bickster Posted February 28, 2018 Moderator Share Posted February 28, 2018 People who phone me / email me at work for advice in my area of expertise, don't like the answer because it'll mean more grief for them, so they then email the boss asking him all the same questions. Thankfully, the boss and I are pretty much on the same wavelength 90% of the time He agreed with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted February 28, 2018 Moderator Share Posted February 28, 2018 Oh and the same person emailed me over 4 other issues before that, all questions relating to a course we were both on the day before. So tempted to send a completely unprofessional email along the lines of... do you know how much money we wasted sending you on that course yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted February 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2018 When people refer to Keith Lemon as though he's a real person. He's just an (annoying) character. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google will give you about 4 different answers , one even has Beijing at the top In addition to being Delta's hub (for the time being anyway see: NRA) it's also where every piece of Fed-Ex mail on the east coast goes. Fed-ex's model is, collect all the mail and packages and fly it all to one central location. Sort it there and fly it out for delivery the next day. It was proposed by a student in a business class at Yale. Supposedly he got a C for the paper but it became the model for the company! Fed-ex basically flys in and out of Atlanta all night which gives the airport a crazy amount of airplanes landing and taking off in 24 hours.

HanoiVillan Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Check out these office-gym-finance-positivity bros!: WHAT IS IT LIKE TO WORK HERE? PLEDGE Every employee who joins takes a pledge to celebrate the health conscious while they work here and for the rest of their life. GYM AS FLOOR PLAN We don't have a pool table. Instead we have a gym in the middle of our office. Not in a side room, not in a corner, it is right in the middle of the entire office. Our conference room is made up of 4 treadmill desks that face each other so you can do a walking meeting while seeing a presentation, rain or shine. NO SUGAR We don't have sugar, candy bars, soda (diet or otherwise) in our office. If you bring some it will get thrown away. COHESIVE HUDDLE We do a daily standup where we don't discuss why something is late. Instead we each spend 10 seconds on what we actually shipped today. Again, we believe you can get more from people from focusing on those who take responsibility than those who don't. FEATS OF STRENGTH We end most standups with a feats of strengths competition. Our current record wall sit time is 5 minutes. WORK HARD, PLAY HARD We work a lot of hours since this is a startup. However, we all leave at 5pm/6pm so we can go to the gym, eat dinner at a healthy hour, and see our kids before they goto sleep. After 8pm/9pm we get back on the computer and do conference calls if needed. ON TOP OF OUR GAME We share health articles and health stats and think it is fun not annoying. Our monthly company outings are always new exercises we haven't all tried before. Recent activities include: Zumba, Bubble Soccer, Crossfit, Bikram Yoga, Rock Climbing, etc. WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR? Three qualities embodied by every member of our team: HEALTH CONSCIOUSNESS A personal or family health story that tells us that you really care about this mission. If you read the current team's bios you will see that each of us has been touched by a personal or family health challenge. Most of us used this challenge to change our health destiny and improve our health. We look for that same level of mission alignment in candidates we meet. SUCCESS A track record of success. We believe winners have always won. All candidates will be asked to submit a 'brag sheet' as part of our interview process. This is a listing of every accomplishment you've ever had. If you won the spelling bee in the 2nd grade we want to know about it, etc. We will look at your brag sheet even more than your resume. We believe too many people have only had success by association. Their resumes say they went to Stanford, worked at Google, Uber, etc but it is unclear what they really contributed or accomplished at these places. We want the people who have success by action not just association. OPTIMISM There is little need for a devil's advocates at a startup. The whole rest of the world is fighting against you. The inside of a startup should be a bastion of hope and optimism. If you are kind of a curmudgeon this is probably not the place for you. https://www.healthiq.com/careers 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 A lot of people I know or know of have passed away way before their time because of alcohol. Every time this happens everyone is upset and talks about what a tragedy it is and how alcohol ruins lives etc. Then those same people are getting pissed up and sending pint pictures every weekend on whatsapp as if it's sometime to be proud of. We've all done it (including me). But it just donesnt make sense. Being sober for over a month is really starting to changing my view of alcohol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
