Was thinking about moderators, and how users always have plenty of opinions about what moderators are doing wrong, but seems like you see less commentary from the moderators themselves about what it takes to do a good job.
Which is probably true across any situation where there’s a smaller number of leaders and a larger number of people in other roles.
Having experienced it, what does it take to lead a project, be a supervisor/boss, board member, pastor, dungeon master, legislator, etc?
Document every single thing that causes you to change your work plan and who is responsible for said change. Getting the job done is secondary to making sure anything you do can be billed to someone, and you better not do anything that helps the job get done if you can’t bill for it.
Construction is fun.
If you had to estimate, what is the breakdown between time spent working and time spent documenting billable activity?
Depends how much fuckery is going on. If other trades are lying about their progress (which happens a lot) then sometimes the whole day is spent documenting instead of working. If everything goes smoothly though it’s probably 5-10 minutes of documenting per hour of work.
As a facilities engineer of a newly constructed building…you’re god damn right, and it’s a good thing too, because I’m the guy who discovers that the reason one of our toilets exploded is because 14 months ago during construction someone went “lefty-tighty” and I wanna know who it was goddamnit.
Gladly pay hundreds of thousands now to save millions later
I have to ask about your username. What is that about?
I like the cold.
