Every company I've worked at has provided it. Usually as a recurring thing too. Often at somepoint during new hire orientation, and then once every year afterwards. Your HR dept should be able to set this up for you (even if you're a small company and have HR outsourced to one of those HR outsourcing firms). Your company, as well as you personally, can be sued and end up losing a lot of money over this.

Here's a small gist of the training: Harassment is defined by the victim. It doesn't matter if you or your co-workers don't consider it harassment, if the victim does, then it is harassment. There is a ton of legal leeway given to victim. This is not a subject to take lightly. Simply looking at a person the wrong way could be considered harassment. Laughing at a joke, even if it is not at his/her expense, and even if that person laughs as well, could be considered harassment.

Get your team/company the training.

For a trip over 500 miles, I get a plane ticket :-P. Did that just this past (long) weekend (had took thurs & fri off). I really don't enjoy driving 8-9 hours to a destination and then that same time back. Just eats into your vacation time :-).

I'm likely to buy an electric. My commute + daily chores are well within the range of electric vehicles. When I buy the electric, the hybrid will still be around, but only for the occasional longer trip. Hopefully, by the time the hybrid dies, electric vehicles with 200-300 mi range will cost much less.

and the damn Rectangle Manager :)

That site also says, "It will be on May 21st that God will raise up all the dead that have ever died from their graves." So _that's_ the zombie apocalypse the CDC was warning us about!

What's the difference between Marketing and Sales? Marketing knows that they're lying.

That's ok, Bay Area drivers can't handle those situations either ;-)

Heck, 101 and 880 turn into a parking lot of accidents anytime there is some light drizzle. I actually doubt a self-driving car can be worse than the drivers around here.

There's another factor to consider: green-handcuffs.

This is the term used when an H1B worker has applied for a green-card, would like to change jobs, but can't, because it would require starting the application process over from the beginning. Obtaining a green card while on an H1B can take 6 years (or as short as a year). I used to work for a company in silicon valley that would hire H1B workers, pay them significantly lower wages (and get away with 'paying market rate' by changing the job description to one where the market was significantly lower than the position he was actually working in), encourage the worker to apply for a green card, then do what it could to stall the process so they could keep the cheap worker longer.

The H1B workers called it green-handcuffs and would leave the minute they got their green card.

I currently know a guy who went to work for a company on a particular project. the project got canned, so he got moved to another position in the company. a position he hates. he'd leave, but he's close to getting his green card approved and doesn't want to start the process all over again.

I've seen it. I wish I had mod points for him. The problem is that everyone treats whitespace alignment differently. On a large enough team over enough time, people who use tabs will start to mix tabs and spaces for alignment. Once that starts happening you'll get code / comments / ascii art diagrams all misaligned when viewed in someone else's editor who doesn't have the same tabwidth. The only reliable way to solve this for everyone is to force tabs-as-spaces (:set expandtab). That way the spacing is consistant on everyone's editor.

You can do video chat on the PS3. And you can chat with multiple people at the same time. I've personally done it with three people. I don't know what the limit is. All you need is a PS3, a compatible webcam (could be a Playstation Eye, PS2 EyeToy, and there's various other webcams that supposedly work), and a network connection and you're done. Oh, sorry, replied too fast...missed the requirement about needing to be viewable on a PC. Well if that's not a strict requirement, then you can think about the PS3 option.

They'd get 42 dollars?
