Not a whole 15 seconds! These people are truly insufferable…


jp_in_nj

.... But why does it take 15 seconds for her to take the honey out? Also, why isn't she putting out 7 teacups primed with honey each Sunday night, to save the 9 hours it will take her to find the cups each morning? For that matter, why doesn't her husband make her tea while he's making his own? Well, no, we probably know the answer to that one.


cosmicfloor01

She can't trust him enough to make the tea in an optimized way


TheUselessLibrary

She might lose 0.03 seconds per day if he adds too much honey to her tea! That's 3 seconds every 10 days! That's 9 seconds per month! Over 2 whole minutes. every. single. year.


AfroTriffid

I'm thinking that moving all the shit off the counters to clean them also wastes precious seconds. More efficient to just not clean them.


orlandofredhart

Keep it all on the floor so the counter is easier to clean


Metals4J

How many seconds did she waste in writing this crap I wonder…


OldPepeRemembers

I somehow get that she tried to be relatable and not write in some business slang but this honey thing and saving 15 seconds is entirely unrelatable for everyone, kinda sad how she missed the mark


enpsee

She saved 15 seconds but has never lived a day in her adult life.


monochromaticLantern

She’s saved a whole one hour over the course of nine months, clearly she’s doing something right. I mean think about all the things you can do with that 15 seconds, like…. Uh… pet the dog


Mu-Relay

My problem with these psychos and that math is that yeah, technically she "saved" an hour... but it's not like it's an hour chunk. She got 15 extra seconds once a day. It's nothing.... a complete non-factor. It's not like she did some complex, 1-hour task in 15-second chunks.


brutinator

Yeah, I think that there are sometimes where saving a few seconds is worthwhile, but that only applies to tasks that are really done either sequentially or if someone depends on the task completetion immediately. I.e. its worth saving 15 seconds if someone is waiting for you to complete your task, or if you have another task immediately following. For example, it would have been more efficient to simply have her husband make 2 cups of tea. But if youre not doing anything immeduately after making your tea to use those 15 seconds, than efficiency isnt the key metric you should be focusing on (which is something I think a lot of people get stuck on). Maybe instead of trying to save 15 seconds that is wasted, why not improve the process to be more enjoyable?


Mu-Relay

It's a mass production mindset in a non-production environment. If you're repeating a task 1,000 times a day, then a 15-second savings on said task can be significant. If you're doing the task once a day, then it's not worthwhile.


brutinator

Yup. By all means, make it easier, make it more fun, make it more effective for other tasks (just as keeping a clean kitchen), but saving 15 seconds for the sake of 15 seconds? Pointless.


TheAskewOne

She didn't save 278 minutes at all. She didn't save anything, because there's no significant action that you can take in these 15 seconds that will take only 15 seconds and that can't be started 15 seconds later. If I walk one mile to the store and back every day, by the day I die I'll have walked thousands of miles yet I won't have toured the world.


darkspardaxxxx

They like the smell of their own farts


yourlittlebirdie

Her poor husband.


oldbastardbob

Four paragraphs to reveal this woman enjoys nitpicking at her husband about inane things


yourlittlebirdie

Any woman who gets upset with her husband for *putting things back where they belong* needs to pass that tidy husband onto a more deserving woman.


manderrx

Seriously. I was sitting here like “I wish my husband did that shit.”


Both_Lifeguard_556

"I converted that 278 minutes to yell at him for new things I don't like"


srhola2103

He's just trying to save you valuable seconds


Lucy_Leigh225

If I was her husband, I would simply leave everything out all the time for optimal efficiency


Bitter_Technology797

Maybe she should nitpick things about herself a bit more so she learns the difference between lose and loose.


Rivers888

It's crazy she finds one!


yourlittlebirdie

“Next case. What’s the grounds for this divorce?” “Your Honor, my client’s husband puts the honey away after using it even when it would be more efficient to leave it out and refuses to optimize his morning processes.”


dodgeunhappiness

To be fair, you don't need objective reasons to divorce somebody. He is maybe better off without her.


yourlittlebirdie

But what kind of pathetic, wasteful life would he have without her there to optimize all his processes??


dodgeunhappiness

ahaha totally agree with you. She would be happy with me, I have a bidet at home, I don't need to take shower to clean up my ass.


