I wasn't saying look up industry averages (although more data is more better) and just ask for that. I was saying you have to have confidence. Your perceived value will determine hat you ask for, and what you get.
Most bosses don't volunteer to raise your salary over what you ask for
If you fail in your attempt, yes. If you manage to achieve a union, then not. Union development is, and always has been, extremely dangerous. 100 years ago you wouldn't be blacklisted, you would be beaten (maybe by police).
If you are valued then you will be compensate monetarily as well as in perks like additional time off.
You will be compensated at the minimum level that the employer can get away with. I'm not sure why you think that how valuable you are matters. How valuable you think you are is far more important.
So if one says "3 weeks" it is a bit ambigous, don't you think so?
No, because a week is not a unit of measure of 7 days, but instead 7 consecutive days. It obviously means 7 consecutive days. You were going to get 2 of them off anyway.
BTW, I've always seen it phrased formally as days, but informally as weeks because the standard use is to go away on a Friday and return on a Sunday while being somewhere else (an island or something) for the intervening 9 days.
The idea that things only ratchet one way is empiracly false. Look at the most recent take plan, the rich got more and the poor got (less than) nothing.
Do you avoid buying clothing from overseas sweatshops? Do you only buy produce picked by well paid white people? How consistent are you really about your claims to the moral high ground?
Consistency (of this type) is overrated. By your logic, you can never give a dollar to charity, because later he's going to choose to eat a lobster instead of donating everything and living in a shack.
To recognize that X is bad, and I'm not going to do it, while doing related Y and Z is superior to doing X,Y and Z.
People -- really smart people -- saying some of the most vacuous things
The entire article is written at this level of generality. As such, you can search/replace Silicon Valley with Wall Street and the same article applies. Hell, you can probably replace it with "That McDonald's, no the one by the Burger King".
His point may be valid, but he hasn't offered a single example to back it up.
And, as a public service, he has links out of his article that imply he links to the "vacuous things", but it's just another shitty page with nothing on it and he's just trying to drive up page views.... like those articles across 12 pages.
There are also people not working on graphene applications because the cost of graphene is so high. If graphene base product gets cheaper and more stable, then graphene applications may follow.
Again, it's not the most Americans approve of the arrangement or the system. It's just most Americans approve of the part that they consider within their control*, and don't see a way of changing it. I'm not sure if there is a way to change it that won't result in a shooting war.
(*Not including presidential results, where at least half the country is constantly pissed. More than that now.)
Sure it is - if you (A) don't use the internet, or (B) always using private browsing mode how would Facebook be tracking anything about you?
Your picture is taken with a group of friends, one of whom posts the picture (and list of people in it) to Facebook (which includes GPS and timestamp). And since they already got your contact info from your friends phone book, they can correlate that data point to others they have on you from other sources.
Would it be any better if a closed source software did the same thing?
Yes, for the same reason that I like it when [Large Tech Company] patents [Evil Thing]. Sure, evil thing is evil, but now only that one company can do it (for 20 years). Closed source software would raise the burden to spam calls, making it happen less frequently.
Citizens of Puerto Rico don't [pay US federal taxes]
While they don't pay US taxes, they do pay PR taxes. And, by federal law, PR taxes cannot be lower than US taxes (to avoid exactly what you're planning.)
What is so special about the USA when their government (i.e. congress) regularly has support in the low teens
While Congress as a whole has support in the low teens, the support that each congressperson has from their constituentsis actually quite high. How much of that is because of delusion is a valid question, but there's no consent each individual congressperson has the consent of the governed.
The data isn't private. This scammy company already scrapped it. No doubt many others did too. Allowing them to maintain the secrecy of their data just gives them a profit motive.
Where's the benefit of locking down this user data? It seems like, if we want to harm scammy companies like this, removing their profit motive by publishing all the (non-copyrighted) data makes sense.
This appears to be an extension of the "Kanzen" technique originally used by the Japanese car manufacturers. It took them from essentially not competitive in the US to a dominant position in very few years.
It was the combination of Japanese cars being smaller and more fuel efficient, and a gas crisis in 1980 that led to Japan taking a huge position in US car sales.
Amazon's B2C logistics are fine. They can get a random piece of crap sold and delivered. However, they aren't great at say quality assurance (look at the eclipse glasses) and have no demonstrated skill at maintaining the appropriate levels at thousands of retail locations (yet, they're developing them.)
As for long-standing relationships, I'm not 100% sure I buy your explanation. While I believe that the MDs/RNs they promoted made bad IT decisions based on relationships, I'd hope their knowledge of medicine/medical products was deeper. I'll also say that "longstanding relationships" means low-risk. It's not that Amazon needed to compete of customer service, it's that they need to prove they are as reliable.
And you can go to a pharmacy if for some reason you need a drug you weren't expecting. It's great for individuals. It's different for hospitals/major consumers.
You know who probably could get into that business - WalMart. They are excellent at making sure several thousand locations have the materials they need on-site. Amazon has a few dozen fulfillment centers and trucks to UPS. They just don't have the infrastructure to do B2B (yet). And it seems like Whole Foods, etc. are attempts to buy that infrastructure/know how, that will then start expanding into other locations.
I have no doubt Amazon will end up competing there, I just doubt it will be anytime soon.
1: Having (or showing) the mental (or moral) strength to face danger, fear, or difficulty.
2: Making a fine show
3: Excellent, splendid
Meanwhile, "cowardly" doing something would be doing it while showing disgraceful fear. I suppose that would be apparent in her voice and word choices.
Your entire "sunday USPS delivery" think misses the point. Next day delivery is unimportant in drugs. 100% reliability is. With whatever you order on Prime, it arriving in 1 day (or 2 or 2 hours) is the important thing. If something goes wrong 1% of the time, they give you an apology and a free month of Prime. If drugs don't arrive 1% of the time, that can cost people their lives.
I don't dispute Amazon has a great chain for consumers. It's just not who I would order recurring shipments of 55 gallon chemicals for my plant or medicine for my hospital from.
Elon Musk isn't able to reliably deliver cars, including for quality control purposes. He should not get into the medical space, esp. producing generics.

Our dental care tends to be comparable to the UKs, except for our cosmetic dentists who tend to be superior.
The ten days does not include national (or state) holidays. There aren't that many, but at least they're all on Friday or Monday.

You get together with a bunch of other contractors...

And yes, errors will be made. But you can still require a good-faith best effort.
Are attorney generals required to be members of the bar, or are they political operatives who manage attorneys and decide on priorities?
