Hello!? No response yet is this project dead or something it has been 30 minutes since the last question. This is very important to a major customer project of ours please get on this.

It has come to our attention that an unlicensed tool has been used in the workplace. Please be advised that the use of unlicensed software is strictly prohibited, as it may pose significant legal, security, and compliance risks to the company. Effective immediately, any further use of this tool must cease. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination, in accordance with company…

When will this tool have SOC compliance and SSO support?

The devs on this must be sleeping. F for not paying attention to your users’ needs.

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.

The "improve its usefulness" comments are totally inline with suits (execs) interacting with smellies (software) and make this even better.

I like it! I recently got quite interested into different ways of looking at the "seasonality" of the year, financial quarters are definitely also a way to look at it.

I really like looking at the way the sun defines stuff, I made a similar website for how long until the next solstice etc. https://solarcalendar.earth/

Our corpo year starts May 1. 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. Also, we appreciate if you could sign a retroactive NDA with our legal team ASAP.

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)

I was expecting something much dumber than this. I don't mean the idea or the execution. I mean what was being executed. If someone tells me they're going to tell the time "in corporate", I'm expecting inefficiency masquerading as management, inscrutable abbreviations, divisional infighting, at least one personality profile tool, teambuilding, and an astonishing use of passive voice. I was genuinely excited to see how that would translate to a clock.

I would understand someone asking if the week starts on Sunday or Monday, but I honest to God did not know some people start their week on Saturday.

Just an off by one error on OPs part, I guess

Can confirm. I got the weekend confused.

It's been... almost 20 years since I looked at that. I believe that it had a slightly floating start date. NetApp fiscal quarters are: Quarter Three: October 28, 2024 through January 24, 2025 Quarter Four: January 28, 2025 through April 25, 2025 Quarter One: April 28, 2025 through July 25, 2025 Quarter Two: July 27, 2024 through October 23, 2025 And from Wayback (adjusted to fit same ordering) Quarter Three: October…

It looks like they had a 14-week quarter from April 27, 2020 to July 31, 2020. Given that there's only one 14-week quarter in the data set (which is about what you'd expect) I can't figure out what the rule is, but oh well. Apparently financial analysts are (or were) surprised when that extra week leads to corresponding changes for other metrics: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01654...

Leap week
