Right. Because it's a slam-dunk case when somebody says something discriminatory in front of no witnesses but the complainant and without any paper-trail or recording...
Bringing a suit is easy. Proving it not so much, especially if you have limited financial resources.
Well, it is a LOT DIFFERENT if you are a minority female.
First of all, they start off by giving you the benefit of the doubt. So, if you are a minority female, then it is generally upon the company to prove its innocence if you bring these types of charges (warranted or not).
And God help you if you are minority female AND trying this against a government entity (especially federal)...they'll pretty much quickly pay you off to get you out of there and out of their hair.
It isn't like the applicant will face any fines, or punishment by bringing false accusations you know...
Intel threw $300,000,000 at increasing diversity and equality. Either there is a genuine shortage of skill, or they genuinely care about that stuff*, or... Or what?
If you are sincerely having a problem filling jobs, then diversity is the LAST thing you're concerned about.
If you have 3000 jobs to fill, and all you have are 3000 black women applying, you fucking hire them.
Geez....when we we get over this forced diversity for diversities sake and just let people compete and be hired on their own merit in this country?
I have a *really* hard time believing these companies have such a large part of their workforce that they depend on daily coming in and out of Syria, Iran, etc....
I never knew those were the tech Mecca of the world....
Hey, if it were ONLY the top of the folks in the fields, I don't think we'd have a problem with it...it is the drones coming over and sucking up the regular jobs there ARE people that can work on here...and driving wages down.
If we have the H1B or other visas only for those that make say over $130K/yr, then that would help things a great deal....that way we let in the brains, but keep out the drones...
Immigration is the best way to safeguard a nation against attack. Who wants to attack their own? Those nations that restrict their immigration don't have that protection...
Wow..just...wow.
When did you come up with this little ditty..and do you actually believe that....?
Well to be fair, what's the point of having a country at all if it doesn't entitle you to anything? Just somewhere to throw away your taxes in the hope that you'll get drafted for a war you don't wanna fight?
PLEASE post under a real username...so someone can/will mod you up!!!
I couldn't have put it any better.
Yes...if you are a US citizen, you *SHOULD* have first preference to a job in your own country.
Err...I believe there was a clarification yesterday
( maybe from the State Dept?) that said green card holders were not part of the temporary halt of immigration from those 7 countries into the US.
If you're not an American, and weren't here, then you'll know it was not bullshit.
There were no riots in the streets then, no broken store windows, no fires set in the street, no Obama fans got physically assaulted.
No, until now, the response has been civil, not like these radical assholes out now in the streets, trying to suppress speech that deviates from their overly liberal, progressive mantra.
Because none of them are fascists. One is a straight-up racist, so there's that, but the other two voted for him because they hadn't done any research, wouldn't believe us when we explained his platform to them, and made it clear they were voting for him because they didn't like Clinton.
So, I don't believe most Trump supporters are facists or racists....and so far, I don't see any of Trumps policies following either of those ideologies yet.
Just because people on the far progressive left start throwing those terms around, doesn't make them so you know.
While I really hate to be a single issue voter, the Supreme Court fill for Scalia was pretty much the main concern I had about the election, and I'm quite happy so far with what I know about the new justice that Trump nominated. And there's about a 99.999% chance this nominee will be the next justice on the court.
I wish that were true. I suspect most people know at least one person who voted for Trump. I personally have three members of my extended family who did, and no, they show no signs of being remorseful.
Why should they be remorseful?
He's doing exactly what he said he would do during the election...especially the supreme court nomination.
Nobody I know voted for Trump, yet he won with almost 50% of the vote. What's your point?
Outside your comfort bubble, people do different things. Intelligent people acknowledge this instead of screaming like a madman.
Now..if only the poor folks that did not vote Trump and lost the election could learn and abide by such wise words
The liberal "madman" rants and fits are getting a bit old.
You sure didn't see this when the folks against Obama lost...twice. And I'll guarantee you most of them were as much against Obama and his agenda then, as the anti-Trumpers are today.
But, for the most part, they acted like adults, sucked it up....and went along for the ride, planing for the next election cycle.
If EE is dying, then maybe I should tell my nephew and all his EE friends who have been scooped up right after graduation from U of Washington. My nephew is in British Columbia doing a Masters (all paid for), several of his friends have $100K+ jobs in the Pacific NW. Yes, they were at the top of the class in a relatively good department, but there are jobs out there. Perhaps not for everyone with a pulse but that has pretty much always been the case.
The thing about EE is, that you *do* often start out a t a high salary.....and then you almost immediately stagnate.
But there's always the contract circuit after you pay your dues in the W2 world...you can then make some really good $$.
You would let millions die out fear that maybe 50 people could be in danger... at a milllion to one odds. Yes there is a terrorsit here causing a lot of death. You. You are capable of more heartless brutality than BinLadin ever dreamt off.
So, you're one of those new, radical thinkers that thing there should be no borders on countries anymore?
Sheesh, when did that gain traction?
No, there IS us and them.
They certainly think that way...and high time we started thinking that way again ourselves. This new line of thought is something quite recent and wrong.
You're wanting this to just be one big world, with one big unified government and way of thinking?
But the Obama administration didn't declare that the innocent citizens of those countries (that is to say - the people ISIS are slaughtering) aren't allowed to run away from the terrorists who are killing them.
From my eBay and paypal experience as a seller: buyer contests transaction, they loose on eBay side, but paypal sides with the buyer, you loose product and money. Google for issues people have with paypal/check consumeraffairs.com. Add this them as a payment to Amazon and I am gone from that market place.
I think the word you are looking for there is LOSE, not LOOSE....
I wish they'd offer both a CC AND stand alone license of their products.
Seems they'd cover all their bases with that, as that there are still a lot of holdouts that do not want to rent their software.
I'm still holding at their CS6 suite of tools...while there have been some nice additions to like Photoshop, there's nothing that radical that I can't still do in CS6 for the most part.
I'm working a lot with the Affinity Photo, and even their Affinity Designer....both are about 98% of what Adobe offers in PS and AI...and I gotta say, AF is quite a bit faster and less of a resource hog than PS, and the updates are free, and is a stand alone license.
I like Adobe products, but I am still not able to allow myself to go for the rental model.

