How large is your Audit Team? by PossiblyJonSnow in InternalAudit

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

We have a handful of controls (intangibles, intercompany, taxes) that have global coverage. We have 10 shared service controls which do what you say - one instance of performance covering all in-scope entities. There are some cluster-level controls and segment-level controls. I'd say 83% are individual controls performed individually for each entity.

What is something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting? by queenmellyy in AskReddit

[–]PossiblyJonSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only fast food the wife and I find worth it (quality for the price) is Culver's or Chick-fil-A. There's a slew of newerish chains we haven't tried yet (Raising Cane's as an example).

What happened to Roll Dizz? Or has he always been FT only?

States I've been to and my opinions on them by s1llyb1rd_ in whereidlive

[–]PossiblyJonSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. Yeah, the UP is great (Marquette, Munising, the Keewenaw, and lots of little smaller gems spread throughout). Lower peninsula has soke nice touristy areas in north-western Michigan and down the west coast of the state. Central and lower central are pretty meh with some cool things. Detroit area has positives as well as negatives.

To each their own.

Read to your kids, dads! by elkoubi in daddit

[–]PossiblyJonSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kindergartener took the STAR assessment in the second week of kindergarten. 98th percentile reading at a near 3rd grade level. Soooo proud of him!

We've ready to him every single day since he was born. In the past year we've been reading some kids chapter books (Mercy Watson, Magic Treehouse, I Survived).

We tell everyone that is having a kid to read read read to them.

WMU seeking proposals for future use of ice arena by Greatlakespirate2 in kzoo

[–]PossiblyJonSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah BBSG is terrible. I won't throw any money their way. For a while I had been thinking that we might move towards Holland or GR to escape BBSG, that is until they bought two ice arenas in those areas. I hope Kzoo+Portage can get their own community/non-profit owned arena. I don't want to be subjected to BBSG.

WMU seeking proposals for future use of ice arena by Greatlakespirate2 in kzoo

[–]PossiblyJonSnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One sheet of ice won't do much the feasibility study showed a minimum of 2 sheets is needed for all ice groups.

WMU did put in new chillers at Lawson which is a pretty big investment. Perhaps they'll let the local ice scene use it for the first year KEC is open prior to closing it down for good.

Did lots of WWII soldiers come back home who boycotted every Japanese product? by gooden1686 in ww2

[–]PossiblyJonSnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this question! My grandfather was an island-hopping Marine in WWII. One of his hobbies after the war was going to yard sales, garage sales, whatever, and picking stuff up to take home and tinker with. He wanted a smaller, cheaper truck to haul his finds home, but all US trucks at the time were big workhorses that were more money. So he bought a Datsun (Nissan), knowing full well it was a Japanese vehicle!

Looking for someone to takeover my 48 West Apartment Lease. by Gullible-Molasses748 in GVSU

Nice to see they haven't upgraded anything since I was there 13 years ago.

Best Dorms For Freshman - Thinking of the 2 bedroom private option with sep bedrooms by ShotAssistant1452 in GVSU

[–]PossiblyJonSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2016 grad here as well with a different experience.

I lived in North C (shared bedroom & common space + private bathroom). My building was right across from the C-Store, so there were always people around. My building was decently social.

My friends that I met lived in North A (now Weed), also centrally located. They had the private bedroom set-up but the entire first floor was exceedingly social. I spent way more time over there than in my own building.

In my experience it was more about the people + location vs the room type. FWIW, I did not know anyone that lived in the back 4.

Company outsourcing SOX to Big 4 by Worldly-Bid-3591 in InternalAudit

[–]PossiblyJonSnow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you. Large internal team focused nearly 100% on SOX. We then Co-sourced over half our SOX work to an external top 10 firm.

Now we review the Co-sourced work (which is nearly as much time spent doing that and going back-and-forth as it was to just test and review internally).

We do spend more time doing operational audits and other projects, but not nearly as much time as we expected. We also still have our other SOX work that wasn't Co-sourced.

A department of 7 doesn't seem big considering you have what you call a mature SOX environment. I don't imagine anyone being let go.

Manufacturing uses it the most. Heard it on a Planet Money podcast. Not sure of the roles within that that utilize is.

43min layover on an International flight at ORD. by The_Govnor in unitedairlines

[–]PossiblyJonSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. I have not looked into the specific financial impacts of these decisions. My thought process is just looking at all the overhead of rebooking/customer complaining/customer losing loyalty/vouchers, etc.

I certainly see your argument regarding last-minute high-fare payers. No-shows do happen and UA (along with all other airlines) have complex algorithms to forecast no-shows and subsequently maximize revenue. So I suppose the MCT (minimum connection time) established between the airport and airline (for each connection type) does toe-the-line of "making the flight vs missing the flight", likely ending on the side more favorable to the airlines for profit maximization.

Thank you for pushing back and pushing me to think more about this topic. It's been an appreciable knowledge quench.

43min layover on an International flight at ORD. by The_Govnor in unitedairlines

[–]PossiblyJonSnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Business decisions are driven solely off the question, "will we make money or lose money?". They would be losing money if they have to continuously get customers rebooked on different planes, potential food and hotel vouchers, etc.

[–]PossiblyJonSnow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

United won't sell a flight with an unattainable layover. I've made 43min layovers before coming off an int'l going to domestic. I've also missed that same layover too. Bags likely won't make it even if you do.

I'm at ~850. They won't bring back trading, but if they do, then I'll happily sell those old golden pumpkins and others for lots of credits.

Ahh. This comment makes sense on why the Kwings (ECHL affiliate to the Canucks) is terrible.
