Cha! Cha! 628 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 so what isn't a physical activity? best telekenisis person for a year? best daydreamer? Stock picking apparently. You conjure that shit out of thin air. Link to post Share on other sites
iZuma 764 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 but you press the "buy" button with your fingers! or order the buy with your mouth! Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,756 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 But the success is determined by outside factors, which is against the spirit of what I was going for. I'm happy to adjust something if you guys don't think it works. This is important people. Really important. Maybe stock picking works, but in my original thoughts, it didn't. Either way, it gave us something to talk about. CONTENT PRODUCTION! (It's a skill) Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 If you could forward in time 500 years, would you? You can't come back either. Just boom, 2513. I think I would. Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't your original thoughts that were the problem, it was your physical ability to type them. If you could forward in time 500 years, would you? You can't come back either. Just boom, 2513.

JubilantLankyLad 1,957 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm really surprised this caused such a commotion. I thought brv's stipulation made perfect sense, but now that I read his clarifications, I'm less sure. I assumed he meant you had to spend the year actually spending the time doing something, creating something, making something real/physical of some value, and couldn't just "create" the money. So stock picking is out, best lottery number picker is out, best at finding money lying on the street is out, etc. Writing books, painting, sexing the ladies, playing basketball (puke).. all considered in. Makes perfect sense to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dawson Leery 12 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 IE - why don't you quit your job, write a program (either in excel or an actual software program) that automates the work at your firm? License it back to them for $5k / month (suggestion) plus some consulting / implementation fees. However much you can save them in headcount per month, charge them 1/2 or 1/3 of that amount so they're guaranteed a 2:1 or 3:1 ROI. Whoever owns your P&L (your AVP? his boss?) should be interested in the savings to your group. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I feel like they would have just given me the promotion, or offered to bump up my salary to keep me in this group, if they really wanted me to stay. I'm not saying you're wrong, it's just, the reward I got for cutting a $30k/year position was a $50 gift card. you're right, no one ever got ahead in life by being complacent and comfortable. I know I gotta leave eventually, but this plan of yours is so ballsy and risky. Link to post Share on other sites
