Does the tactidad diaper purse have molle strips

I could actually imagine the utility of snapping on a pre set up medicine compartment or whatever

For some reason I want to backlash the backlash

bowen

Ugh.

Siemens is the best company we use them for a lot of stuff here.

I have two separate projects with two different subcontractors where, in both cases, I can't actually speak directly with the technical person working on my project. I have to put my questions and requests through a non-technical "project manager" who just forwards on the question verbatim most of the time.

With one of those subcontractors, the project manager at least forwards the response back over to me (with identifying information stripped out.) The other one waits until our next meeting and reads the response aloud.

Gee, this is a good use of everybody's time.

I love knowing that PM makes probably twice what I do

My favorite is when I outsource a project and to get a few hours of a technician's time, I have to talk to a salesperson who forwards it to a project manager who sends it to a dispatcher who gets in contact with the tech, and the response back is like "the only time the tech has open is between 7am and 10am two weeks from Thursday"

and I'm like

Do you just run your whole business around one Cisco guy and everybody else is just a bureaucrat hanging on to him?

I'm on the other side of this conversation, I'm currently in the tech role

the tech is overcommitted on other projects and your account turns out to be the one at the end of the queue. that is something to bring up with the salesperson. nobody else in the chain can do anything about it.

Yes, I know. It's obvious. The tech is overcommitted. But the salesperson can't or won't do anything either. He isn't in charge of hiring techs or retention.

It's the same basic disease that afflicts universities and hospitals. They'd rather hire more administrators and officer workers instead of more of the teaching/medical/technical people who actually add value.

client manager is normally in charge of the overall manhours that the PM is allowed to allocate to the department for the dispatcher to fling around

that number doesn't increase unless client management says so, because everyone else is a cost center. if the dispatcher doesn't have people, all s/he can do is keep giving longer and longer deadlines. if the PM isn't allowed to deprio other projects, then all the dispatcher can do is also keep giving longer and longer deadlines. the feedback loop only closes if the client goes screaming to client management.

this is something my clients don't seem to get either. "why can't you do X" "I cannot do X. Maybe you should escalate this." "but I don't want to escalate this. Just do X." "Uh... No?"

Doodmann

Ugh.

I've worked in places with as many PMs as techs which is dumb.

@credeiki :biggrin: I used to post a similar one when we were still waiting for bab

(That's not Coyote Brown tho that's FDE with the OD Green Multicam base you fkn scrubs)

When I used to PUBG competitive there was actually a bit of discussion where I thought about picking that up and doing a charity stream wearing bab in that while I played

zepherin

Ugh.

I don’t care about ugh I just wanted to be purple

SummaryJudgment

Ugh.

What I should do is find if someone makes a MOLLE attachable carrier rig and just pick up an actual plate carrier like I want

Doodmann

Ugh.

You'd be making so much money as a tacticoool pubg dad streamer.

Chanus

haps just pmed me to correct my german spelling in another thread

he's like a ninja

Abdhyius

Ugh.

the tacticad purse, if it has molle, is something I could almost buy if I had a kid

it's really nice to not only have a billion pockets, but be able to customize where those pockets go

zepherin

Ugh.

The going through the non technical PM is likely a contract requirement.

The person on the other side is either a Govt person or a different contractor. If it is a govt person there is a contract provision that forbids identifying them on cleared contracts.

Abdhyius

Ugh.

although I feel like a baby carrier being a whole harness isn't using the system enough

really it should just be an attachment for regular plate carrier vests

sometimes you need to carry STANAG magazines on your person, sometimes you need to carry a baby or three

adaptibility is the name of the game

ronya

Ugh.

it's the very essence of low-effort PM and HR where everything is a reactive function on the size of the client account and how likely it is to walk out in a huff - where PMs and department projections of their resource needs are all irrelevant because nothing is allocated until the client demand is already confirmed and signed in blood. there is never any buffer.

which... makes sense, I suppose, for outsourced/vendor work where clients hint that they want something done as a way to avoid having to talk to their own resource depts for budget approval. this happens way too often.

For some reason I want to backlash the backlash

I am always backlashing the backlash to this particular issue
1. Because I actually like the aesthetic of things that have over-the-top marketing to men
2. Because I think often even though the marketing is ridiculous, men’s stuff in traditionally female spaces is nice, like yeah not only women clean or care for babies or eat yogurts or whatever, and it’s cool for men to do that too
3. Because for all that men can feel comfortable using female-coded shit, it’s also ok not to. Your preferences for presentation and accessorizing are up to you!
4. sneering about ‘fragile masculinity’ is sorta dickish cause, frankly, male self-expression it seems like a pretty narrow and fraught path to navigate. Plus, personally, it makes me shrivel up a bit cause you know how hard it is to try to do some sort of masculine presentation/expression when you aren’t actually male? Talk about fragile—I have to care a lot about what sort of image is projected by various behaviors, fashions, etc, cause otherwise no one perceives me the way I want to be perceived.

Ugh.

Honestly /k/ has some great threads on stuff like that and they've largely told /pol/ to fuck off back to their containment board

Literally every govt contract I’ve worked on had the govt trying to get something out of scope for free.
