to really amp it to corpo-speak, you should use the Severance styling, they've done a great job really taking out the personality from any of their design. feels very dystopian + peak corporate!

#32Should add how many working hours are left in the given quarter.

#33Unsure if this is either meant to be funny and cringe or a cry for help. I can see it being either.
There is something awful about corpogarbage speak.

#34every week I search at least once “which week is it” — kudos :)
Uhm? The site doesn't show what week it is..? It's currently week 9 of 2025, but the site shows W7 of Q1. (Maybe that's what you meant? Searching for the current week in the quarter?)

Please add an offset functionality to your free solution immediately, as it has now become a core component of our operation, or we will be forced to take legal action.

#37You know what is really wild and caused a few bugs in corporate reporting apps? Every 5 or 6 years you need to account for a 14 week quarter. 13 * 7 is 364 so four 13 week quarters will not add up to a calendar year.

Of course - no doubt there are many schemes! I have found this to be by far the most common
I can't remember the last time I worked at a corporation that used the actual Gregorian calendar. Most of the times it's some shadow-Greg calendar that's slightly out of phase. E.g., I think my 2025Q1 starts on 1 Mar? I've never been entirely sure. Intel used some "work week" concept that I never figured out the rules for, in the entire time I worked there, beyond that it wasn't ISO weeks. The spirit of the idea is n…

#39What I would add to this (perhaps below the fold): 1. The current time in a few major cities around the world (NYC, SFO, London, CET, Mumbai and Beijing come to mind), with an indication of where it's working day (which is not 9 to 5 everywhere). Particular emphasis should be put on timezones that just started and ended daylight saving (EU and US aren't synchronized on this). 2. Upcoming holidays in major world count…
I think you’ve missed the point. This isn’t actually meant to be useful. It’s commentary on the inane nature of corporate milestones.