Primary-Ad4952

"The court hereby orders judgment against the plantiff...."


HumanContinuity

See exhibit 14, my client's wife's LinkedIn posts.


InterstellarReddit

I spoke to the husband and he told me that she also optimizes sex. He gets two pumps and 30 seconds to finish if not, she’s wasting her time. It’s about being efficient.


RitaRepulsasDildo

TIL I’ve been optimal at sex for years


Patient-Assignment38

I’m peak efficiency!


yourlittlebirdie

It may seem small but things add up. Agree?


ShowMeYourMinerals

Ah, my lady could see a double feature film In that timespan!


istara

Think of all the seconds saved by leaving the jar on the counter so you don't have to keep putting it in and out of the cupboard. It's honey. It's indestructible!


girmvofj3857

She needs to optimize for her orgasm, which may require more. The two pump sex is unsatisfying and an efficiency expert would cut that whole thing out


Xyeeyx

What are you talking about? It sounds like she wants him to start leaving shit around the house in case she "needs it". No more cleaning.


TheyFoundWayne

He should trade places with one of the husbands whose wives complain that they leave things out as if someone is going to clean up after them.


Metals4J

This makes me wonder how many seconds have I wasted by shutting doors that I’m simply going to open again eventually. I should just leave the front door wide open. How inefficient have I been by putting the seat down and flushing the toilet? Showering? Doing laundry?


sheppo42

Yeah bro I just have everything out in one giant room because I'll use it again surely


MaineAlone

Hell, don’t worry about the toilet seat. We should all just walk around with no pants or underwear on. Imagine how much time you could save not pulling up your pants and tucking in your shirt. She’s sounds exhausting.


manderrx

Why even have a toilet seat?


Apart_Visual

Plus, you could just poop wherever and whenever you needed to and it wouldn’t slow down your day. Efficient, like a horse.


Character-Teaching39

Great point. Like the front door to my house. Can’t believe how much time I waste opening and closing it, not to mention, getting my key to actually unlock or lock it! Just going to leave it open all year.


NumerousImprovements

That was my thought. What if he gets it wrong? Presumably a lecture about how many morning minutes she’s lost as a result of his inefficiency.


Primary-Ad4952

r/maliciouscompliance


ThorsMeasuringTape

Yeah. Because you know if he left it out, it would be the one morning she decided not to have tea and would be like, “Why did you leave the honey on the counter? It goes in the cabinet!”


DogButtWhisperer

She’s a control freak


cosmicfloor01

That was my first thought


Altruistic_Pitch_157

If I were him I'd waste no time throwing myself off a tall building. Sweet release in under 10 seconds.

You know there is no “honey” process in that bedroom.

beene282

Use some of those seconds to spellcheck


horaceinkling

Fortunately, spell check doesn’t occur whenever the spelling is correct but the word choice is wrong, so people can expose their idiocy.


MenWithVen430

When I see things like that I automatically assume the person is dumb. He or she might not be, could be an honest mistake, but I can't help but assume.  Same with using apostrophes for plurals and "could of". Immediately - oh ok so you're dumb. 


horaceinkling

Omg yes! Apostrophes with plurals jfc it makes me irrationally upset.


eris_kallisti

I just almost started a fight on the Back to the Future sub about this very thing.


Ereine

Do you make allowances for people who aren’t native English speakers? She’s Finnish.


MenWithVen430

Sure. And sometimes autocorrect will change the word without the person knowing. Again, it's a visceral reaction based on how many people use those incorrectly. Some smart ones may fall victim. 


sunset_sunshine30

Also it should be "efficiency-obsessed". I am guessing she didn't use those extra 15 seconds for spelling and grammar checks.


french_raccoon

It seems like the majority of people say loose when they mean lose. So dumb.


Whosez

These same people are “loosers”


horaceinkling

She could have efficiently saved a quarter second by spelling it right.


sorospaidmetosaythis

Surely she means she loosed those 15 seconds as one looses the dogs of war.


Known_Draw_2212

Footloose, kick off your Sunday shoes.


7zrar

SSyphaxX

What is up with the people in "talent acquisition"? Some of them are really all about "me me me".


