Really? How much did the person watching at home pay? It's not absurd. I don't like it, but it's not absurd.

I'm working on a system with a stupid amount of poorly documented/undocumented moving parts. It's all tribal knowledge and blocking trying to hunt down the right person to bug.

Aren't most contracts nowadays structured to avoid these types of shenanigans? Profit sharing off gross income instead of net, for example.

Is this happening under the NCAA? If so, why would a top player want to do this? You can compete in pro without completing school, and you can likely make enough to cover the cost of school just by playing. So why put yourself through NCAA

Why is this absurd? It's expecting you to pay for their product.

I think the EME thing is a symptom of a worse problem, which is that the internet is very much controlled by a handful of commercial interests. Whoever controls browsers can become a bad actor and you either go along with it or end up with

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say I don't think this should be legal. Hiding behind the idea "we only sold you a license" is ridiculous. You sold a product, it includes supporting software. Unless their is actu

So fire them. Sorry, didn't work out. GTFO. The situation now is not better. People have cargo-culted a strategy that is based entirely on having enough applicants that you can afford to have a stupid false-negative rate. It's al

That would never work in the US. It would be both impractical and politically impossible. Most people don't have 35k to drop on an electric car, and even if they did the infrastructure doesn't exist.

Plenty of unions and associations don't do this. A reasonable method for this would be for a union to negotiate per level salary bands, and yearly merit increases. Within the band the company pays whatever they think you are worth.
