OK. I wasn't asking for the number of stalls or urinals. Just the number of toilets in, the number of places.
The boss of a company doesn't have better things to do than know about his staff, locations and rental. You forget what I used to do. I never dealt with the office manager on these large office refurbishments and who I did deal with went to the boss for approval and to inform him.
Still for your information 700 office people = 154,000 sf

So it seems you're squeezing them in pretty tight.Leasing District: Midtown North West
Total Office Area: 107,000 sq. ft.
Floor Area: 17800sq. ft.
Floors: 6
Year Built: 1990
I assume all the other occupants in the building have gone.
This was a strange one. http://dockets.justia.com/docket/new...v01149/358534/ as you're explaining things maybe you can explain this. Assuming this is one of the things to concern you.9219-1568 Québec Inc

We've already covered this. Fabian likes dressing down, so as to not appear too successful and intimidate his audience.
Next will be the mystery of the dormant 9 figure investment. Maybe some of it was used to take over the building, buy office furniture for the extra staff 400 people would be somewhere in the region of $400,000 to as high as $1.2 million for good stuff.
I could ask him the cost of the refurbishment per floor and what is being done. Of course on this my figures might be out of date. Still I can take a swipe at it after Fabian tells us what he's signing checks for.
Unless he can't be bothered with the small checks.

They move out 1st July.
And Manwin has a Director of Facilities; she reports to The CEO of Manwin Canada who decides after a team reviews, including me.
And no, we are not squeezing them in tight. There is a law, the construction company can not break it."Think about it a little more and you'll agree with me, because you're smart and I'm right."

And btw, I can hardly explain a lawsuit between two companies I do not own..."Think about it a little more and you'll agree with me, because you're smart and I'm right."

All the occupants or just some? Still doing 2 floors and having other floors occupied and 700 people does mean it's a bit tight. Laws must be different in Montreal. The construction laws are about the construction. Space for staff fall under different less stringent laws. Mostly guide lines for effective work performance depending on the work required.
Highly skilled and sort after people will want a more comfortable office than grunts.
I would assume you were part of the team OKing and signing the checks for such a major project. That part where you said you couldn't be bothered threw me. Usually million dollar outlays are dealt with at the highest level.
As you will know renting, refurbishing, furnishing, employing extra people like this is a multi million dollar project. Rarely dealt with by underlings. I was very used to making presentations to a CEO, MD or even a board to do the refurbishments and furnishings. Only in companies a lot bigger than Manwin did people doing my job then deal with subordinates. So I'm sure you didn't mean you couldn't be bothered.
I thought you would know something about it. http://blogs.forbes.com/velocity/tag/ventura-content/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Vi...Piracy_Efforts my mistake, sorry.And btw, I can hardly explain a lawsuit between two companies I do not own...Last edited by Paul Markham; 06-21-2012, 05:45 AM.Comment

We are only waiting for 6th floor and half of 5th to open up and a very small part of the 2nd where Ericsson still has an emergency control room. All this we get July 1st. The rest we have. During construction of course it is tight. But most will be done by October, then we have a lot of room.
And yes I was part of the team and I give final approval, but there are budgets in place for this stuff, we plan ahead you know. No need for me to look at details. I ok'd budget, look, furniture and I just. Sat in on the stacking plan. I am hardly in all meetings though.
We are redoing our office in LA too btw. Done August 1st that one. Same basic look, just red instead of blue accents. I love the project. The workforce is also looking forward to it, since the atmosphere will be awesome.
In Montreal, 2nd and 4tg floor are almost finished. Very clean looking. Much friendlier than the old look.
Since you worked in furniture, we use Bene in all offices."Think about it a little more and you'll agree with me, because you're smart and I'm right."

Now you're starting to see why I was so thrown with your lack of knowledge or you not being bothered. This is exactly what the man at the top would be bothered with.
Employees are your top resource, their well being is one of your top concerns. Not something that is delegated unless in the very biggest of companies and even then the top man in HR sits at a very high level.
Not familiar with Bene, I was selling Mauser, which was at the Herman miller, Westinghouse level. top level stuff and expensive.
Nice looking stuff. http://bene.com/office-furniture/uk/ They have a world wide network?Last edited by Paul Markham; 06-21-2012, 07:10 AM.Comment

Yes, world wide.
Very functional and configurable furniture..."Think about it a little more and you'll agree with me, because you're smart and I'm right."

People in Montreal are far from being squeezed out, I rarely seen and office where.
everybody seem so happy to work in.
Lots of room, lots of freedom and lots of smiling people.
For me Manwin is THE corporate model.

Really? I'm assuming you mean their offices, etc.
'Cause a lot of that nice fancy office space and furniture is paid for via piracy and the devaluation of a lot hard working people's content.
Not much of a "model" when it's built on the backs of other people's work being stolen.Last edited by Robbie; 06-21-2012, 10:26 AM.-Robbie

Hey Fabian...about shutting down all those tube sites. Did you just let your alligator mouth overload your hummingbird ass?
