This. And fire the executive management that refuses to seriously what a good project manager tells them about realistic time lines with given resources. They are the scourge that will either sink your company or cause it to never become a great company. It sounds like your company needs to either table some of the projects for now or hire more resources. Though that still won't help you if you don't have good project management.

And you can tell them just that. That all you want in life is to do interesting work like this job is offering. That doesn't mean that you will be culled from the herd for it. It tells them that you're applying to the job because you want to do the work associated with the job. Telling them that you just want a job tells them that you don't give a shit about the work.

The answer of "Because I need a paycheck" more often than not means that they will be generally dissatisfied in their job and have a high chance of either leaving early or general mediocre performance due to low moral that can't be fixed by the employer because the employee just doesn't like the job.

If you're goal is just to get hired, I'm not going to be so keen on hiring you. The point of these questions is that everyone has career aspirations. Most people don't want to be in the same position with the same responsibilities forever. The purpose of the question is to determine if you're not a good fit for the kind of opportunities that are expected to be available at the company.

Maybe African American people should have found another means of transportation if they didn't like standing. Injustice should not be tolerated, even when you could technically avoid it.

If they're reviewing the plan every week and trying it twice a year, then they're probably having a blast. Survivalists enjoy doing this kind of stuff. Be glad there are people out there with this hobby.

Only in the contemporary. Classical understanding of the terms has a Democracy almost exclusively referring to direct democracy. This is a question of scholarly understanding. Utah should consult the philosophy professors at U of U to decide how the terms should be taught in schools today. I myself no longer know if referring to a democratic republic as a democracy is correct usage of the term today. Any philosophy professors on here want to chime in?

Not to say that I disagree with your post. However, electronic brakes are quite common. That said, it's always possible to "push through" and mechanically activate the brakes should all of the redundancies fail. Electronic park brakes are also coming onto the scene that are only activated by a simple switch. I know the Volt has one.

Government contractors tend to have much higher pay scales than normal. I live in Southern California, hardly a low cost of living area. On average, teachers here get paid more than me. However, their starting salary is generally less than $50k. With all the time they have to do with as they please, I am not sympathetic. Yes it's a high stress job and crap like No Child Left Behind has created performance metrics that would make me want to jump off a cliff, but the pay isn't bad. Trust me when I tell you that teachers where I live (and in the low income area where I grew up) get by just fine making a pretty healthy salary with good benefits compared to many of their fellow English and history majors.

What!? I make twice that after five years experience in industry and a battery of peer review publications under my belt, and I'm slightly above the median in my geographic location according to IEEE. Don't make me laugh. I have no hope of tenure and sabbatical, I get 2 weeks vacation, no lounge, no union protection, and my mistakes at work could result in killing people if they go undiscovered. I hope you're not an engineering student who seriously expects to start out somewhere near $70k when you graduate.
