    What a Washing Machine Can Teach You About Getting the Most Out of Your Advertising Investment
    If you could cram all of your dirty laundry in the washer at once, wouldn't it make more sense than putting in the recommended load? After all, if it saves time and money, why not? It's simple: not only might you blow up the washer, but you become painfully aware that most of the "clean" laundry is still

    8. Refer to the full time employees as ‘Permies’ and make derogatory comments about their abilities. They have better access to the boss than you have – and will use it.

    Lead Gathering at Trade Shows
    The primary reason to exhibit in a trade show is to generate sales leads or contacts for your company. So why is it that the majority of trade show exhibitors say that lead gathering and follow up is the biggest area of improvement needed? The reasons can vary greatly depending on the organizations; however some good up-front p
    There are a lot of fools around who will do many of these things automatically without this advice. Perhaps this advice may make them think twice.

    1. Produce work that constantly falls over in Systems Testing and in Production.

    2. When the manager gives his weekly/monthly talk to the department, make sarcastic comments to those nearest to you that the management can’t hear (or so you think).

    3. Under pressure, put a couple of changes into Production untested. After all the back-ups are run, the program falls over again, and there is no time for a further back-up. Systems will be up late in the morning, and the big boss will be telling your boss to make sure it doesn’t happen again. He will not be very pleased with you to say the least.

    4. Use your lunchtimes (and work times) to look at porn on the net. The Internet is not very secure and Technical Support is normally the biggest rumormongers and gossipmongers in the building.

    5. Keep checking your share prices on the Internet or over the phone and tell your fellow workers things like, “I made five grand today”.

    6. At the Christmas Party make a play for your boss’s wife, challenge him to a fight when he complains, or better yet, say he is no good at his job in front of his wife and those who work for him. He won’t get rid of you right away. That would be too obvious. He’ll wait for just enough time to elapse so that it doesn’t seem that he’s dumping you for that reason. Certainly, don’t expect a contract renewal if you are a contractor.

    7. Go behind your boss’s back to your big boss. Rat your boss off for incompetence, giving examples. The Big Cheese now has to decide whether your boss goes or you go – and you’re the hot favorite. The Big Chief won’t like employing someone who ‘does the dirty’ on his bosses. After all he might be next.

    The Opportunity of Private Labeling
    I was having breakfast at a local restaurant the other day when I noticed on the table there was a bottle of hot sauce with the restaurant’s name on it. I was impressed because I knew this was no chain – it is just a small independent restaurant who was taking advantage of private labeling. It is one of a growing number of sma

    9. Have a go at one of the senior users on your project (preferably the Project Sponsor) saying that he or she knows nothing about IT and would be much better to leave the project to you and your colleagues. It is better to do it while the IT manager is there, too.

    10. Bring disks or CD’s into work that you don’t bother to check for viruses. Eventually you will bring one in that will infect everything. Better yet, if the CD doing the infecting is a porn CD.

    I’ve seen all of these things happen. I wonder if our readers have seen them happen too – or can add fresh ones to the list.