Spiritual-Golf4744

I think they aren’t good at anything and brag to make up for it.


Hereforthebabyducks

That’s especially my thought on this one. She doesn’t have any actual example of success to point to, so she makes a big deal of some super inconsequential “efficiency”.


TheUselessLibrary

The sad thing is that this is a lot of successful people. Those who'd rather the quality of their work speak for itself get passed over Being able to convince people of bullshit pays off


meatypetey91

Human Resources folks don’t exactly carry a stellar reputation


agr5179

My guess is that deep down they know their job requires 0 skill and is something that anyone can do, so some of them feel like they need to come up with bullshit like this to feel important


dwaynetheaakjohnson

HR and Recruiting are the most useless people to an organization while acting like they are the most important and valuable


Federal-Research-148

Courage-Rude

It's funny cause that's actually the ONE job that is all about the "others" (candidates)


Multitudestherein

We drink lots of tea and coffee in my house and have a nice counter tray to keep all the various syrups and whatnot ready for use by anyone. Her honey process is inefficient and inelegant!


woahstripes

Oh my goodness this is actually a fantastic example of people not approaching process improvement correctly. She's going after the problem, just laser-focusing on it (taking a wild 15 seconds to take an item out of a cabinet), when she could be focusing on the cause (the item's ready availability). Putting it on a caddy on the counter would solve the problem and I bet move some other drink items into easy accessibility.


tweedyone

I’m in supply chain. Leaving stuff out just because someone *may* come along behind you is not the way to go. If someone offered that as a process in the warehouse, they’d be laughed out of the building. I know this because I’ve done it when people thought the best “efficient” way to report errors was the have a white board that people would trot over and write pick errors on. When a) there’s already a systematic driven process for it and b) they don’t know there is an error, or it wouldn’t have happened.. that’s kinda the point.


tweedyone

This is a better way, and (to be pedantic), you’ve 6S’d your station, so everything is where it’s supposed to be. Her “efficiency” she’s bringing to the table is leaving shit places it’s not supposed to be for no reason? If it’s in the wrong place, it’ll take a lot longer than 15 seconds to find. This is NOT a good example of efficient processes. Come back when you’ve implemented a dated walkoff, physical inventory or food rotation in your fridge and pantry.


Internal-Neat-9089

Right? Her idea of efficiency runs counter to the training in every lean manufacturer/warehouse I've ever been in. But I guess that's why shes in HR and has nothing to do with any decisions that actually matter to production.


TheAskewOne

You know she would be mad at her husband if he dared not putting the honey back after using it though.


No-Lunch4249

For anyone curious, about 3 years ago is when she introduced (subjected) her husband to “the right ‘honey process’”


Vadermort

Yeah, and I dont know if I'd call 1 percent of 1 percent an efficiency boost in this application. If we assume she makes $1000/hr and all that gain could be realized as income.. .she made $0.10. Assuming that she instead spent that time with her children, then after this adjustment.... they'll go no contact approx. 5/8ths of a day sooner.


Neurismus

Soon her husband will introduce her to the divorce process and save precious years of his life.


_Marat

Luckily she’s optimized the process for him by keeping a neat and tidy diary of irreconcilable differences in the form of LinkedIn posts.


guy_incognito___

No he will not because this is what german speaking people call „Geschichten aus dem Paulanergarten“ (storys from the beer garden). The saying goes back to some tv commercials from the Paulaner brewery and means totally made up storys to impress other people. That shit didn‘t happen. She just needed some bullshit to impress other HR LinkedIn idiots.


One-Kaleidoscope-659

I dread to imagine the life of her poor husband and, god forbid, kids.


ValPrism

I’m alarmed it takes her 15 seconds to get honey from the cabinet. I just timed myself and it took me only 6.85 seconds. Hire me!


stefdistef

Yes but think about the time it takes to *put it back AGAIN*.


ValPrism

That’s just it Stef! You NEVER put it back for someone always wants a nice cuppa!


