Is a “special poobah” an “arrant douchebag” ?

Editor — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:59:45 +0000

A/ by Easter Bunny/ Deming believed that. (W. Edwards Deming).

A sign might appear on a cubicle saying "If you cancel the pre-agreed 2-year period of DT&E of software and simulators you won't finish the project any faster".

Supplier reps and customer reps might occasionally be in the integration lab. So supplier reps might be heard discussing a problem with their in-house "configuration control". They say they have a rogue "configuration control" person who recruits temporary staff and then sacks them after a month when they issue incorrect "configuration control" data. The discussions is meant to be overheard by the customer rep who hopefully has enough clout to remedy things. But won't the rogue "configuration control" person have likely already sullied the customer rep's reputation ?

Customer reps meet at supplier's headquarters. Chief of testing at supplier's headquarters formerly worked at customer's organization and is trusted by the customer's reps. The chief of testing says "It'll never work", referring to the method of set-to-work and test being proposed, supposedly by supplier and/or customer. The chief of testing has no purchase over what is happening, Nor do the customer reps. There is some catbert or dogbert pulling the strings.

Customer reps meet at supplier's headquarters. Supplier's headquarters is well stocked with trade magazines. A trade magazine (say January 1993) relates how USA Navy and a supplier are sueing and counter-sueing for $ 500 - $1000 million because customer agreed to a variation in a schedule, or asked the supplier to go ahead with something known to be unfeasible, thereby voiding the contract. Curiously, customer's headquarter's doesn't seem to be well stocked with this sort of information - customer's organization for whatever reason seems to have been allowed to run down.

Customer rep and supplier rep happen to talk on phone. (Original phone call about something unrelated). Supplier rep mentions how good it would be if customer reps would come to supplier's headquarters, as everyone is seeking the best way ahead.

Customer rep is quizzed by supplier rep about one of the customer people, "Person X". Implication that "Person X" is an imbecile in a key position.

A/ by Jojo207
The main problem seems to be the existence, well, not existence, but "existence on the project", of the project poobah. So it's gonna be somewhat difficult to bring that fact to the project poobah's attention.

A/ by whistleb... / Won't some projects posses a "special poobah" whose existence on the project is causing a giant problem, AND who targets other people claiming that the other person's existence on the project is causing a problem ?

Is HR 45 the first major step of this administration toward disarmament of US citizens?

Do YA conservatives’ investment portfolios never include anything besides the 30 Dow stocks?

Editor — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:14:36 +0000

How else is it possible to explain conservative fixation on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, except to conclude that out of the 10,000 or so equities available for purchase worldwide, and the thousands upon thousands of bonds and bond funds, not to mention real estate investments, commodity investments, swaps, puts, calls, other options, other derivatives, futures, venture capital, and the myriad other investments that exist in the world….

….conservatives have zeroed in on the Dow as the only relevant measure of the health of the investor economy?

If the conservatives are the economic geniuses they claim to be, and if they’re so certain that Obama is “destroying the economy” because they just “know” the DJIA is going to fall (as said repeatedly on questions here), then why aren’t they investing in, for example:

Rydex Dow Inverse Strategy 2x C mutual fund shares (symbol: RYCZX), which would guarantee them a return twice the size of any DECREASE in the Dow Jones Industrial Average?

Could it be that the real reason the conservative geniuses never even consider other investments besides the DJIA is that they really don’t know anything about other investments, and that everything they know comes from the headlines on TV news?
