I had a company I was talking to ask, and say up front that they would need pay stubs as proof.

That's why part of this law states that the employer has to provide the salary range upon request.

Why are you so hostile to someone wanting to know the most basic parameters of the job?
724.

I'm failing to see the problem. They're negotiating. If you don't want to pay them max_salary, then you need to have a reason why not, and counter negotiate.

In the US, it is flat out illegal to place any prohibitions on employees sharing salary data with one another, obvious caveats about "at-will" and employers lying about why they fired you notwithstanding.

by s73ver_ 9y ago
I don't see a problem with it. I never saw the reason why any employer needed to know what someone was paid before. A job is worth around $X to your company to be performed. What I was paid in my previous job has absolutely no bearing

I'm not sure why you'd pick the coffee shop over the library, but a big part of it is getting out of the house. I personally don't want to work from home. I don't want to bring work home; I want home and work separate, s

Not so simple. For one, I need health insurance. And, especially now in the US, trying to strike out on your own while needing that is quite dangerous.

Right, it makes absolutely no sense to believe in it now, when it clearly does not exist. But I don't think it's a bad thing to work toward, and actual just world.

It can largely be luck that they have the resources to participate in the first place, however.

I don't think it's bad to desire it, or to try and work toward making it more of a reality.

I take immediate issue with the idea that not working unpaid overtime makes you "not a good employee". A good employee should take care of themselves, and do what they can to avoid burn out, so they can continue to be productive.

But eventually, the robots, unable to cope with what they've got to do, will turn to robot drugs, robot alcohol, and other robot-destructive behaviors to escape.

But with what money? Most of the people at high risk for displacement aren't exactly rolling in the cash.

"I didn't mean it in the sense "he is inferior to SWEs"," That may not have been your intent, but that was how it came across.

I read it quite closely. It claims that's what it wants to do, but it doesn't actually do things that would accomplish that.

I'm not seeing anything there that would help those who can't afford care. And charity is woefully inadequate, and still doesn't address needing care today.

"Although I would prefer to concentrate on the 10s of millions of non-citizens and illegal aliens who receive tax payer funded health care." You're gonna have to provide a citation for that claim, there.

Ok. How?

When that policy is based merely on one's religion, and not on anything that matters, then yes, it is immoral.

Yes. Remember when he was saying he was going to ban all Muslims? And remember the Muslim ban that prevented lawful residents from coming back into the country? You may not want to believe it, but it is true. Lots of groups of marginalized

Right, but you specifically called out someone as "not having the skills as a SWE."

Me too, but they definitely skewed toward "those that deserve an interesting and fulfilling job are engineers".

Trump campaigned on far more that illegal immigrants. Muslims and LGBT people were also targets of his.
745.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
This narrative that only engineers deserve to have interesting and fulfilling jobs needs to end. It's nothing but elitism, and adding the "#firstworldproblems" doesn't do anything to help your cause.

Automated emails are pretty shit, and easy to spot. They also tend to turn off most people, making recruiting more difficult.

There's a HUGE difference between "a president you don't like" and "a president who's entire platform was removing people like you from the country".

I fail to comprehend what about bright colors means they are primary school aesthetics. Why should adults only have drab shades of gray?

I remember many executives complaining about Obama being elected. Hell, I remember many telling their employees they had to vote against him otherwise they could "lose their jobs". (In the metaphorical sense, not that the executiv

It upsets me that they didn't finger the person ultimately responsible for this, and single them out.