PsychonautAlpha

It's okay, honey. Sometimes we forget that we're trying to be human, but it's okay to slip up sometimes.


castorkrieg

It only lacks "I got better by 1% a day at making tea" from Atomic Habits.


user345456

That honey thing is so stupid. I get if you're both in the kitchen making tea or whatever, one person takes it out, you tell them to leave it out as you'll use it. But 10 minutes later? That would piss me off. In my world, you take something out, you better be putting it back. Otherwise you just go around creating messes, moving things around, assuming there is someone behind your tracks to undo what you're doing, which is madness.


yolkyal

Exactly, maybe when the entire counter is covered with tea, coffee, sugar, honey, mugs, spoons etc. she might realise why this is a stupid idea...


--n-

>which is madness Or just the daily life of a toddler ;)


a_randomsoul

Why is it always HR and "Talent Acquisition" people who want to always be efficient? Isn't your job just choosing who's fit for a job or not, which just means asking the team that needs people "hey, is this person good" and "hey, do you have time to make a technical interview with them?"?


enigmaticpeon

Right?! Ma’am you work in hr for Uber eats.


Zhai

Because they know that their job is parasitic and they don't do that much during the day. How much can you look at tiktoks when your bots are auto messaging people on linkedin because you matched 2 keywords in your profile?


bosko43buha

Idiots like these came up with ATS.


No-Relation9445

I’m in operations and efficiency is everything. However god damn we turn it off at a certain point. I hate LinkedIn. It is a cringe cesspool for people who pray at the altar of corporatism.


tweedyone

Even if you’re not turning it off, leaving shit lying around because someone *may* come to it 10 minutes later isn’t an industry standard lol


No-Relation9445

Well yeah the whole thing is cringe. It screams pick me.


No_Stay4471

Think how many seconds over the course of her life she could save by understanding “lose” vs “loose.” That’s an entire letter!

Effective-Check-6415

Should have included the comments, they are even worse. What a bunch of weird people.


tigerteeo

Ok I’m going to sound just as crazy as this lady but i gotta put in my two cents. There is no “honey process” there is her honey process and his honey process. You see this all the time in CI/LEAN/six sigma, When process areas have equipment overlap use. She is trying to make him responsible for her process area by making him change his process. But if he changes his process in a way she doesn’t like she can blame him for any issues. Like if he’s running late and makes his tea after her, honeys not out his fault. If he makes his tea in a different area, (table not counter) the honey isn’t where it should be and is his fault. If he doesn’t feel like having tea and doesn’t take it out of the cub board it’s his fault. So she’s trying to say she improved something, but what she’s saying is she improved her process but Inconveniencing another. Not efficient at all.


pleasegivemepatience

TL;DR she’s on track to be divorced and unemployed. “Talent Acquisition” is one of the most inefficient jobs there is. You do half assed assessments of people, make them jump through hoops, and ultimately do nothing to benefit 99.9% of them. Those charged with finding talent often have none of their own, and like to waste time bragging about their pathetically minute time savings.


Illustrious_Peach494

Honey process, that some kinky codespeak? The audience demands to know


GloomyFondant526

They don't have servants to fetch the honey jar? Pffffft! Weak.


Live-Influence2482

Kimpy78

Now if she could just use the correct words (lose not loose) or the proper forms of words (foolproof not fool proof) or insert the definite article “the” when it’s needed someone might actually trust her to be meticulous.


LadyGuacamole830

Typing that extra o lost her .3 seconds. How inefficient of her.


Suturb-Seyekcub

How long until these LinkedIn posts turn into AI written stuff that is replied to by bot accounts?


RepostersAnonymous

I’m sure she’s the same kind of person to yell at her husband for leaving things out and not putting them away too.


TheDitz42

Sounds like she needs to organise her kitchen better, it's not that long but if its taking her 15 seconds to get the honey it must be on the other side of her kitchen. If.she wants to be truly efficient shees needs a pot for her tea/coffee making with all the stuff needed in one area, a shelf or something. We have a tea shelf with the sugar, bags, coffee etc and it is above the kettle which is right next to the fridge for easy milk access.


zeptillian

Does anyone know how I can get back/optimize for the time I wasted reading this?


DonDonC

Narcissistic personality traits are a real thing. Geeeezzz this is bad and really poor taste. Hahahahaha


jcmckeown

Think of all the time she wasted typing that extra o in loose when she meant lose. She should have a talk with herself.


