We recently had an open position and scheduled two interviews. One was a no-show, the other called the day of the interview to say her job had "called her back in".
What was the "rudeness" that begat this, eh?
There was another long thread on Slashdot not long ago about no-shows. I still find it amazing. The first poster in this thread had it right - it's common courtesy to call and cancel if you are not going to show up.
Christmas bonuses here. And I have been ghosted by an employee on what would have been his third day. And I've had more interview no shows than I could count. I find the discourtesy appalling.
It is criticism. That alone is enough for the critics.
Agreed. And not only that, one guy's opinion about what Trump should or should not be doing becomes this headline:
"In the Trump Administration, Science Is Unwelcome. So Is Advice."
Talk about hyperbole.
"Could it be internal affairs? The FBI using random "malware" as a cover for a cyber task force looking at the inner workings of city hall?"
Yes I wondered that too. It seems like an odd target otherwise.
Actually someone else originally called them feral in the thread, but please, keep telling me how I don't know how to read.

Public attack on a policeman with a sword. Yeah, nothing feral there. And that's one example. I won't get started on grooming gangs raping underage kids; your brain might not be able to handle that part of reality.
And to help you out, the statement you backed away from regards "no feral humanity". Now it's "Oh, in some places there might be." Pretty soon maybe you'll make it to the truth.
You're backing away from your original statement, which I suppose really you had to do, when presented with actual facts that sort of take you off the pedestal and place you back in the real world.
Yeah sure. Low crime rates. Japan has a low crime rate. So does Singapore.
But UK, Norway, Italy, Ireland, France, and Sweden have nothing to brag about other than having somewhat lower rates than the USA. Maybe look up the numbers before spouting off in your oh-so-precious mode next time.

You're trying to refute my argument by reading a more extreme one than the one I wrote, then refuting that instead. I didn't blame it *all*, just a large amount . ..
Well, you did, actually. You said: It's higher for two reasons, one is socioeconomic (poverty is higher on average) and the other is simple racism (the justice system is harsher on black people than white). You stated that those were the two reasons; you neither stated that there were others, nor that there could be. If that's not blaming it "all" on those two reasons I don't know what would be.

You may just be proof that programming is a high demand field.
It still makes no sense to say that something that didn't happen would have been worse. That doesn't make what did happen good.
I'm self-employed. And what it has to do with it is he's a whiner for thinking he deserved a response to a silly salary demand.
Yup. I use those. 100% solution.
What a ridiculously overstated headline. The court certainly DID NOT come to that conclusion.

Dotslash?
So they didn't respond to your demand for 25% more than they offered? Gee, that's a shocker.
That response makes no sense.
Different sort of candidate, apparently.
You seem nice.

Not as closely as they do to PSINET, which you may not be old enough to remember.

I don't lack either. I also don't lack the ability to perceive reality for what it is, as you do.

Thanks for using "toeing" correctly. So rare these days not to see "towing" used.
Re Eich: exactly correct. I will never use another product from that fascist, intolerant organization.
As I said, holy. Where do you live that there is no crime and no feral humanity, I wonder? Nowhere on earth, I'm thinking.

Humanising the general criminal is a sign of a civil society. Dehumanise them and you're no longer civil.
Well, la-di-da. It must be nice to be so holy.
In a sane world you don't treat people like feral animals
