I just wonder if any agreements were made with employees at either Yahoo or BB that they would be allowed to do a certain amount of their work remotely.
Again.. it goes back to the current American belief that it's okay for a corporation to break their word or contract with an individual but absolutely wrong when it's vice versa...
Ignore them. Thread over. Let them do what they want to do. That's their rights as human beings, bit we're within *our* rights to say frag off and ignore them.
Automatic telephone switching sure as hell costs some short term jobs, but opened a marketplace so wide that the jobs created outweighed to operator jobs by many, many times.
However, again you have to remember the market is far from a fair market right now. The biggest corporate entities (the ones that can afford lobbyists) have undue power in the market. A good example of what Adam Smith wrote about this is not.
I am still trying to understand why this video still hasn't stirred up a national controversy.
Of course the corporate media have reasons to ignore it. CNN, for instance, has admitted to hiring *journalists* on H1-B visas. There is no reason to do that except as a cheep labor ploy.
No, it is laziness... sorry. It's an unwillingness for H.R. recruiters to see people as individuals and not a commodity. The guy with a high school degree only could be 3x as good as the guy with a 4 year degree. It takes time and effort to make the evaluation, and H.R. will not do it.
I went to get a masters degree in an area outside of my original studies because I wanted to move into technical jobs. I didn't have experience yet but I thought that all education was good and I would make it clear that I went to school to *learn* and I was willing, even with an advanced education, to start at the bottom and work up.
It darn near killed my career. *Every* HR drone has been taught that the only reason to go to school is to get more money. EVERY one.
It didn't matter what I put into the cover letter. It didn't matter what I said. Master's Degree = roundfile. It didn't matter that the company could get a well educated worker at a bargain price.
The fact that H.R. can not see beyond simple rules and labels is hurting corporations. The fact they're too stupid to understand this simply backs up my point.
If they are so concerned with healthcare costs, then why is the exploding number of non-medical administrative personnel ever mentioned?
When I lived in a certain large Midwestern city the medical office I went to contained about two financial office personnel for every medical staff person.
Of course one reason is that they have to have a staff to fight the insurance companies at every turn... but no one will ever talk about that.
Yes... there are medical procedures that do not need to be done, but the problem is like so many in everyday life: there is a huge number of high end administration that don't do squat and make huge salaries.
Our society (USian) as a whole worships the CEO class right now. This behavor is an outgrowth of that.
There is no reason to give credibility to it. If the story didn't have the "he's a CEO" aspect we'd question why his opinion was important. Just because he is a CEO doesn't mean that he has credibility if you look at the world with a critical eye.
The Obama administration, no matter how many accusations regarding some sort of "Socialism" get lobbed at it, is a *corporatist* White House. It's only slightly less corporatist than the Bush Jr and Clinton admins.
Nothing will happen. The corporate cheerleaders and know nothings thinks this somehow protects corporations from the great unwashed.
If journalism is now just "a form of entertainment" then as a democracy where people are trying to make decent decisions about their government and what corporations they interact with we're in DEEP SHIT.
I doubt that Ed Murrow saw journalism as a form of entertainment.

I think that's exactly it. It's a "we've got the power so frag you" type of move.

Datacenter groupies.
Which is not saying much.
Trust Microsoft as far as you can throw fatass Steve Ballmer.
Trust Google as far as you can throw Larry Page. Slightly longer but not that much of a difference, really.
So.. they're whining.

Only true if you're focused on the big picture.
Automatic telephone switching sure as hell costs some short term jobs, but opened a marketplace so wide that the jobs created outweighed to operator jobs by many, many times.

Who decides what a worker is worth? The market does.
This is true, but it's disingenuous when corporations can manipulate the market through their government ties.

It's against treaty to put weapons in space... at least out in the open.
Whether it has happened already or not, however...
Well.. we have found Steve Ballmer's account name on Slashdot apparently...

I care. Not because the guy is rich and I worship CEOs, but because this is another example of some governmental lowlife taking property.
As much as I am FOR regulations of corporations I am against misuse of regulation for petty reasons.
Based on your message, I wonder how they were able to pull this type of project together in 10 days!
Obviously someone up there has been interested in this problem since well before the Russia incident.

Really? When did the salaries of upper management decline? What data can you provide because all data I've seen do not support this conclusion.
The Obama administration, no matter how many accusations regarding some sort of "Socialism" get lobbed at it, is a *corporatist* White House. It's only slightly less corporatist than the Bush Jr and Clinton admins.

So your opinions are worth as much or more than facts?
This kind of summarizes the problems in the U.S. today, I think.
because it's ABSOLUTELY impossible to install more chargers.

Except Musk has evidence by way of log files. Now he has a duplicated journey that backs up his view of events.
If two people are lying (with falsified evidence) then it's Broder's term to put up or shut up.
There were loudmouths pissed off about a boat breaking down.
At least that was why CNN's coverage was lousy.
Just another journo that you can safely not read. I think Broder was caught in a near-total lie.
