I am about sixteen months into working for the biggest company I have been with. They are a multi-billion dollar company but are privately held so that is rather interesting. I am really glad to not be working for a publicly traded company more. I got really tired of the quarterly report nonsense. What I mean is far too often we had to ship unfinished products just so they could be invoiced in that quarter and then we were sent along afterwards to make them work.

Bloody hell, a week and you have actually been able to do some work, it takes longer than that to navigate HRs onboarding process and up to 6 weeks to get a computer where I work.

Well I should add a caveat to it, I was only able to do some stuff as the company I now work for has only recently bought the company who's office I am in so they still have there intranet and things also the boss apparently raised He double hockey sticks to get me a PC and a Desk (Chairs now come seperate as we found...), I still have to go to the Corpate Head Office for my Corpate Induction, but I am now 50% done (I would have completed the online induction, but my PC didn't have the ability to connect to get the Java update(?! a useful update!) to allow me to run it...really the only task I have done is reading the documentation that had gone through approval and sign off and spotting two mistakes (the same byte being assigned two different values in the send function, the circuit diagram had a short) so good times(?)

Do breast implant surgeons charge a flat fee?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

No. Their fees are inflated.
|
|
|
|

Depends, some do volume business.
|
|
|
|

I'm sure they charge a robust fee!
(nipped that one in the bud, didn't I!)
