It's great that your experiences have worked for you. In general it's best practice to give notice. If you spend two more weeks in a job that you hate, to me that says a lot about your character.
Agreed. It says your a spineless loser who'd rather kowtow to an idiot than stand up for itself.
Right, because all employers treat their employees with at least courtesy.
If you're smart and you were concerned about their leaving their previous employer without notice, you'd be wondering about that employer rather than first assuming that your new employee is a snake, because you DID just hire them.
Of course, if you plan on treating your new employee like dirt, then you deserve what you get.
I worked for a company that was so mismanaged that the management frequently didn't even bother to tell the software team that they needed some software written until after it was due. Naturally, they blamed us for the software's late delivery... this is also a company that had an entirely pointless dress code (i.e. no shorts even if you're just in the office and not seeing a customer), and no developers in the hall with the management and executives... and the list goes on.
I got a new job with a relocation package, so I had six weeks of notice. I waited until my last day at work to e-mail the director of HR that I was leaving and that was going to be my last day. She called me and asked me about it, and I gave her quite an earful before I left.
A developer at Amazon got pissed off at his management for not letting his team fix some problems that could lead to crashes, because new features were (politically) more important.
When he got page in the middle of the night because of a crash caused by the very problem that he'd been pushing to get fixed for months, his response was to send an e-mail to his manager saying he wasn't coming back to work.
Corporations only think that they can get away with this sort of double standard because the people working for them allow it.
My coworkers have been good references, so I haven't lost anything by burning those bridges.
Of course, such a system would give independent candidates a chance. That will not be tolerated.
The system gives independent candidates a choice, because the wealthy are aware of the fact that americans are far too stupid to vote for someone who doesn't have a large media presence.
If americans were marginally intelligent, they'd ALL stop voting for the currently dominant parties.
Oh, screw you. How were we supposed to know he was going to pull this crap, and how would voting for the other asshole have been any better?
Well, any even marginally intelligent person would have recognized Barack OButthead for the corporate cunt-licker that he is when Deepwater Horizon blew. His administration parroted the BP lies about the oil leak and helped BP violate a raftload of international laws regarding cleanup and use of dispersants, not to mention royally screwing the local economy several times over.
Anyone who votes for a candidate from either of the dominant parties is indubitably an imbecile.
The hot chicks in suits approach has worked for Booz Allen Hamilton for quite a while. It does occasionally get them sued for breaching their contracts since they blatantly hire based on looks and not on qualifications, and it usually gets them paid. There's no reason that Oracle couldn't use the same strategy.
Maybe we'll start seeing some competition there. At least it would add some pleasant distraction from the drudgery of mindless drivel that 99% of craporate IT work involves.
If they are unwilling to change, and I unsurprisingly tend to agree with Linus's stance on the fakery involved in being "professional", then she can either deal with it or leave. The people on that list were the way they were long before she got there even if she has been involved with it for the last few years.
Linus is trying to justify being an arrogant asshole under the guise of being casual. He's the sort of person who'd get his ass kicked time and again in person because he's such an asshole if he acted like he does online, hiding behind the anonymity of the internet. He's the perfect example of the biggest down side to the technology age.
If Sarah cannot stand the heat, she should go back to the kitchen.
See - now that is political incorrectness.
Yet also a fair statement. After all, when you attempt to join a community you either abide by the rules and customs of that community or else you leave and go elsewhere. You do not demand that community change to meet your world view.
Linus is an arrogant jackass. He's not someone to look up to. Any community riddled with people like him is bound to exclude the best people in its field, to its detriment.
If you don't choose the lives of your passengers, then you are immediately disqualified from being a pilot, regardless of race or gender.
That this should be a qualifying attribute should be a no-brainer.
Agreed. If Koreans disagree, then tough. Either way, they lose, because no one in their right mind would fly a plan piloted someone who fails that standard.
After the last of 16 mounting screws has been removed from an access cover, it will be discovered that the wrong access cover has been removed.
