Do you work with industrial machinery?

What interests me is the terror threshold. People are just so much more, including me, afraid of electric motors vs ICE per kw.

It is not playing, it is confused, thinking the ball is food.

I am just picturing some alien biologist studying us

"This human is operating a video game called a FPS. It may seem like he is playing but really his instincts for self defense and attack are just misfiring. It isn't recreational it is just confusion"

afraid_of_zombies , to Work Reform in Why does a prospective employer need my address?

I know. There is a reason after my eldest became 1 we moved to an area we can’t afford.

I am so glad humanity has no history of using very bad metrics to make decisions with.

afraid_of_zombies , to Work Reform in Why does a prospective employer need my address?

One company I worked for really sat down and did it I know because one of my ex-employers had folded and they called me about how they couldn’t reach them.

Could easily be both. I kinda feel like I ran into this once with a resume I saw that the person lived way too far away don’t remember exactly.

Baking a loaf once a day isn’t all that hard especially if you just bought a bread maker. This could easily be like the era before internet porn where porn stores would have some regular books in the window.

Leave it to Jupiter to mess yet another thing up

afraid_of_zombies , to Work Reform in A billionaire wrote this letter to Google a year ago. How likely is that Google's layoffs and actions since then are at least partly because of this?

Kinda glad I work in government/heavy industry. The highs aren’t very high and the lows aren’t very low. I will never be rich but I also will never be unemployed for over a week by choice.

I imagine it is because many of us have had it happened. We worked hard and did what we are supposed to do and now have to suffer because of another person’s mistake. A mistake that they are shielded from. It isn’t like the upper management is going to get fired because they overhired.

Additionally it tends to come in waves and that seems to be more based on what they think they can get away with not based on what the market is actually doing. One of my main vendors just did that to their engineering department. They are publically traded and their financials are fine.

I am sure nothing will go wrong with hiring people based on race instead of merit.

I don’t think I have ever read a hobby section of a resume.

afraid_of_zombies , to Work Reform in Nearly 20% of workers have changed their name on a resume because of discrimination concerns, says new report

When I interview I come up with a list of technical questions about the job. If they get about +70% I recommend them else I don’t.

afraid_of_zombies , to Work Reform in The reason CEOs want workers to Return To Office is because they want you to quit

I thought my employer wants me to come in is because a lot of my work is hands on. Kinda hard to debug an electrical problem remotely.
