So your answer is that it is OK for managers to go and loot the till?
I think unions are finally catching on to the whole capitalism thing, with a big FU when you have a CEO that does that. It did not matter what happened the employees or the company; the CEO is getting PAID YO!
The Union and their employees were never going to get anything worth-while so why keep giving in?
Reports have confirmed Joss Whedon is going to harvest Yellow Stone National Park of all lumber. When confronted with this information Joss replied,
I am going to create the best and largest set of (wooden) actors that you will ever find. It will be a seamless transition from episodes 1 to 3. Even Lucas himself will not believe that he did not direct it.
Do the courts even make a real attempt to punish corporations any more? The cash really goes the lawyers and the customers get the bread crumbs.
I tell you what, if want just, let the lawyers get reimbursed in the same portions and methods as their customers. If Amazon rips you off $100 and you get a $0.10 coupon for it. The lawyer who asks to get paid $1 million dollars should get $10,000 in coupons for purchasing e-books.
I bet you would see some justice. If not, lawyers getting screwed like, well that would be a least a little justice.
since patents (are supposed to) cover actual inventions, not just an idea for something
Evidently you have no been paying attention to patents being put out. Some of these things are little more than "transmit stuff... on the web" or "pen like device...on a computer" with no actual technology behind.
The real science fiction here is that some of these ideas becoming patents
But reading the article, I don't really see anything that the says that the tracked performance of hires. What I saw was that they tracked costs of employing new hires. Basically, how often they showed up for work, whether they filed for disability or took extra time off.
They met accounting metrics, like reducing costs for employing that person, but that does not mean that they did well at meeting customer expectations.
Unless they are paying you drastically more (20 or 30%), stay with the place you enjoy. Hell, you could just move closer to your current job.
It is hard to find a job you enjoy with people you like to work with. If this new place has problems, personal as well as business side, you are screwed. It will be hard to find a "fun" job again.
Can England gather together a bunch of self righteous, self absorbed a**holes that will hop from one company to another hoping to strike it obscenely rich?
(2) Exceptions. A juror may testify about whether:
(A) extraneous prejudicial information was improperly brought to the juryâ(TM)s attention;
It depends on what could be considered "prejudicial" or not. If he had a pre-formed opinion (which seems likely) on patents and used that to basically ignore all prior-art evidence then that is certainly prejudicial.
The whole reason that this comes up is because you get guys, who ignore facts and place their bias out there are the truth. This is why you get Kentucky trying to get rid of evolution, stupid senators making dumb comments about rape. Throw in the good ole-boy network of reenforcing stupidity (on basically anything) we get these stupid statements and stupid laws.
The one thing I have noticed is that Warren Buffet cannot resist getting involved in newspapers. Just because he invested money in them, in this case, I would not consider this a smart investment.
Now I know that they are not going to be the same between men and women. A woman is likely to change their litter box more than once a year; which is what a man will do.
They are basically saying the government cannot put limits on the sale of "microphones" because it is the sellers free speech, instead of what it is, a business transaction.
Next up, con-men, oh, that is what Verizon already is...
I disagree, I say we send some 1%ers up there. They were able to pull themselves by their bootstraps without any help from society to become billionaires. Imagine what they could do Mars!
Yeah, I mean, he has to run the business unit, ensure that sales and marketing are doing their jobs and that products are delivered to stores. Oh wait, HE AIN'T running a business at ALL!
People keep trying to rationalize these salaries as if there is some CEO shortage. Really it all about the good ole boy network and I will pad your salary and you pad mine. I remember after the banking crash in 2008 and they had someone reviewing salaries at banks. Every banking officer claimed that they were above average and deserved a raise!
I tell you what, lets set some goals for this guy as a CEO and if it meets them then he can have his huge salary. Otherwise this is just a welfare check to the overpaid.
In the US there are very few large scale organizations that are not businesses, and violence is bad for business; there is not that much of it. A good example of this kidnapping, extortion, protection rackets, are usually small-scale. There are other occupations that are safer and easier to gouge people out of money so it never reaches the scales that it does like in Mexico.
If the poverty line gets low enough combined with severe cuts in local services, it would not surprise me to see this trend be reversed.
I could support something like this IF, VERY BIG IF, the money goes to support the people actually produced the music. Not Copyright Board of Canada, the MIAA, or RIAA, or Sony, or any of the big companies out there. It needs to go to the artists. Otherwise it is just becomes another organization gaming the laws to become a bureaucracy that is a parasite upon other peoples works.

I think I can see why unions are the bad guys here, they want to interfere with the PROFIT step!

It is about time someone solved this poking problem! I am sure NASA will be licensing this technology right away!
I guess public education has failed us then. Bad attendance costs schools, money. Bad education, Meehhh!

That is because corporate infrastructure software does not generate revenue. Why spend money that does not directly impact the bottom line?
Maybe when you get people who actually understand the underlying business rather than a MBA graduate, that will change.
Obviously he is a recruiter!

You need to consider that one of them is one is fiction, and the other is straight out delusional...
That's because his crime was selling drugs to a US citizen below their listed retail price.
