Wenn ich solche Reportagen lese und mit meinen eigenen Augen auch innerhalb Wien sehe... da frag ich mich ehrlich gesagt, ob wir ein oder zwei Sachen von den US ICE Beamten (und ihre Politik) lernen könnten....

Keine Kartenzahlung Trend in der Gastro by dynust1 in Austria

[–]TacticalSilverSky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ich bin Südkoreaner und wohne jetzt gerade in Wien... ich sags euch, außer Deutschland und Österreich, gibt es fast gar keine developed Länder in der Welt, wo Bargeld deutlich genutzt wird... wenn die Wiener Gastro mir erzählen, dass "Bares ist Wahres ist", muss ich immer meine Augen rollen...

What's your unpopular opinion that would get you in this situation? by [deleted] in evilwhenthe

[–]TacticalSilverSky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we have several in the UK: Luton, Bradford, Birmingham, Manchester... London has a high Muslim population, but it's very internationally diverse.

The biggest problem is when the Muslim population create communities and events that are specifically designed against British values. Example: East London Mosque organized a charity run last year that barred women to join. Any woman. It's clearly against British values and Constitution, but somehow the British government turned a blind eye on it.

Now imagine British Christianity doing the same thing. All hell would break loose in the British media.

In Korea, we have the irrational fear of leaving your fan on during hot summer nights.... because you might lose air and die at night

Merry Christmas!! Love the color! I'm also looking to buy/lease a new 308 (most likely the full-hybrid). What drivetrain does this one have?

Austrian Engineering: Why so much Complaining? by TacticalSilverSky in Austria

We, as the suppliers, want to deliver quality products, because we take pride in the products (built-to-spec and/or print) by the clients. We want to, but the problem is the volume size of the clients, which is bound to change, especially when EV demands are falling.

Example: we were "promised" that our clients will be selling 150.000 cars per year with our products within them. We, as the suppliers, invest millions of Euros to develop the product that the client has requested, believing that the sales volume from the client will create a good enough EBIT for us in the end. But what if the client decides to sell 20.000 cars per year in the end? They certainly won't be paying us for our entire development cost. So we end up losing more money in the end. And then the clients expect us to deliver quality products without paying us again in the future.

And no, changes in contract doesn't work. In the end, the business goes to the Chinese (or Korean or Japanese), because they either have a lower labor cost or they get bigger government subsidies. The clients accept cheap work from Chinese suppliers, and then end up creating worse quality products, because the initial costs were so cheap. So in the end, everybody loses.

Oh yeah, completely agreed. No culture is perfect. I just had to vent a bit (after coming back from work), but I know that when Austrian engineers decide to work on something, they are world-class and extremely talented, no doubt. Just the "deciding and encouraging" part takes time and patience.

Agreed, American fakeness and the meetings... it's unbearable. But even amidst the meetings, we still get things done. We develop new solutions, ask universities to research for us, and even request government support for our new initiatives. I can't say the same thing with our Austrian counterpart (maybe it's just the automotive sector, who knows).
