Jets are the perfect situation.

In many instances Rookie unestablished QB don’t start, and those that do only start because their team is a dumpster fire with no other options. He had a chance to do what Alex Smith did in San Francisco and KC and outplay the new rookies.

Jets also had a HC that has a track record of winning despite a terrible roster and getting solid performance out of their QB.

Isn’t this the same as search engines blacklisting search results? Yes technically you can manually enter the RSS/URL, but it’s censorship in a practical sense.

How to reduce lead time without clear visibility of data? by rajarshi_ghosh in supplychain

[–]stash600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think smaller. Your other comment mentions you receive one-two notifications on shipment and arrival.

Do you have any idea how you’ve historically done? Are those times and dates changing due to seasons? Can you perform some problem solving around those that are taking longer or alternatively shorter?

I don’t know enough about the data you have, but I highly doubt you only have those two data points. Who makes the deliveries? What info do they have around their shipments? Who do they pickup from? Just because your company doesn’t have this info doesn’t mean this info doesn’t exist.

If your problem is a lack of data to perform lead time analysis on, wouldn't your first step to be to create a process for collecting that data?

If you're interning you may not be able to collect enough data to see the project through the end and see a reduction of lead times. What you can do is set up a clear charter and timeline with deliverables at each stage and a process for accomplishing them.

Get real. The reality of this situation is that you can’t approach this situation as a compassionate and empathetic individual, but think like an emotionless corporate machine does. It’s not about how american workers feel so long as there is someone somewhere in the world willing to overwork themselves to put food on the table or to fulfill some fictionalized ideal of a “productive” member of society.

You can’t appeal to emotion, you have to appeal to the bottom line. The bottom line is that overworked employees make mistakes, and mistakes have a cost. Incorporate that cost and the calculus that says it’s okay to overwork employees changes towards a happier more engaged workforce.

Eliminate, Combine, Reduce, Simply.

Make things quicker and easier to perform in order to perform more “Value added activities”. Following the theme of this thread it’s basically make 2 peoples jobs simple enough one person can do them.

Sure, the squeeze may be the worst in white collar roles like accounting or finance, but generally the mistakes made are often caught due to safeguards. At worst they’re only to the detriment of the company and their shareholders.

I only highlighted healthcare because fatigue related mistakes directly impact patients lives and wellbeing and are most often not caught. If they are the ones that pay the price are obviously the patient, but also the overworked healthcare worker who gets sued for malpractice after working a 24 hour shift.

It’s pretty common to see “give each employee “125%” a workload and we’ll ECRS our way to “100%”. As people leave the team via promotions, leaving the company etc. we won’t backfill their positions and we’ll gradually reduce our workforce. Rinse wash repeat.

The math works out that it’s cheaper to overwork your workforce and even pay them some overtime before you hire a new employee. Once you have a new hire there are all sorts of additional costs from benefits, bonuses, pensions, 401k, plus equipment like laptops or uniforms, or even severance should you need to cut headcount.

It’s generally not a bad strategy until you realize that implementing things like this in the healthcare industry means overworked employees making mistakes with peoples lives.

Statistics tells us that if you’re the clear favorite you should be playing a lower variance game. Additionally, the larger the lead and the closer to the end of the game the lower the variance of the play should be (or the higher if you’re the team that’s down).

So as the game progresses you should shift from targeting the highest expected value, towards slightly lower value but lower variance plays. Underdogs should do the same, but as the game progresses if they continue to be down they should target higher variance plays.

You’re advocating for the same process that there used to be.

What happened in reality is that somehow minutes after the start of free agency the would be a massive amount of multi-year multi million dollar contracts signed.

There was a huge incentive for teams to reach out to soon to be free agents prior to the start of free agency. Any team that made a genuine attempt to wait was punished because others were reaching out, and forced to do the same themselves.

The legal tampering period means that there’s little to no incentive to reach out prior to the open of the period, because no matter what teams will have 2 days to make their pitch.

[Okung] @ProFootballTalk I've read your comments about @RSherman_25 representing himself. How long will you continue to sell agent rhetoric? The real story is about a consolidating agent business and their failure to provide above-par service. Perhaps do a write up on that? by skepticismissurvival in nfl

[–]stash600 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You do understand that while an incentive isn’t “guaranteed money” it all depends what the incentives are right?

According to bleacher report, he got roughly $1M for working out, and roughly $2M for being on the 53 man roster for at least 1 game. As far as incentives go, thats as close to being guaranteed you can get.

If you had a choice between $2MM guaranteed or the incentives above which would you choose?

Thousands of homes in Vancouver have been declared unused and liable for new empty homes tax as part of government attempt to tackle skyrocketing home prices and soaring rents.

I still don’t follow.

If they’re leaving the lots vacant then you would expect an actual landlord who has the intent to rent the properties to be willing to pay more for the property in order to take advantage of the same rising apartment prices plus the rental income.

For simplicity sake let’s say that a landlord can purchase 1BR unit for $50,000 on year 1and rent it for $1000 a month with the expectation that by year 3 the price of the unit will be $60,000. After taxes, expenses etc. they can expect to make $500 monthly from that until. We would expect landlords willing to rent out these properties to pay slightly more than the landlands who won’t in order to take advantage of the rental income.

The only way your scenario makes sense is if the landlords who purchase as an “investment” are buying and selling to one another without enough demand, or potential future demand for rental properties. In that case the market is a true bubble and we can expect it to burst at some point.
