ITER is pretty interesting. It will either go down as possibly the most important experiment in human history, or it will be a $50+ billion boondoggle....

[quote]BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A Baton Rouge Police Department spokesman confirms to the 9 News Investigators that a high-ranking officer has been demoted and suspended tied to an ongoing investigation into searches he conducted [b]on the clock[/b] without a warrant. [/quote] This feels like an o...

[quote]You should never cruise in the left lane and you are wrong if you do in every scenario - whether you are driving 50 MPH or 100 MPH. But you don't have to be speeding to be impeded by slow traffic in the left lane.[/quote] This is fine in a vacuum, but the reality is a little more nuanced IMO...

If you take a lot of travel pics the 12 Pro might be worth it, since it has the telephoto lens. The regular 12 only has the “standard” and wide lenses. I just upgraded an opted for the regular 12 because I don’t take a ton of camera pictures. That seems to be the biggest difference as far as I c...

I see some comments to the effect of “technology advanced very slowly before [insert event].” I don’t think those comments are wrong, but I do think they point to the flaw in the question. Our technological development has been exponential, for the most part. Which is why you can point to so many in...

When I said “I thought the same thing” I was referring to the size and location of the lot.. not the age of the picture. It’s obviously from the 70’s. :lol:...

[quote]Is that picture from the 70s? Marathon has tanks, pipe racks, and conveyors surrounding that plantation now. Plus its really not much land. They could put one tank on the plantation property. Marathon has plenty land to expand anyway. [/quote] Yeah, I thought the same thing.. at most they co...

[quote]Some companies have resorted to removing college information from resumes, as there are biases towards schools. Harvard versus LSU versus Princeton versus Yale versus Southern... Pick 3 to bring in. They're trying creative ways to remove biases on people. I got into Duke on a half scholars...

[quote]And by passing a law preventing that, it evens the playing field. Which isn't a bad thing unless you're an a-hole who thinks someone should get a higher salary because they are more "likeable" [/quote] Holy shite. You really are all-in on this aren’t you? :lol: So let’s say I buy a restau...

[quote]Name a potential employee that would be opposed to knowing a salary band going into an interview. Is there a single person out there that would see this as a bad thing?[/quote] It’s not about whether they are opposed to knowing the salary band going into an interview. It’s about whether thei...

[quote]It's just inefficient communication of material information, I don't tolerate inefficiency.[/quote] Oh, the irony. :lol:...

[quote]I'm sorry that you feel like knowing a base salary up front is entitlement[/quote] [quote]I have. But the response is usually "we don't disclose that information without an interview". Which is stupid.[/quote] Interesting. So it sounds like you don’t actually have the leverage to force them...

[quote]Can we just have higher standards without everybody crying about rights every time? Like I don't want clam shell packaging in the United States. I don't want to have to use a tool to open something I bought. "Don't tell companies what to do just don't buy their product" I don't wa...

[quote]It's a waste of everyone's time if there isn't at least some sort of understanding of expected pay for a potential position. A friend of mine interviewed for a job that has a national average of ~75k (state average is roughly the same), when they got down to discussing pay, the hospital w...

[quote]Why not sell it and profit?[/quote] Probably the same reason it was purchased in the first place - they need the land. The refinery was built on the former plantation grounds. The plantation house itself was designated a National Historic Landmark while the refinery was under construction in...

Highly paid technology guy (basically a subject matter expert) got hammered at a company Christmas party in NOLA and pulled a switchblade on another employee. Didn’t actually stab anyone, and wound up not getting fired. He actually got promoted a couple of years later. Same company.. one guy bou...

[quote]Is anyone arguing for never going back to an office or training ever again? People that have been working from home for years still go to shite with they're coworkers at least annually. [/quote] I spent the first ~7 years of my career working in “remote” roles where I only went to the office ...

[quote]You get paid for the value you bring to a company, not for where you live. If a company thought you were worth 250k in nyc, you are worth 250k anywhere.[/quote] Again, you are worth what the labor market says you’re worth. If a company is headquartered in NYC, and wants people to be at the o...

[quote]Sounds like your company has a management problem. [/quote] You’re not going to get any argument from me on this one. :lol: I wouldn’t be upset if they just shitcanned the underperformers and replaced them with people who are more productive/useful. If those replacements are always availa...

[quote]I also laugh at all these people that point out their one job they can do from home. Honestly that’s great guys, honestly good for you. But let’s pull your head out of your arse and realize the entire company can’t do that.[/quote] The funny part to me is that despite all of these “I am way ...