The customers are the advertisers, they are the ones that pay money to FB, and hence are FB's customers.
Your common user that has a FB account for "free", is the product that FB offers to their customer.

This has been the worst thing MS has ever done to a GUI interface.....and now, Libre has copied the abomination.
If they at least will give you a choice of that or menus, that would be cool, but if ribbon only, I guess I'll stick with the older versions....
The thing about EE is, that you *do* often start out a t a high salary.....and then you almost immediately stagnate.
But there's always the contract circuit after you pay your dues in the W2 world...you can then make some really good $$.
Hey, you can't save the whole WORLD.
Well...it only takes ONE terrorist to cause a lot of death, mayhem and destruction.
Better safe than sorry.
And this is only a temporary ban at this point, on 7 nations that had been targeted by the Obama administration before they left.
You forget that Obama held up refugee/migration at least ONCE during his tenure...where was the fallout then?
So, you're one of those new, radical thinkers that thing there should be no borders on countries anymore?
Sheesh, when did that gain traction?
No, there IS us and them.

Not me....
It's their problem...not ours.
Apple is based out in CA, where pot is legal.
It might just be iHigh.....?
But this one gets me wrong, and especially on this example, the person repeated it, and therefore shows a lack of basic English.
Sorry the lose/loose one is just a pet peeve of mine.

It all went to hell from there...
However, the drawback to me would be...having some requirement to have Windows 10 on any computer in my home....
I'd never heard announcements of them actually releasing it!!
They certainly didn't advertise it very much...?
