Unlocking the Hidden Truths: 70 Industry Secrets That Will Revolutionize Your Perspective on Work Forever
I work in local TV.
Folks would be shocked at just how little some on air folk care about their community. Like, they hold an active disdain for the public.
Also, how often an entire story gets changed live on the air simply because an Anchor doesn’t want to follow the script. They will leave out context, or just a certain name or word, and it 100% changes the story.
Software is terrible not because of bad developers or bad testing. It’s the CEOs who make business decisions to placate stockholders by releasing too soon and/or ignoring known bugs.
I work in construction supply. A lot of people often opt for the cheaper or budget options thinking the difference in quality doesn’t really make a difference. “A brick is a brick, they’re all the same” “cement is cement, it’ll do the job” as well as for other items like steel and timber. In actual fact most of the time the quality difference is really big and you only start notice after a while and long after you’ve already installed the item. The only item I’ve seen people really consider taking the better option is with paint.
I my country the standard thicknesses for steel and tubing used to be 1.6mm and 2.0mm. Chinese suppliers flooded the market with low quality and underspecked goods forcing local manufacturers to have to have to cut the quality in order to maintain their competitiveness and as a result you know get 1.0mm and 1.2mm tubing being sold in most smaller stores.
They’ve managed to get around it through marketing. Instead of advertising the steel with the thickness they now label it as Heavy duty and light duty. Heavy duty and light duty can be anything, I can have a 0.9mm tube and a 1.0mm tube and legally market the 1.0mm as heavy duty as technically it is a heavier duty than the 0.9mm.
There are stores I go to that now started selling 22.5N cement to contractors that are using to build houses and foundation walls.
Most of the welded mesh fencing that’s sold in smaller stores is so weak that you can literally grab one of the wire strands and pull the fence apart by hand.
Multiple times I’ve had to return goods to suppliers as they would supply underspecked rebar. I’ve received Rebar that’s marked as 8mm but that measure at 6.8mm-7.2mm and Rebar is critical to the building process.
I always advise clients to go for the better option but at the end of the day you have to give the customer what they ask for I guess.
The housekeeping industry. Housekeepers are under such tight time restraints (30 min per room) and given like 15 rooms to clean in 8 hrs that they are forced to cut corners. Never trust the coffee pot, towels, bedding (the duvet is never changed only if there’s a strain on it or it smells really bad or something), don’t trust the glasses, and don’t walk around barefoot. I’ve seen housekeepers using the toilet brush to clean the bathtub. And touching the clean towers after touching the toilet. Unfortunately there’s not enough time to really clean so we give the illusion of a clean room. Management only cares that the metal is shiny with no water spots, there’s no hair anywhere, and everything is in its place and looks organized. But really it’s gross!
Free Wifi is a trap. Its data mining. They dont put it in as a favour to you, they’re collecting i formation and corporations are using it. I dont know how it works but the amount of information they can glean from you is… Frightening. I was at a seminar on guest wifi where the company selling the access points was telling us about all the information gathering they are capable of… To them it was a selling point. To me it was a good reason never to log on to free wifi again.
This insanely expensive beauty and hair products you like to buy. You know the ones that go for 1-200 for a medium sized jars of cream. It cost roughly 3 dollars to make that stuff.
Working in wealth management. People need to vet who they trust with their money more. Most wealth advisors are old as hell and can’t open an excel spreadsheet.
I work in education. Teachers aren’t making your kids gay. They are just gay. We just treat them like humans with care and respect.
Shocking, eh?
How much personal information people willingly broadcast without realizing it. You don’t need fancy dark web hacks or breach databases. 90% of a person’s digital footprint, routine, and history can be fully mapped just by stitching together completely public, harmless-looking breadcrumbs.
Every courthouse in America has at least one judge that regularly violates the law and people’s rights every single day, and there is nothing that can be done about it. Even speaking about it openly can have extreme consequences.
If you are ever on a long term care insurance plan to receive assistance from a home health aide, DME, etc. There are two facts:
1. Case managers are actively being told to give you the least amount of hours of assistance per week as possible.