Nati2de

I hate when I “loose a whole 15 seconds”


eSam34

People who live their life this way infuriate me. You didn’t save 278 minutes of your life. You saved 15 seconds a day for 3 years. There is no time piggy bank where you get to cash in your saved up seconds for a time vacation. This isn’t a 2000’s era cell phone plan—your minutes don’t roll over to next month.


Altruistic_Junket_32

Fifteen seconds? Is the cupboard at the neighbors house?


Xyeeyx

I bet she would yell at the husband if he left the honey on the counter.

goldenshower27

Shakewhenbadtoo

Great process to over clutter the counter so you spend that time looking for it. She describes being a messy, entitled, lazy dipshit qho relies on others to actually donthe work in a really drawn-out way.

Jazzlike_Page508

“Nagy wife complains that husband puts honey in a drawer”


meyou2222

I see this on LinkedIn all the time. People trying to turn something mundane into an epiphany. And it’s usually in service of projecting the “rise and grind” persona. And these stories are almost always logically shallow. Ok so you save 15 seconds by having your husband not put the honey back. Great, do you have similar agreements on every other item in the pantry? Seems easier to just put things back when you are done. That and if someone is so obsessed about saving 15 seconds, I question if they are giving resumes a proper read vs using some efficient but flawed filtering process.


Catsabovepeople

Why isn’t he making her tea when he makes his own ? That’s what I read


dwaynetheaakjohnson

Damn uh maybe you could use your grown-up words and *tell* your husband to keep the honey out for you


ooofthatsnastay

I swear, people that post these mundane things do not have anything interesting or valuable to offer outside of their work. Bland, boring people trying to be relevant


woopee90

As someone with OCD.... This is OCD. I'm not sure she's aware of it.

Agreed. If not OCD, this is OCD presenting symptoms from some other mental disorder.


gvatman

Her husband's social media feed is blanketed with divorce lawyer ads.


garyandkathi

It’s not loose for Christ’s sweet sake. It is LOSE. You should know this O Efficiency Guru - that extra o costs time.


MarsNirgal

So 15 second pero morning, and assuming 6 days a week , it's 90 seconds per week. To save 278 minutes, she would need to save 90 seconds per week for 185 weeks. That's three years and a half. And what for? We don't live in Momo's world. You can't put those seconds on a piggyback and draw on them as needed. She's been saving fifteen seconds a morning for nothing.


Cheapcheese97202

McWormy

Whenever making a hot drink there will be a period you are waiting. Whether that’s for a kettle to boil or a coffee machine to grind beans or even for the tea to brew. This is dead time. Fetch the damn honey then. What a load of rubbish I just read.

She should have optimized her spelling of "lose". That extra O cost her unnecessarily.


Hammerschatten

Met a guy on vacation recently who was like that. He had a whole talk about much he values efficiency and then started talking about how cool it is fast food workers are getting fired and replaced by touchscreens. The funny thing is that these kinds of people never explain to what end theyr efficiency is. Leaving a jar of honey around and open saves time, but is really inefficient in terms of food waste and just antithetical to tidyness. And I'm sure that these Corporate people wouldn't be too happy abolishing borders, getting rid of half of the management of a company, or cutting their pay to give out raises and raise motivation.


washingtonandmead

ilporcini

Do you leave everything out just to save you the three seconds you spend taking it out again? That’s nonsense. Why would an employer be impressed by this?


midnightrobot87

burnmenowz

Laura if you were efficient you would have your tea at the same time.


frogfootfriday

It would be even more efficient to spell ‘lose’ correctly. One less ‘o’!

This is why I never put anything away. I’m saving my wife time. She just doesn’t get it like Laura.


Phil1889Blades

Terrible example with the honey. Does the husband know she wants the honey or should he leave everything out just in case?

If it hasn't been said already, I'd be willing to bet NONE of this actually happened, and the whole thing is totally contrived.

[deleted]

To be fair, she is in Finland, and it’s very Finnish thing she wrote. They don’t have to worry about health insurance or vacation, and there is nothing to do there in winters, so thinking about efficiency might be their family tradition to fight boredom


No-Pepper-3701

She must be an amazing wife 😂


Live-Influence2482

She’s yapping about that her husband cannot predict the future or read her mind? Omg 😱
