If some candidates are undervaluing themselves then they need to offer them more money anyway, simple as that.
Ok, so then you are advocating with making laws forcing companies to pay EVERYONE with a same job title exactly the same....no more negotiation for salaries?
Or, Rush 2112. First song, first side. Or, In A Gadda Da Vida by Iron Butterfly. Hell, Rick Wakeman. Journey to the Center of the Earth
Yep, this is another example of modern music going backwards.
Modern music started out short, and then bands started pushing those boundaries with great songs that took much more time.
I'm guessing we'll never seen the likes of the songs you mentioned, and never see another Bohemian Rhapsody, or Stairway to Heaven, etc, etc.
The kids of today have the attention span of a gnat...I think social media and being connected all the time has helped push this detrimental new trait they have.
Ability to negotiate a salary has no bearing on a programmer's performance, therefore if there's a systematic bias it is absolutely the company's fault. The law is crystal clear in this regard.
It is not...there are also MEN that get paid more and less than other men too.
See my example above.
If all things are equal, and 3 employees all negotiate their starting salary, and they are all different.
If all things are equal during their stay and they all get 5% raises annually....they they ALL will be still paid at different rates, with some getting more than other.
Men get more money than some others, just like some women will to.
It is up to each individual to know their market worth.
Of course my example is a simplistic one to drive a point, I know other things come into play, like experience, and seniority.
Heck, it isn't fair that some times, new employees can come in, doing same job as older employees, but start off making more than the legacy employees. It just happens, that's why people often job hop so they can raise their salaries faster.
Irrelevant. It is illegal to pay men and women systematically differently based on any other criteria but job performance. Unless they are salespeople or professional negotiators, paying them differently based on "ability to negotiate" is illegal.
Well, how do you propose it works then?
I mean, I don't really know of any company, that pays everyone with same job title exactly the same.
Employee 1 comes in, and negotiates to work for the company for $50K a year.
Employee 2 comes in and negotiates to work for the company for $45K a year.
Employee 3 comes in and negotiates to work for the company for $55K a year.
All employees are hired one with the salary they agreed to....
That's how it works.
So all 3 employees work for years there, each getting a 5% raise each year.
Alll things being equal, the person that negotiated the best salary, will always be paid the most.
Now, what if employee 2, valued themselves the least starting out...who's fault is that?
If that was a woman, she'll always be paid less than 1 an 3.
Let's say 1 and 3 are both men.
Well, #3 will always be paid more than #1.....
So, where's the discrimination there? There is none.
The company wants to get as much work out of you for the least amount of money, that's how it works, and it is up to YOU as the individual to negotiate to get the best deal you can for yourself and to know your self worth, etc.
Plenty of people are saying that. One of them is our president, who has said that legal immigration should be curtailed.
No, he said we should be able to be SELECTIVE about who gets to immigrate in.
I agree with that.
Let's let people that are higher on the education and productivity totem pole in ahead of the others.
We have plenty of lower class and folks that drag on the welfare system.
We should want and welcome those more educated and productive into our country.....I don't know anyone that has a problem with that.
It is hypocritical to push these people into the shadows when our economy depends on them. The meatpacking industry is largely staffed with illegals. During the summer fires in California, firefighting teams were organized as either "English" or "Spanish" so there would be no intra-team communication problems. 80% of the teams choose Spanish. So you want to deport the family of the guy who just saved your house?
There's an illustration of HUGE problem right there.
The US has been historically an ENGLISH speaking county. Immigrants of the past, came here, learned english and assimilated for the greater good.
There should be absolutely NO NEED for anyone to have to go out of their way to speak spanish in the US for official purposes.
That's one of the problems of letting ourselves be invaded by a horde of folks that are not coming here legally, to become citizens and assimilate into the US melting pot.
Taxing mileage is idiotic and needlessly complicated. You can accomplish raising the necessary revenue by taxing electricity in pretty much the same manner you tax gasoline today. Cross reference the registration with the electric bill if you need to know exactly whose car it is to bill properly. The increase in electric use will correspond nicely with the increased use of electric vehicles and you can adjust the rate to the amount needed to maintain the roads properly.
First, please don't believe I"m in favor of taxing things....I pay too much as it is.
But with electric cars...what do the politicians do about people with solar panels ( they are pushing that too you know)? I mean, if they generate their own electricity for the most part...there is lost tax revenue too.
Look at some of the Rolling Stones as examples of surviving a long time while being addicted but wealthy enough to support their habit.
Well, you're talking about Keith Richards.
That man really should NOT still be alive....I do think he should donate his body to science so we can figure WTF in his genes allowed him to live this long.
I will give it to you, that purity of heroin, likely does help, and did with Keith too, he had the $$.
But Keith finally had a wake up call, and said, this isn't working and quit.
He did it cold turkey, didn't whine about it, didn't go to a high dollar clinic to kick the habit, he just finally stopped.
If someone isn't wanting to finally quit...well, they kinda deserve the results of their actions at some point, no?
There are such things as lost cases....you have to accept that.
They've been experimenting here with giving some junkies heroin (in a clinic) with good results, as in people getting a job and taking responsibility for themselves. These people are self medicating their pain for a reason and to just write them off seems pretty heartless. Should we write off people who break a leg, what about with bad eyes and needing a crutch in the form of eyeglasses?
