Chopped Liver Posted June 17, 2014 Share #3 Posted June 17, 2014 depends on the people, I guess. If we're talking lazy assed liberal wannabe burger flippers from the NW corner, then yes....easily. If you're talking good old rednecks who bust their ass from sunup to sundown, then I'd say I do the work of one of them....since I am one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted June 17, 2014 RG is trying to figure out if sucking AND blowing at sales constitutes "doing the work of two people" Nah, I was wondering how many of us were part of that automation (of a sort) that put others out of work. I didn't, I am in sales. I can sell as much as two people sometimes, but that won't prevent them from hiring others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Posted June 17, 2014 Share #10 Posted June 17, 2014 Oh come on, two people couldn't come close to replacing me. Every other division of this company has entire departments to do what I do and they still do a fraction of the work I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted June 17, 2014 Share #30 Posted June 17, 2014 Yes. Which I also did for the job before this one. It's getting a bit wearying, but doing the best I can for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted June 17, 2014 Share #31 Posted June 17, 2014 Do you? The 27K laid off was a cost cutting move designed to help keep HP going. However, if HP had been managed better in the past decade (Carly Fiorina and every CEO since), that might not have been necessary. HP has bungled a lot of things in a relatively short time, and has become a short-term profit seeker rather than a long-term innovative company like it was under Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. Fiorina, Hurd, Apotheker, and Whitman have not improved HP. It was a brilliant company of engineers with an ethical philosophy taken over by beancounters. HP hurt itself by buying Compaq, EDS, and Palm and managing to fail with all three, then slashing a huge portion of those companies' employees to stay afloat. And while its servers are still pretty decent, their printers have declined greatly due to cost-cutting tactics. They have also gained the ire ov businesses by forcing service contracts to download BIOS updates for servers and switches (which risks unpatched security holes and prompts companies to seek other vendors that don't do this, like Dell). HP brougt itself to the point where it had to do the cost-cutting. A better, less bungling board of directors (and CEOs who weren't highly self-centered might have prevented the need in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
