The first wave might. However, I'm guessing housing prices would adjust.

You don't think Google moving to KC would have a huge effect on property prices? Not to mention, if they close down, you'll likely have a harder time finding another job than you would somewhere with a lot of tech places.

If the only way you feel that you can attract talented workers is for some other place to go under, you're not trying hard enough.

Neither are any of the shining examples cited above.

What's that saying? You almost always have to get approval from your manager to spend $500 on a tool, but call a meeting with 20 people and no one bats an eye.
636.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
Yup. Totally because people aren't hard workers. Nothing at all to do with the fact that wages have been stagnant at best over the last 30 years, and housing prices have ballooned.

So, if it's that bad, why don't we rise up and string their executives and legal team up? I don't want to have to resort to that, but at some point it seems that's the only thing they'll listen to.

Wouldn't the best you could do be to just walk away, and not bother with them?

The "work" for "no pay" part. That's always exploitation, no matter how you try and justify it.

"If I were looking to get my foot in the door, I would totally code a week for free." I absolutely would not. They're a company; they can afford to pay me. Me, however, my landlord isn't going to accept "I had to wo

Its almost like it's a large community, with many different people having different opinions. However, it does appear as if the community is pretty united on the idea that asking for free labor like this means you deserve to go get fuc

"You can try suing but then you get known as the entry level employee whose litigious against their employers" Any company worth their salt should not care about this. Any company that would be upset that someone sued because thei

" what is the appropriate way to bring people on when you can’t pay them? " Go get a business loan. Go get funding. Don't ask others to work to make you rich for free. It's quite disgusting.

Yes, that is also shitty and should not be allowed.

Not if we use the force of government to flat out ban the practice.

Different stats depending on how you determine that someone is "unemployed". Some count anyone who doesn't have a job at all unemployed, while some will take that number, and remove people who wouldn't be part of the wor

Because we don't like looking at people as purely numbers. Especially when those people are dependent upon their job to be able to pay rent and buy food.

No, it isn't. Their entire argument was predicated on "these companies need to hire the best." So they need to define what "best" means in this context. Cause so far, for the likes of Google, it's "Went to

Again, I'm not buying it. Investors are also people, who are also capable of knowing right from wrong. I absolutely will fault them for taking evil steps to make profit at the expense of others. And I disagree. Including the clause ind

You're assuming the actors are all rational. In other words, "No one ever got fired for hiring from Stanford"

But not many with the clout and paycheck of Google.

by s73ver_ 9y ago
Why can't I fault them for using a decidedly evil clause? These companies are run by people, who are fully capable of knowing right from wrong.

I can't possibly see how. Limit every American to $500 of political donations a year. Everyone has the right to speech, but no one has the right to more speech than another.

It's not in Europe, so I see zero reason why it should be permissible here.

by s73ver_ 9y ago
How does that change things? Why does that mean that I should not be able to unite with my fellow consumers to hold them accountable?

Ok. How do those journalists, web devs, publishers, photographers, etc pay their bills?

To punish Equifax? The problem with the snarky, knee jerk response to class actions that you have is that most class actions are instances where individuals aren't harmed for much, but together it's quite significant. And I have a
