Is that 7.4 kW ac or dc? As in what is your inverter rated to? My A/c is so bad because it is an old ducted system that cools the whole house and it’s a big house. It really sucks the juice. But I do export quite a bit just the tariff has plummeted. 7.48kw Panels 8Kw Inverter rating In NSW, you're ...

Unless you have three phase (and I doubt it) you probably have 5 kWac (so maybe 6.6 kWdc) installed, so for a normal house in summer you would have excess. I have 10 kWac but my a/c is ridiculous and I have a pool heat pump as well which runs between 9am and 5pm, so I use what I generate typically!...

:roll: So, we can see what kind of manager you are then! :blush: :lol: To be honest I don’t even understand what being a manager means. People either know how to do the job or don’t. What are you managing? Expectations mostly..... And keeping the bonus/payrise down enough to earn yours.

Like you, I’m not convinced an MBA degree helps a manager better manage people at all.

What training should one ask for in your opinion?

Whatever they want - if they are not empowered enough to request it, you guessed it, they shouldn't be anywhere near a managers position

Pat the Ex Mat

Those that enjoy being managers shouldn’t be allowed to be in management. Since leaving the army, I don’t think I’ve worked for more than a handful that were competent. And why shouldn’t they be terrible? There is little to no training. Have you not had to work with/under the avalanche of sh i t MB...

That's quite a privileged POV and doesn't reflect what it's like for a lot of workers. I do the same as you but am cognisant that I'm not like most. I agree that there is a degree of privilege however I do think a lot of people don't even consider trying this. Most worry about losing their job over...

Pat the Ex Mat

And yet there is still a need for 40+ hour weeks...... That's probably more a function of middle and upper management being in the >45 age bracket, thus not having a fúcking clue about anything other than their own experiences of the office in their early to mid 20s. laughs in 49..... But I've alwa...

Pat the Ex Mat

Yes. I end up changing jobs every few years and ensure early on that the dynamic doesn't include responding outside of work hours. Once you set early precedents of answering emails out of hours it becomes a slippery slope. That's quite a privileged POV and doesn't reflect what it's like for a lot o...
