Working in a corporation, via Dilbert



Outsouring

1st side note: frankly, I think RCS&RDS has the same approach to their technical support, which is at the same time awful, annoying and useless since you have a 90% chance (according to my experience with them) to end up talking to a stupid insolent employee; no discrimination: it could be female or male just as well.

2nd side note: thank God I finally got their telephone service canceled. Bad news: my ISP got acquired by the RCS&RDS Internet division...


The inner works of the birth of a great new product. OK, maybe it doesn't seem so great at the moment, but I bet that both the marketing and advertising departments will prove it be a great product, right?


Call me yesterday! - great line, wonderful. It can become a wide spread quote on the Internet.




Updates:

This big bad crisis got them all freaked out, I guess. One has multiple jobs and the boss hides like a kid.
Side note: the RCS&RDS technical support is more confusing than anything.

And I think nerd rhymes with bird, although I'm not sure.

Executive stakeholders? Fax 'em!

Despre/Pentru corporatii si corporatisti



[Post published by Liviu, on Liviu's [Personal] Blog]

Pentru cei care lucreaza in corporatii in Romania - da, este un job bun, dar am auzit de cateva ori despre cazuri de stres + overwork + underpay + tratament prost etc. ceea ce nu mi se pare fair. => un sfat care rezuma foarte bine pozitia/solutia pe care am exprimat-o in cateva conversatii particulare in ultimii ani (din fericire, erau friends care au avut rabdarea sa ma asculte, pentru ca atunci cand intru-n detalii/explicatii/analize/justificari tind sa devin plictisitor; hey, macar spun bine ce spun...)

Super citat: "I cannot be fired. Slaves have to be sold." - se potriveste macar un pic, macar pentru cateva cazuri, corect?

Ca sa trecem la o atitudine funny pentru acest post:
Hai c-a fost funny!
