    Health Care Now

    I'm a fucking savage that works my ass off and probably pays the health care for 6 kids so mommy can work 40 hours a week and be home in the evenings. If you raise my taxes to the point where I can work 40 hours a week and have the same take-home pay that I do now, guess what I'm going to do...

    People dying from CO poisening running generators indoors

    Considering that my in-laws don't speak English... I completely agree. If you come, prepare to be integrated into the culture. However, that doesn't address the reality of the situation and the fact that this is sad and not necessarily related to stupidity.

    Monster.com Hacked

    In my last company Monster was our best job-site source of candidates, better than HotJobs, CareerBuilder, etc. However the boards all combined only totaled something like 5% of hires. Employee referrals, by contrast, was around 40%.

    People dying from CO poisening running generators indoors

    Happened in Seattle a few years ago during the power outages. A lot of the people that died were LEGAL immigrants who couldn't speak the language well enough to read the warning labels and hadn't grown up with grills and generators so had no idea it was dangerous. The Times wound up printing a...

    Health Care Now

    Agreed - IF we're talking about a 40 hour week. Everyone I know making six figures works 60-80, sometimes more. I don't consider it unreasonable or inhuman to have to work more than 40 hours a week in order to provide food, roof, transportation and health care. Two full time jobs at 7/hr...

    Senator Asks Microsoft to Prioritize American Workers Over H1B Visa Holders in Its Layoff

    Not true. Teams are picked on a strategic level, yes. Individuals RIF would happen by teams being told how many people they need to cut and the manager who personally knows the employees making the decision. Every RIFed employee is personally given the information in a meeting with their...

    Corgis are the only little dogs worth their salt; they've got all the big personality of a large dog packed into the short-legged little package. Sorry for your loss. :( :brokenheart:

    Health Care Now

    I am glad, and I would do everything short of prostituting myself to make sure it continues. I went untreated for a year before I was diagnosed and I will not let that happen to me again if there is any way whatsoever for me to prevent it; if that means scrubbing bathroom floors at a homeless...

    At what point do we PC ourselves retarded?

    Sounds like grandma needs to find a good male role model for these kids to be their "dad". Get involved in a Big Brother, Big Sister program, join a church, whatever. The kid isn't "weak" to be so upset or traumatized by this; it's completely understandable to want a dad and to feel pain...

    Health Care Now

    Your friend can go work for McDonalds or Safeway 32 hours a week, get health care and have a small paycheck to take home to boot. It is ALWAYS possible to get health care for yourself unless you are flat out bedridden. It is not the government's problem that your friend is unwilling to work a...

    Monster.com Hacked

    Announcement They didn't get very proactive about emailing the users this time. In case your Monster account shared a password with any other accounts, better change the others.

    Would you respond to a lowball offer from a potential employer?

    Sure; who knows how they might counter. "Thank you for considering me. I was very impressed by everyone I met and remain interested in your company but unfortunately I need to seek a role that will compensate me at my market rate of (your range) at this time. I appreciate your time during...

    "What are your salary requirements?"

    $10 is low, agreed, but the competition for entry level jobs in Seattle right now is fierce. I had a friend I basically subsidized for a year while he looked hard for an entry level job and he ultimately had to move away because he couldn't find one. Going through the temp agencies has been a...

    Senator Asks Microsoft to Prioritize American Workers Over H1B Visa Holders in Its Layoff

    IT = help desk and other support capacity in this case. R&D is on their more fanciful set of projects, not their core products where they brought in H1-Bs for specialty skills. I've got probably two dozen MS contacts, mostly in HR, that I've been in touch with since the news came out. The...

    Senator Asks Microsoft to Prioritize American Workers Over H1B Visa Holders in Its Layoff

    Indeed, that is very true. But since losing that co-employment lawsuit MS (and every other major Seattle-area company) has been very VERY careful with temp labor, very deliberately using enforced time away from work and other differentiating factors to make sure they don't risk that type of...

    Senator Asks Microsoft to Prioritize American Workers Over H1B Visa Holders in Its Layoff

    Do you even know who got laid off at MS? Much of it was temp labor and nearly all of it was in operational capacities that don't employ H1-B workers anyway. H1-Bs work in IT, not HR. This is just a publicity stunt for this senator. He's comparing apples and oranges.

    Senator Asks Microsoft to Prioritize American Workers Over H1B Visa Holders in Its Layoff

    A few points about H1-B candidates. 1. They do not get paid less than their American counterparts. These are in-demand employees with needed skills; companies compete for them. 2. It is cheaper to hire an American at equal pay. H1-Bs require immigration specialists paid for by the company...

    Craigslist question

    That's about what I ask when I email on a listing that doesn't have good detail. Maybe the person's just a bad planner and didn't realize they were responding multiple times on the same listing.

    how long can you last if you are laid off?

    About 10 years if I liquidated stuff down and minimized expenses. No car payments, no mortgage payments, health care is my biggest expense that I would hold onto, and I don't mind sharing a house to save on rent, eating pasta regularly, doing without tv, doing without both a landline and cell...

    What is your favourite dog breed?

    We're on our 6th Great Dane and the only thing I don't completely love about them is their short lifespan. Our current girl is starting to get up there now at 6 years old. :(

    Homeschoolers. They read at a college level, are at the regular level of math for their age, are beginning high school level science, are actively involved in their youth group and 4H club (dogs and horses) as well as the neighborhood kids, and both play a bit of piano. They haven't done any...

    They can install new software, create and manage folder structures, replace a video card (with help), track their competition results in Excel and use formulas to trace their average times and stuff, and identify when they pick up a virus from all the crap they download.
