Would You Bid for a Job?

Roland Piquepaille writes "Several U.S. hospitals have found an innovative way to deal with nursing shortage. They post shift openings and the highest hourly rate they're willing to pay on their internal networks. Then, the nurses bid online for these extra shifts. The lowest bidders get the shifts and are notified by e-mail. This bidding process is almost certainly a good thing for the hospitals, but is it good for the nurses? Or safe for you? And what will happen if other industries also adopt auction systems? Imagine a company telling you, "Hey, you want to make some extra dollars by building this car or writing this piece of software? Name your price, and you'll make some more cash." What do you think of this bidding process? Read more before posting your comments."

    The Führer's Youth

    The boys who are true Germans
    To Hitler's Youth belong.
    They want to live for their Führer,
    Their eyes are fixed on the future.

    Bigger and stronger they have become.
    The German Heritage is theirs.
    The great and sacred Fatherland
    Stands today as it ever stood.
    From this picture may be seen,
    Hitler Youth in splendid mien,

    From smallest to the biggest boy.
    All are husky, tough and strong.
    They love their German Führer
    And God in Heaven they fear.
    But the Jews they must despise!
    They're not like these boys,

    So Jews must just give way!



    SIEG HEIL! WHITE POWER! 14/88!

    And the media tells people what to do, one way or another. In reality, most people don't really think much about such things, because the media doesn't pay much attention to such things. So, you may thingk you are in some sort of vanguard, pushing the envelope here with this "outspoken" view of yours. But in reality, you are just going along with what TeeVee tells you to do.

    Sorry to put it that way, but that is my honest opinion....

    I assume you are complaining about the tech market which has undergone a large shrink and for good reason; there were way too many IT/IS workers who had no real skills, no love for the job, and little experience. They simply took some CS courses at the community college because "that's where the money is".

    We can't hire enough people around here that is for certain... but then again we aren't hiring Bob the electrician who just aced his MCSD boot-camp.

    Create laws so that the citizens are the owners, and that our time is valuable. Pay a basic minimum income to all citizens. Slow down immigration. Offer tax-funded national healtcare. Build public subsidized housing. And make all these govt programs transparent and effective. Government is just a machines. Machines can be improved.

    You can have most of that already, just move to France. And then join the crowd complaining about tax rates, public services unreliability and inefficiency, and bureaucratic clutter.
