if you're a consultant milk lovely clients and give breaks to the good ones for a+ ethics points one consulting gig i was at this was almost company policy lol. oil and gas clients got the expensive rate whereas work for local non-profits was done at a discount with fixed bid so no overruns

Anything that isn't aimed at the destruction of all that you guys support is bad and you will go to hell for doing it. Hopefully before you die.

note that the consultants themselves were salary and had 37.5 hr per week maximums so this wasn't coming out of our pockets directly arguably we could have been earning more doing hourly work but we made more than the avg consultant so whatever

rotor posted:yeah, consulting isn't for me either but the idea that its somehow especially unethical seems weird to me i don't know that it's particularly more unethical than most tech, but that's a part of it as well. also the ethical standards of the company i was working with when i was learning it were below my standards. sap is sort of ok software, but it seemed like it'd be mind numbing to configure systems for a job

erp work is absolutely mind numbing and i'm convinced that's half the reason it pays so well because it doesn't sound particularly hard or challenging from what i've heard

we used sap to track spare parts at a semiconductor fab i worked at. it was fine. you could order parts and track inventory with it.

the main benefit was keeping track of spares we had on site and spares that could be shipped on site within a 24 hr window for some critical robots and stuff. i think that was more that out sap was set up to work with the sap of various suppliers, but it let us do cost benefit of buying stuff and keeping it on site vs waiting until failure and buying one and paying for a chartered plane to deliver it from germany or whatever. so yes a lot of just in time stuff but this was for computer chips.
