Comment Old is just an excuse (Score 0) 629

My company prefers older workers; we use a lot of older hardware/software on our production lines that suit their skill sets better than younger workers. You can get a job, you just have to get off your butt and go find it. Sorry, but working at a home is a right given to a) cheap outsourced work (think Indian programmer) b) a master of a given field, where remote help is a company's only option to get their help c) you've worked with that company for X years and they can't afford to lose you (a subset of "b")

Comment Nobody benefits from these, except the lawyers (Score 0) 163

Corporation that was "punished" finds ways to cost cut to make up for losses, which usually means jobs are lost. People wronged get a laughable amount of money. The lawyers make out like bandits though...but when don't they? There needs to be a better way of doing this.

Comment He's clearly a scapegoat (Score 1) 714

They just don't want this bullying to continue and are making an extreme example of him. It's national news so the punishment has to be harsh. However, even though what he did was horrible, a punishment shouldn't be completely decided on what the victim does after the fact. If I call someone a moron, and then they go shoot up a school, am I liable for that because of my "hate crime" and do I get punished according to what the victim does? I think this case will set a new precedent on what you can be punished for.
