Seriously, that seems like what this poster is actually promoting. Whoever made it/put it up in the office wasn’t working particularly intelligent that day
No no you see, that was a smart manager, who wants to promote a can do attitude and later justify why his actions were justified, even though the public prosecutor had just had the office raided.
Management not providing their employees with adequate tools to do their job while also keeping them in the dark about the greater picture of their company. Ignoring their employee's problems and then blaming those who try to solve it on their own.
Or, you know, someone who doesn't immediately resort to complaining or accusing new people of ill-intent to employ intimidation... There is a big overlap of the two groups, isn't there?
Smart people save a lot of work, in any era and civilization. Another example of ingenuity to transport of objects of many tons with only a handful of people.
Holly shot! Reminds me of a recirculating linear bearing, not what they were testing and not what they're suggesting the Egyptians did but neat parallel.
Even if what he did was legit, then cutting the cube into a cylinder would be a smarter choice. Maybe not even a full cylinder, an octagon or something like that would have roll fine and saved so much work.
The real solution is to cut a square cube than the square needed by the end of travel, cut the large cube into a sphere and then transport it then cut the sphere into the cube with the right size.
It all makes sense, then. The logical conclusion of this business attitude is enshittification. Cut corners to bolster quantity at the sacrifice of quality. Then they lay people off because they don't actually care about higher quantity either, just minimizing labor costs.
No. Its one of those stupid motivational posters that doesn't make sense.
If he wanted to work smart sphere guy could have simply made a cylinder. It would have taken him less time to carve and transportation would have been just as easy, if not easier than the sphere because the ground pressure is spread over a larger surface area.
He's also lost about 48% of the original product.
If he had made a cylinder, he'd only have lost 21% of the original product.
If it doesn't matter how much got delivered, then just trim a corner off and deliver that. He could have put it in his pocket and simply walked over.
Hah, love all the suits. This poster is for management. They see how smart they imagine themselves being the one whittling the sphere out of a block.
But what we don’t see is the frontline employees that queried the block, loaded it, shipped it, and did all the work of carving it. But the suit takes credit for it.
