WrightJnr Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Interesting point. As I work for one of the big tech companies, I was surprised to hear that our retention isn’t great.Perfect. So no more guessing then. Why didn’t you tell us. The floor is yours. Hit us with the facts.
RocknRolla Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 I was recalling articles I read on the internet, which should have been true...
PhilipV Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Think he’s leaving out the point he was there as a patient and not a potential employee.Probably not. It's a veterinary clinic.
SwissVan Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 exactly, let's get it back onto one of the other 5 thread hijacks now! https://www.strava.com/activities/2413255396 the kid can actually run!A 17:04 5km at altitude puts him in contention for a very decent half marathon time. assuming his feet can last the distance17 min for 5k..... 3:25 per kmThat equates to about a 62 minute 21k Sounds like he needs to calibrate his running watch or change his sport focus to running
BigDL Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Perfect. So no more guessing then. Why didn’t you tell us. The floor is yours. Hit us with the facts. Never hidden the fact that I work for a tech company, and I completely understand the perceptions that people have. Retention is a challenge in tech, largely because of the shortage of skills, especially in software, where highly skilled people are in great demand and thus are regularly offered more and more money to move, especially somewhere like Silicon Valley, with a tech startup on every corner. However, outside of these highly specialised roles, retention is pretty good in the industry, as is output. I cannot share any detail, but the company that I work for has an incredible level of retention in manufacturing, admin, retail and product development. In fact far superior to any company that I have ever had experience with. I would also argue that we have a higher expectation from our employees than any company I have ever had experience of. Please note that I am not saying that everybody dances into work with a big smile every day and sits around singing khumbaya together. Rather, our employees have medical, education, health, fitness, metal, travel etc benefits and are respected as individuals at every level. The original contention that I was arguing was your statement that trying to make people happy results in the "workforce not being up to scratch".

It was hard to find work. I got contracts at various places but nothing was permanent. I am now completely out of the industry and so withdrawn, I work in a different market completely. At least it pays the bills. Would of loved to still be in the software and security game
BigDL Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 An interesting article - Not sure what it says or how those numbers compare, but I would also suspect that they are influenced by the age of the company: https://www.businessinsider.com/average-employee-tenure-retention-at-top-tech-companies-2018-4?r=US&IR=T#the-newly-built-salesforce-tower-is-the-tallest-thing-in-san-francisco-and-the-companys-employees-stay-for-33-years-on-average-11

Patchelicious Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Retention in the large tech firms are also low because of extremely competitive and high demand working environments. Also the skills are easily interchangeable. You can pick up and drop a good Dev from area to another and they can be effective within days. This makes moving much easier. Google has free lunches, but if you don’t work 60 hour weeks, the guy next to you gets promoted and not you.
Patchelicious Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 To get this back on track.... If there is a record that this guy could break its The Wolds Longest Masturbation record. Currently held by Masanobu Soto from Japan, he made his country proud by masturbating for 9 hours and 58 minutes. He ‘beat’ the previous world record – which was also his – by 28 minutes.
Odinson Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Does the record require a certain strokes per minute? I feel sorry for the Guiness rep that had to validate that record.
Odinson Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 And what is considered a full stroke?Is a minimum shaft grip tightness enforced?

Seeing as the strokes are shorter as well. [emoji2960]
