2018 Forum Mock: Discussion Thread

I'm currently a little over halfway done with handling detailed audits of each SoF. Thus far, none of the user-updated entries have been error-free. The most crucial ones I've encountered have been the several pages that have accidentally edited out the formula cells in the "Final Calculation" table on the left side of each page. Please remember to never edit those numbers yourself as they do self-populate based on the other formulas, i.e. cuts, trades, draft allocation, etc. Editing them to a single number will keep those fields at that number. Additionally, multiple Trade Details sections weren't filled out properly or were left blank, and the same goes for the pick numbers of the current draft selections. The roster totals have also been mostly inaccurate. Always count your draft picks toward your totals. It would be wise to keep a count of total players on your depth chart entry for reference. Please mind your rounding as well, i.e. .25 rounds up to .5 and .75 rounds up to 1.0, while .249 and .749 inversely round down to 0 and .5. Please include your pick numbers in the trade details of both the Trade thread and the SoF.

I've doubled checked every number of every team starting from the Arizona Cardinals to the Los Angeles Rams. I will continue down the line after a break. However, I will not be auditing the Depth Chart thread. This is a painstaking process that will not be a standard practice, so please stay on top of your updates and responsibilities.

I was wondering my cap space dropped 2 stars and then I saw the error. I totally did my starting numbers on a 180 star cap despite 178 being right there lol. Clearly, my attention span isn't all there this year. Good catch.

Thank you. It was a minor difference. I'm sorry that it had to be a negative change. There's also a chance that I may have made human errors during the audits. I do work with numbers for my work, but I'm certainly not impervious to making errors myself, so I hope that I made the other changes correctly.

Good question. I work for an educational software company that offers online curriculum to be used mainly in K-8 classrooms. I don't have a single title. I look over and record all of incoming payments, I manage the entirety of the shipping operation, including warehouse storage and inventory counts, hire and oversee employees during special shipping projects, I process purchase orders, fill-out vendor documents, and I'm technically a member of our technical support team. I'm also technically the company's official trucker. I wear a decent amount of hats.

That stuff's all well and good, but are you also the company's sTrOnG sAfEtY?

One of those where you do something well so they just keep giving you more to do, despite it not being in any sort of job description? I left one of those a few months ago and now I how a title and an actual job description that gets followed and it's absolutely fantastic lol

Basically lol It started as a standard part-time bookkeeping job, but it evolved from there. During the first summer lull, I even handled landscaping, bush shaping and pool cleaning at the CEOs house, with shall we say "limited" experience in each area. But I don't have too many current complaints. I work from home, my employees are literally the kindest I've ever worked with, and I get little-to-no micromanagement. My pay scale has been bumped up well over time and I'm potentially looking at a title upgrade in the future from what I understand, so it's one of those that would be difficult to leave.
