noobdoomguy8658 ( @noobdoomguy8658@feddit.de ) English22•6 months agoIt’s a team-building exercise that the management came up with. They might let some people go if it goes well, too!
jol ( @jol@discuss.tchncs.de ) 20•6 months agoHuh.
Bene7rddso ( @Bene7rddso@feddit.de ) 1•6 months agoDo you have a link?
jol ( @jol@discuss.tchncs.de ) 2•6 months agoSorry not any longer. It’s gone.
FiskFisk33 ( @FiskFisk33@startrek.website ) 48•6 months agoDon’t work hard, cut corners.

li10 ( @li10@lemmy.ml ) 42•6 months agoThis is unrealistic, the client would never say thank you.
In my experience they’d carry on complaining, even after an apology and saying it’ll be put right.
Jorgelino ( @Jorgelino@lemmy.ml ) 41•6 months agoAlso, even if they didn’t need to specifically be cubes, he still left part of the object behind.
Does it not matter how much he brings to the end?
Is the requirement for success here solely his speed?
Why not ditch the cube altogether?
Or is it a sum of both speed and “cube mass”?
If so, how much can he shave off and still compensate by being fast?
Could you just cut a small piece of it and sprint to the end?
Is there a minimum amount you need to bring?
So many questions…
cordlesslamp ( @cordlesslamp@lemmy.today ) 25•6 months agoEven if what he did was legit, then cutting the cube into a cylinder would be a smarter choice. Maybe not even a full cylinder, an octagon or something like that would have roll fine and saved so much work.
averyminya ( @averyminya@beehaw.org ) 11•6 months agoThe real solution is to cut a square cube than the square needed by the end of travel, cut the large cube into a sphere and then transport it then cut the sphere into the cube with the right size.
Or use wheels.
MeetInPotatoes ( @MeetInPotatoes@lemmy.ml ) English1•6 months agoAlso, the smartest response to the situation in the picture would be to work together.

m0darn ( @m0darn@lemmy.ca ) 3•6 months agoHolly shot! Reminds me of a recirculating linear bearing, not what they were testing and not what they’re suggesting the Egyptians did but neat parallel.
Zerush ( @Zerush@lemmy.ml ) 2•6 months agoSmart people save a lot of work, in any era and civilization. Another example of ingenuity to transport of objects of many tons with only a handful of people.

Honytawk ( @Honytawk@lemmy.zip ) 12•6 months agoIf the point of the work was to deliver cubes, then it wouldn’t be working smart.
But since the original premise was that they were working smart, that means it doesn’t matter what shape the objects are delivered in.
davel [he/him] ( @davel@lemmy.ml ) English11•6 months agoMove fast and break things.
Darkassassin07 ( @Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca ) English8•6 months agoThe sphere looks taller than the cubes.
Perhaps it’s a mouldable material like clay to be re-shaped, or hard but to be cut down to a cube on-site.
You can see the pile of chips behind him from making the sphere.
EmergMemeHologram ( @EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website ) 6•6 months agoAlso if you push the front edge will dig into the ground, the force vector you apply has a downward component.
If the employees pulled it would lift the front edge and avoid the cubes getting stuck on obstacles.
Floey ( @Floey@lemm.ee ) 1•6 months agoShould be 1015 cubes.
MeetInPotatoes ( @MeetInPotatoes@lemmy.ml ) English1•6 months agoShould be “work intelligently” as well.
ChickenBoo ( @Stubborn9867@lemmy.jnks.xyz ) 1•6 months agoThey’re also leaving almost half the volume in bits on the ground.
Volume of a sphere of diameter 1 = ~0.52 Volume of a cube of 1 unit = 1 Volume of a cylinder = ~0.79
So not only are they not doing the required job. They’re wasting twice as much time and material than needed to make the job easier…
And you could still build a pyramid with cylinders…
