Every job that you have gotten has needed ID for background checks. I've never been asked for ID, age, or gender during the interview process. Nor would I give that information freely. I recently filled an online application that asked

This is great. And I wish this hadn’t happened to you. I just started a new position overseeing our Linux based Oracle databases and this will be a great asset. I’ll do my best to contribute where I can.

Trump isn’t controllable in the boss to employee sense. He is controllable because he is impressionable. He thinks him and Putin are allies. If Putin suggests something he will run with it. If Putin suggests something to his followers they

They would have to sit back, tell their client to plead the 5th, and let the prosecutor do their job of proving a crime was committed by the suspect beyond reasonable doubt. I watched the OJ Simpson trial when I was a kid. I was sure he wa

In my social group almost all of the parents working in the trades sent their kids to 4-year universities. Of the few who didn't, they didn't have much of a choice. The kids who didn't have the grades for college, enrolled in

This could not have happened to a more deserving company. I take no comfort in this happening to them, yet I have no sympathy for a company who preys on people at their most vulnerable moment. Judge away!

Oh, I know very well it's complicated. But that is the 500ft explanation I give to the beancounters, "why are we using these expensive UPSes when we can get them for $100 from Office Depot." I'm most familiar with the AP

Lots of users have desktops, monitors, chargers, and even heaters plugged into our UPSes. To them it's just a chunky power strip. They're lucky if they can squeak out more than 5 minutes on battery.

I have the next step up from this, the 1500 VA. I assumed the UPS under my desk was the Smart-UPS series but I can see it is the Back-UPS Pro. I haven't been in the office in months!

I tell them I’m recording this call. They usually hang up. I had one say, “sir, it’s illegal to record this call. And I’ll have to hang up.” Never heard from them again. Don’t even know what the debt was for. The only debts I owe are a stud

I head up our IT department and I use both; Windows for business apps, MacOS for creative apps. 10 is mindbogglingly inconsistent from the way the UI changes between old and new control panels to the way graphic scaling is horribly broken.

This is what I think it really is. Tiktok was used to embarrass Trump. Tiktok is now a national security target. @jack @ Twitter was his target for a week once they tagged his posts as noT factual.

I have 3 hard pulls on my account. I was looking at buying a car so got pre-approved by my bank (1). The dealer pulled (3) more figuring they could get me a better rate, and a fat commission for them. My score dropped 30 points over the nex

The way the US property market works just completely blows my mind. Even with federal regulation there is a lot of racism inherently built into the system. Cities drain money from predominantly black neighborhoods by not repairing or updati

Anyone can do this with a canceled check. If she didn’t authorize the withdrawal she calls the bank and they put the money back. And they start their own investigation. Our banking system is trash but it’s not lawless. The company committe

That's how racism and sexism tends to get brushed over. You report it, the other party opposes, HR (trying to avoid a scandal) tries to convince you you didn't see what you saw. And then your character is compared to the other per
