Whew, I clicked this article in a hurry, all ready to be incensed about the unnecessary comment targeting "A place you would NEVER move to!" As the Golden Girls say, thank you for being a friend. I cannot speak directly about the job opportunities offered to a tech worker, but, for Bob's sake, it is inaccurate, passe, and just about rude to use Detroit as a whipping boy, especially in a way unrelated to the article at hand. The connotation here is clear, that nobody would relocate to Detroit because Detroit is Detroit. How dare you use an out-dated stereotype as a significant talking point of your summary? Detroit as a city and Detroiters as Detroiters are picking themselves up by their boot-straps and it is glorious. Large companies are championing the city; for example, friends of mine are working downtown for Quicken Loans. That company is actively encouraging employees to live in city limits in various ways, one of which is practically paying their rent entirely with subsidies. Shinola is proud to be more involved in the city. I am not necessarily a fan of the casino industry but we are known as a top 5 US destination. Ah, and from my morning Fox2 news, here is a more nationally recognized entity that hasn't felt like kicking those who are down and trying, and doing great- http://www.freep.com/story/ent... Detroit, #3 of 10 of up-and-coming restaurant cities. I can't lie, being a Detroiter out of state gives you a certain notoriety, even in metropolises like Chicago, but we are not just the background for Robocop. Things are happening here, going great, and I am just so proud to be a part. There is so much positive action happening here in south-east Michigan period in so many ways, & the fact of the matter is that a disturbing amount of people with stereotypical bad things to say about Detroit weren't even a twinkle in their parent's eye when the events happened here that gave them their impression. The riots are over. My parents were young at that time. Detroit is not the Wild West. Act right, and you'll be so pleasantly surprised by the neighborly attitude that Detroiters present to one another, including strangers. Get real. Drop the effing snide tone. Come by.

Thanks for thinking of me, first. Have a great day.

Sadly enough, it seems that the ideal Best Buy employee is somewhere around the personality level of your average person after a night of drinking with no stop in dreamland. New year's Day, 5 am. What the hell kind of store expects employees to be able to drive to work for that shift, much less be productive when(if) they get there? Best Buy, that's what kind. After carousing until ~4am (with a stop at home for a little of the old khakis and a polo), I was having myself a serene little time "Farming" and "Flexing" at random, and then comes the Morning Meeting. I wouldn't be surprised if a manager made a note of 'What great enthusiasm those boys had,' because a Best Buy Morning Meeting is just about the most fun thing you can do a little off the sober side. Cheering and clapping and dancing, yelling out with a burst of corporate cliches at the top of your lungs, these are things that normally land drunk folks in jail, not in an Employee of the Month frame. Being paid to watch short pun-filled videos about topics like Contact and Loss Prevention, safety videos hosted by comical fellows in costumes, chants, high emphasis on talking to as many people you don't know as possible, free food, a frown for those who ask too many complicated questions...you'd think that corporate would install a goddam keg in The Hub. If it weren't for all the expensive stuff to break, they'd pass out booklets to new employees entitled "A Drunk Employee is a Good Employee."
