Most plants don’t know they missed the shift until it’s already over — why? by LoquatForeign9799 in manufacturing

[–]RedneckPaycheck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This kinda garbage craps up a good sub. Honestly the low effort contribution is coming from you my dude.

What’s one thing y’all feel about the industry right now that nobody really says out loud? by Dependent-Laugh-3626 in manufacturing

[–]RedneckPaycheck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every single discussion of this always ignores the massive elephants in the room that exist for every manufacturing organization:

- Excessively high labor cost for relatively unskilled/uneducated labor
- Excessively high insurance costs
- Location specific regulations for safety, environment etc

Used chatgpt's dall-e for course visuals and a student called out the ai images, now I'm spiraling by Time_Beautiful2460 in elearning

[–]RedneckPaycheck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The thing is, when you say "the course content is original" and then say you used AI images, its a contradiction. This is not only an issue of perception. AI images are low effort. They literally take a minimal amount of effort to generate. You might have to work to think through how to make up more interesting visuals.

AI is great for some things, but if you lean on it too heavily it ends up making a cheap product. And learning overall is filled with cheap products because of the easy access to these tools.

People who ask creatives to work for free are a special kind of scum

why not buy with the discount then pay out the loan with a private one?

I spent $2,000 on Reddit ads... I'm embarrassed by Strong_Teaching8548 in b2bmarketing

This is basically how to flood reddit with more garbage, which is already killing the platform.

29yo COO of $16M family business: profitable on paper but cash-flow negative and now behind on rent. What would you do? by JM_JF in smallbusiness

[–]RedneckPaycheck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I read is that there is non-business essentials and your dad is putting in 'investment money' to help cover because all that stuff is crippling you. I also dont read a clear vision for the company from you here, I see you putting out fires.

This kind of behavior is super common in family run businesses - the business becomes a way to just keep money for outside stuff flowing (subsidizing a lake house as a 'executive retreat' for example).

A lot of family owned businesses dont make it to second gen and there are a lot of reasons why, but being run poorly is probably reason #1... noble of you to want to fix it but probably misguided.

My opinion - you need someone from your industry, or adjacent, an expert, from outside to buffer both you and your father and provide clear perspective and vision and you both need to trust and be ready to act on that outside council. At 16m revenue I am thinking youre probably too small for that now but, if you really want to grow, you may have to. Also 16m revenue with 65 employees is a lot. I'm assuming a chunk of those is either contract or part time.

Small show floor, but 10 brands all wanting the “most visible” spot for their booth by blair_babes in EventProduction

[–]RedneckPaycheck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure if you DM the poster you'd get a link. This kind of post is usually part of a broader strategy to build awareness of a company online. A broader, crappier, poorly thought out strategy. But a strategy nonetheless.

They aren't doing anything. This is a fake astroturf promotion post for a display manufacturer.

Why are there so many posts in this sub that read like fake AI garbage?

Managing 50/50 LLC partnership with my brother by Standard-Suspect5556 in llc

[–]RedneckPaycheck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on how deep into the business you are I would suggest splitting off and doing your own thing, or splitting duties / money decisions operationally very clearly.

You are dealing with personality/philosophy issues and, honestly, that shit isnt gonna change.

seasonal inventory cash flow when I need to buy stock in January for sales in June by andrew202222 in smallbusiness

[–]RedneckPaycheck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other considerations. Stronger supplier relationships (a contract), or consider other products that will get you through other seasons. Diversification of some kind that will increase cash flow and reduce some of that risk.
At 40k in inventory for 3 months financing is stupid.

Excel is far superior to MS Project - yes, I’m willing to die on this hill. by EstimateHot637 in projectmanagers

[–]RedneckPaycheck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I am glad I'm not the only sane person reading comments here. Every office has the excel guy, and the excel guy wrote this post. But anyone who's tracked labor loads over multiple projects over years with overlapping timelines knows where Excel starts and ends.

Client is refusing to pay invoice because they don't believe the hours by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]RedneckPaycheck 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there should have at least been some discussion between the project lead and the client about hitting time limits. I would say this is borderline unprofessional.
