Slashdot Mirror

The Twitter feed has gone but there is this page, called, Do you know your Digital Reputation - let Adecco coach you. [ironic or moronic - you decide] https://www.adeccowaytowork.com/en/career-center/tools/181

The irony of this page is palpable

For example:

You disgust me. I expect never to make use of your services, either looking for my next position, or when I am part of the hiring process where I work.

As an active web developer with a strong network built up over 15 years in the industry, I intend to make sure the details of your parasitic behaviour are shared as widely as possible. Everybody who works in the digital economy will see this as a crime that could have been perpetrated on themselves.

I will encourage everyone I can to see themselves as a potential victim of such cavalier behaviour and to boycott your services therefore. I know how many of my colleagues already despise the way big business flouts IP laws, whilst simultaneously using these same laws to crush players too small to afford protracted legal battles.

You are in a service industry and person you have just ripped off is the archetypal representative of your customer. I can only hope that the impact on your bottom line is what it deserves to be. I will do what I can to encourage everyone to make it so.

Incidently their twitter feed is interesting reading at the moment. As is their facebook page.

This adecco page has twitter feed deal at the bottom and it's a riot to read right now. Apparently they haven't caught on that this story is getting a lot of attention yet.

I'm gonna guess clicking through on the facebook deal next to it would lead to similar stuff.
