This game really captures the feel of what it's like to be in one of those Soviet republics, and to some extent, what it's like to be on the other side, trying to come in. Given how often I sent an innocent person to a gulag (even

I think he's talking about unpaid overtime.

"Most 'office' jobs can be worked remotely." This isn't quite right. Most 'office' jobs could be performed remotely is true. You can't say they can be worked remotely because most companies don't

How often do you get to actually use that flex time, though? I think most of us have plenty of horror stories about being offered "time in lieu" for overtime, and then the boss conveniently "forgets" that he offered us t

Wait, these guys are not allowed to, but big, moneyed interests are able to give anonymously to SuperPACs?

No, all that plan does is make people not go to the doctor when sick. They put stuff off until it is far too late, and they end up needing more expensive care that's much riskier.

Then don't advocate for the option which would cause that, and don't say, "it's unfortunate". These are people's lives you're talking about.

So you'd be perfectly fine with tons of elderly people ending up homeless.

So you want your children AND your parents living with you for the next 30 years?

Then those people should really hate the broadband companies.
253.
by st3v3r 10y ago
And those companies had no choice but to go along with it?
254.
by st3v3r 10y ago
Do you honestly think that will be enforced?

Wow, so you guys had to suffer through Joe Buck too?

But the reason we don't like them is that they choose to skirt the law.

"Because the money for salaries is not generated out of thin air. It gets determined by the profit-margin provided by the market." While this is true, it's also very much not my problem. If your company is offering X, and ano

You continue to forget the point that it really does not matter what your company thinks about ROI if the company next door is offering more money. The qualified people are going to go over there first, and you will get the leftovers. Why w

"I support the increase in wages but you also need to consider what ROI you are bringing to the company if you are commanding a 200k + salary in a place like NC." At the same time, the company also needs to consider what the compa

I think part of it is, there doesn't appear to be any penalty for sitting and waiting for that Unicorn candidate that checks all the boxes and works for peanuts. Most employers already feel empowered to have their existing employees do

What part of repealing the rule that financial advisors have to act in the client's best interest, instead of their own, is "great", exactly?
262.
by st3v3r 10y ago
Perhaps, but this way no one has to go on the record stating that they're in favor of repealing the rule that financial advisors have to act as fiduciaries. Of course, one would also think that no one would want to go on record voting

Well, why would those senior people want to apply and work at your company? This is not snark; this is a real question you need to be able to answer if you want a chance at hiring those senior people. Why would a senior person want to up an

It's a problem with a pretty clear and easy solution: Pay more.

Why would I want to apply to a company that has demonstrated they don't know much about technology?

What does it matter that the goods are cheaper if you don't have a job to provide income to purchase said goods? And while labor-saving tech is, overall a good thing, there are lots of people still counting on those mundane jobs to put

Because it's not the same? People moved from subsistence farming to factory work because there were jobs, and they didn't require a whole lot of specialized skill or training to do. Now those factory jobs are going away, and there
