My employer, a large multi-national bank recently began mandatory return to office. Same large multi-national bank required all employees to be "fully vaccinated" up to about two months ago, when that requirement was suddenly and mysteriously dropped. The language just "disappeared" like Joe Biden's nose into a young woman's hair. But I digress.
I personally have steadfastly refused to commute into Shitcago anymore because it's just not safe. When I did go earlier this year, typically once every week, I conceal/carried. I was typically one of a handful of people in the office when I went in, despite our having multiple floors of a large, downtown Shitcago building, each of which housed upwards of 250 - 350 people per floor. That's just the building I worked in, we have multiple downtown business locations.
So last week while I was on vacation, there was a major CHINA VIRUS breakout in each of our downtown office locations.
The result: Our offices are closed for cleaning & disnfecting for TWO WEEKS.
Here we go again: Two Weeks to Flatten The Curve!
Still, anyone who's educated on this topic knows the CDC blew it from the beginning and is still wrong today. Following anything they say is like tempting death itself, IMO.
I think I see the problem.
I design in AutoCAD, Microstation, and multiple GIS platforms, but yes.
The “standoffs” I would call dead end suspension insulators.
The phases we refer to as A-B-C.
On the 3 phases are hot line clamps to a lead to the top of a cut out.
Cut outs have link fuses.
3 transformers are routinely called clustermounts up my way.
They typically call the drop wires 3 phase 120/208 V open wire secondary.
We typically call the two things to the right guy wires with anchors(not in picture).
I forgot to add, the linemen have a jive term for most equipment, and it highly differs by region.
I’ve met tons of out of state linemen during storm restoration.
How about just linking to the article directly instead?

You have proof of this where? The states that did not shut down did better than those that did.
“Jive term”
1. Slang, jargon, lingo.
2. You can put an RF engineer, a digital engineer, and an electrical engineer in the same room and they cannot talk to each other. See Line 1.
Used to amuse me no end.
Unreal.

>>You can put an RF engineer, a digital engineer, and an electrical engineer in the same room and they cannot talk to each other
You need to add a power supply engineer.
It’s brutal…
Because there isn't an article. It's a self-post. FR Doesn't allow that being left blank.
I think this is what's happening in large companies (multi-national or not) everywhere.
HR & Legal "run the shitshow" to protect companies from financial liability.
That means common sense goes right out the damn' window ...
I don’t think you understood what I was “saying”.
I was MicroStation for 25 years after the company migrated from Intergraph IGDS. I always found AutoCAD rather cumbersome for nuts & bolts drawing constructions, though their higher function s/w routines could be quite nice, if needed.
I used to be a network engineer, I’m sure there are similarities.
Almost everyone I deal with is AutoCAD now, with fewer using Microstation.
For simple jobs, I could bang out a job in Microstation in less than a day.
Cell libraries are big in my field for efficiency.
We use a dozen or so symbols over and over...
For scheduling/project management most use P6 (primavera).
For cost/cost analysis we use Excel.
For materials I largely used Asset Suite 8 which is Ventyx.
It seems as though every type of engineer has similar issues per posts.
Yep, one must stay current. It’s all changed so much since the early days in the early 80s. My field was civil engineering.
I retired 5 years ago. I do use MicroStation demo so I can work 15 minutes at a time on a HO scale model RR layout. It’s finished now, except for the occasional as-built edit. I will need it again for a wiring, power & train control diagram.
Congrats on retiring.
I assume you have your setup saved and memorized?...
