    Don't stop to put out a bridge fire if there are hundreds of other bridges. It really has to do with who needs who, the employer or the employee. Who's the pretty girl and who's the slavering douchebag? Cause the pretty girl never treats the slavering douchebag with respect.

    It's not an escaping issue. It's an encoding issue. And it's an intentional choice on /.'s part, not a failure.

    Same experience here. The only time I've been asked ahead of time was for remote work.

    HR should stick to pushing paper and answering questions about benefits. They don't belong in the hiring pipeline for anything but the most menial of labor.

    Your company deserves to get sued out of existence for your shitty, illegal hiring. You and your ilk are pieces of shit. Grow the fuck up and learn how to operate a business, you feckless moron.

    Bullshit. If explaining why you are not hiring someone opens you up to legal liability, then your hiring practices are illegal and you should be ruined.

    Unless that retail store is successful and cares about their people; then they will tell obnoxious customers to fuck off.

    The issue is that HR doesn't know the first thing about working with anything but a captive and abused labor pool. When they have to deal with labor that can afford self respect, HR doesn't have a fucking clue how to pivot from unprofessional asshole to engaged sycophant.

    Techies are hired to tech. Not to socialize. HR is hired to socialize. The lack of professionalism is from HR departments across the board, not employees.

    HR departments seem to be trained to deal with poor people with no skills, and so they treat everyone like an indentured servent. When they finally have to deal with skilled workers who won't take their shit, they get all indignant.

    Has anyone ever received a rejection call from an employer? Cause I sure haven't. If employers want people to tell them they are not accepting a job offer, then those employers damn well better be calling everyone who did NOT get the job.

    If you haven't been paid, you don't owe them shit.

    A lot compared to what? Even $50/hour is barely enough to hire mid-level engineers performing relatively straightforward work in CA. Once you're talking about Americans or Europeans with special skills, you're unlikely to find much even at that price point.

    You prefer backdoors placed there Brussels rather than Washington. That's understandable, but that's a lot of investment just to be able to choose which spy agencies can pwn you.

    They are also referred to as the Dark Ages because the people living through them also had no idea what their own history was. This is the vacuum of information the Catholic Church moved into to dominate European thinking. It was much easier to spread Catholic thought to the ignorant post-imperial society than it was in the preceding centuries with an educated, cosmopolitan, "global" empire.

    Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights guarantees freedom of speech. The guarantees aren't as strong (hate speech is only protected in the U.S. for example), but it's silly to claim freedom of speech laws are only an American thing.

    Other nations you may be surprised to possess free speech laws: Japan, Phillipines, Australia, Canada, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Mexico, ...

    Europe will fall into fascism way before the U.S. does. It's always had that nationalism thing in the bag. America is composed of too many individual nations to be truly nationalist.
