59 Jaw-Dropping Industry Secrets Professionals Swear You’ll Never Discover—Until Now
If you donate your body to science it is mostly likely going to be cut up and sold in pieces to surgical education centers or research labs. Your arm, foot, knee, and even head could end up being sent to four different places throughout the country.
If you’re a fussy patient yes, we’re talking about you in the back office. And the doctors are usually on our side.
Your therapist probably really does care about you, but the clinic doesn’t. At all. Your therapist is being pushed for “billable hours” and quick (and because it’s quick, sloppy) diagnosis. If your therapist had their way, they would take a lot more time with you and be way more careful, but the system is brutal.
The exam boards in the UK are inadequate and ruin kid’s futures with their incompetence.
I am a teacher and examiner for exam boards. The standards for marking exams get lower every year. You used to do a day for face to face training, now you are lucky if you get a 10 minute video. The system is made to protect the exam board, rather than make sure each student is given a fair grade.
If you request a remark, the mark will only change if the remark brings the response to a higher level on the mark scheme. So an examiner might award 4 marks on a remark but it will come as unchanged because it stays within a level on the mark scheme. Bare in mind some students miss out on their uni places by 1 mark. Remarks per paper cost at least £50.
Examiners are ‘moderated’ or ‘seeded’ which means a small sample of their marks are checked against the chief examiner. For some NEA subjects, if the examiner is seen to be out an algorithm will change all of their marks (without another human looking at all the responses).
Basically, if you have rich parents or go to a private school, you can probably pay to get the incompetent marking corrected. If you are poor or go to a state school, you probably have to live with it.
All aircraft have cracks in many components; they’re just not critical enough to warrant changing the part yet.
All of the carefully arranged cookie and snack platters at corporate meetings and media pitch events are usually manhandled by interns with unwashed hands, sometimes with them eating a thing or two and licking their fingers while still arranging your food with their now-spitty hands.
Also, it’s become common practice for assistants/interns to use and then return disposable tablecloths and other party supplies to stores, so don’t expect any of those that come in an unsealed or resealable package to be clean.
Childcare workers act right around parents but do not care about your kids. They will yell at, ridicule, man-handle, humiliate and isolate your child for acting like a child who is still learning.
Discount cards like good Rx sell all of your information, give you a discount, and charge the pharmacy for the privilege. Go to an independent pharmacy, Sam’s , or Costco and probably get a better price without losing your privacy.
A majority of psychotherapists are largely garbage providers that do the bare minimum regarding therapy and continuing education and with the rise of online masters programs the pool is getting worse each year. Twenty years ago during my training we had numerous folks wash out/ fail as it became apparent in classes, role plays, and presentations they didn’t have a clue. Now you pay those same folks to grunt and nod and give you a handout for homework before they cut and paste your last session note into this weeks documentation.
In regard to quality control, good enough is good enough. Even when it comes to automotive, aerospace, and safety products. We don’t waste product that is produced out of specification. We sprinkle it normal product shipments a little at a time to try and get past the customers quality inspectors. 95% of the time they never know we sent them bad product. The bottom line is production pays the bills and quality always costs money so production always wins.
The sheer quantity of oil and gas wasted by seagoing tankers during normal operations.
The owners of your grandma’s nursing home don’t care about your grandma. They only care about the money she brings in. And they’ll keep that place as understaffed as possible to make more money.
In car sales, the service/parts department profit pays for every expense. All sales had to do is break even. There’s a reason the sales department is small and service takes up the whole building.
As a recently retired ex-academic – and as news stories have been reporting a lot of late – most recently appointed academics (starting 5+ years ago) got their job through plagiarism and, increasingly, DEI box-checking. Academia is now rotten to the core.
Many times the “professionals” who you hire to work on your home rely on instructions from counter staff at supply houses who know barely anything about your specific project as they manage tens of thousands of skus. Once had a guy ask me for a “generic furnace motor” because “they’re all the same, right?”
This device was going to have natural gas flowing through it inside of someone’s home. It’s terrifying.
