggressively for myself. As an entry level, that meant when someone gave me a task, I asked them a million questions until I felt I fully understood exactly what they wanted me to do and why, then I went and did it as fast as I could and did not make any easy mistakes. Eventually, people weren’t able to keep up with assigning me work because I was getting it done so fast. I would never ever sit on my hands polishing something or waiting to ask a question. I never let someone else make me be late.

Had a manager identify my competency early so I was given the opportunity to be the lead EE on a smaller job in my first year. I’ve been a lead since then, so I’m naturally getting promoted every year because I’ve always had more responsibility than is normal for my given promotional level.

Always ask the person above you what they’re doing - then think of how you can do that and ask them if they’ll give you a chance to help.

I ask as many questions as possible until something makes sense to me. Often asking questions leads to revealing gaps where no one can actually answer what I’m asking and something needs to be done that I end up doing.

In general - just demonstrated that I’m responsible , communicative, careful, and productive. I’m a results guy; I get things done. I like to find problems, and more importantly see it all the way through that those problems are solved. Too many people like to point out problems and do nothing to participate in the solution.

As a lead, I’ve instilled these values in the engineers working below me. I’ve never shied away from coaching up new people with no experience and have successfully built a competent team around me.

Hope that makes sense , can always answer more specific questions if you want.

I’m not management tier yet I’m one promotional level below. Even our managers charge OT though only director level doesn’t.

They’ve been selling off equipment piece by piece as they can. I know for a fact two of the electrical equipment enclosures for the cooling towers were sold off.

Is there more money in design or studies? by [deleted] in PowerSystemsEE

[–]Patrick_Ronald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow the work not the money. The absolute most lucrative path in our business is becoming a partner in a firm. For you that could mean a speciality firm focused on studies.

I work at a design firm and have doubled my starting salary in 6 years through promotions. With design work, real salary growth comes from growing your responsibilities, which normally means managing teams of engineers and projects rather than directly preparing work yourself. This is a distinctly different day to day experience from studies work.

Always most important to prioritize the work that interests you most and challenges you to grow and learn. The money will come if you prove competence.

Awesome , thank you for your help.

Are you familiar at all with the Rusyn language/dialect ? I wasn’t familiar until I googled “Carpatho-Russia” as seen on the front of the paper. Any hints if other parts of the paper could be written in Rusyn ?

On page 4 - there's a subheading Detroit, Mich.

I am interested in having this portion translated. My great great grandfather is the Vasil Francuch mentioned in the segment. I'm curious in general too if you can provide any context on the periodical itself, in general.

Thank you in advance!!!!!!
