Nothing more corporate / enterprise than deciding the year starts at any point other than January 1st :) (yeah I know all about the fiscal year, which I also find hilarious)
This is fun. Seems like you got several comments here trying to "improve" it's "usefulness". I like it as is, a piece of art on how corporate speak is unrealistically obtuse.
> ... each quarter is ~13 weeks ... When I worked at Network Appliance (Q1 earnings call is August 27th), they used a strict 4-4-5 calendar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4–4–5_calendar This meant that it wasn't "about" 13 weeks for each quarter, the quarter was defined as 13 weeks (91 days).
I cannot read these fucking comments, they create some kind of anxiety about the fact that I thought to be the only one having to listen to this crap at work and now I see that the world is simply doomed.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah some publicly traded companies have a different 'beginning of the year' but good luck with finding and making one for each (even with some elaborate on-the-fly scripting). I think the whole effort was to make a funny landing page that would prompt visitors to check the bread-maker objectivetrackr.
It's reasonably easy to get that information from their SEC filings (for public companies), which are all in similar formats, if not exactly the same format. It wouldn't be as hard as you're implying.
It is the "camera in my face 8h" that would get A LOT of attention by member state gov/labour ministry and definitely the EDPS would have a party on their corpses.