The problem is...pretty much no one in history has chosen to voluntarily break their own leg, or cause their eyes to deteriorate......unlike shooting to stick a needle of something in their arms, often having no true idea WTF it is..., you know?
Look I believe in giving everyone a chance, I really do.
Trouble is, many junkies don't even want to try that first chance at a change, they won't commit. There is something fundamentally wrong with them.
I don't generally give up on anyone that is actively TRYING. But when you see they aren't really interested in bettering themselves...well, at some point you gotta say "fuck'em"....
Tax fuel (gasoline, diesel, and/or electricity) at appropriate levels and you accomplish the sensible goal of taxing in close accordance with utilization. The bigger the vehicle and the more someone drives the more fuel they will use. Trying to track mileage via a plate is idiotic.
I think they're trying to be pro-active, and tax on mileage, for when electric cars become predominant, and don't generate gasoline tax revenues.
Hell, they're trying to do this already due to the better economy that cars/trucks are getting, that it has caused a decrease in tax revenues already.
The Discovery Channel was full of documentaries, covering a wide range of topics. Not reality TV about fishermen.
The History Channel covered historical events (at the time I thought it was a bit heavy on WWII) but that is better then fake history and covering possibility of aliens.
Cartoon Network showed a bunch of classic cartoons (in the early 2000's they had a good set of their own work too)
That's the problem, almost ALL of them have turned into "reality" tv.
The Food Channel used to have people on cooking, now...just stupid reality contests.
The Cooking Channel took over from FoodTV when they went reality and used to show cooking, but now, they're just as bad as the Food Channel.
MTV used to play music videos....reality shows now.
VH1 took over playing music when MTV quit...but then VH1 quit too.
DIY network, used to actually have shows about DIY projects and interesting things...now? Flip this house marathons.
Hell, at this point, I guessing it is only a matter of time before the Weather Channel stops showing weather, and just becomes the home of sharknado marathons or survival of the storm contests.
Something was sold that was misrepresented as a fairly harmless substance and killed 11 people.
And yes, pure heroin, sold for a reasonable price, is fairly harmless.
You GOTTA be kidding me?
Since when has heroin EVERY been a relatively harmless substance?
Continued use almost always ends up with death of the user by overdose.
it gets expensive dealing with the diseases that are encouraged by needle sharing. You are right that they shouldn't be doing drugs on the street with the quality of todays street drugs. Somewhere safer would be a good start. Ideally remove the stress of where their next drugs are coming from so they can get a job and be productive members of society.
fuck'em...let them deal with the repercussions of their own actions.
That stuff usually ends up killing you, if that's the risk they take, then so be it.
Yes we have the history of prohibition to prove you right.
Not thinking prohibition...just saying to NOT make it an inviting place to come and do heroin and meth.
Hell, I don't really think it is the govt's business what you put in your body, legalize it, but even if you did that, do NOT give out free needles, and overlook people living in your streets/sidewalks just laid out doing drugs.
Arrest them for vagrancy, doing drugs out in public could enforce those laws, basically don't make the city an inviting place to attract that type of low life from across the country, and basically subsidize their lifestyle on your streets.
If they don't like it, put them on a bus and kindly move them out of town and let them find another place.
Including Washington, despite their constant efforts to do so.
From what I've heard about the new draconian laws they've passed against 2A rights, mandatory registration of weapons is the least of the barriers they are putting up to hinder the law abiding citizens.
Well, if you quit giving out free needles, and looking the other way when heroin/meth addicts do drugs out in the streets, and build up sidelwalk shanties....and generally quit making it an inviting environment to COME to and DO drugs and live that type of street lifestyle....you will quit making it a place that invites migration of that type of crowd, and your trouble with it will start to rescind.
Why is it assumed that the sole reason for owning shares in a company is to see financial returns. For example, I invest in Tesla not wanting much of it back but rather to see people get affordable electric cars and to dramatically reduce the 40,000 people killed in traffic accidents by enabling autonomous vehicles. Making a difference like that to me is more important than making money.

Well, you don't see it because you are such a far outlier from the norm on this.
99.9999999999% of people invest for the sole reason of making money. Period.
Heck that is pretty much one of the cornerstones of why investing like this was invented.
Only one way to find out... I started the "fad" a couple weeks ago, restricting my eating time to 8 hours a day and 16 hours of fasting with some 24+ hours fasts thrown in here and there. I'm less concerted about weight loss and more focused on cholesterol and an A1C that puts my blood glucose levels on the edge of pre-diabetic. I'm decently fit and athletic, healthy diet, middle of the "healthy weight" for my height and sex. I plan to fast this way every day for 3 months, though still keeping my typical diet, and get some bloodwork done to see if my numbers improve at all. It does seem effective for weight loss even though that's not my focus. It's a much easier plan to follow than calorie restriction, I just eat when I'm hungry during my 8 hour window... but I'm not as hungry after the first few days of the fasting which is causing me to run a slight calorie deficit. Interested to see if this has any positive or negative effect on my insulin resistance and cholesterol levels, I've had bloodwork done regularly for the past 8 years so I have a pretty good baseline.
I've been trying the intermittent fasting like you described too.
However, I pretty much blew it over the Xmas/NY holidays...and starting back on that. I've also gone back low carb.
My blood is good except for triglycerides. My cardio Dr. said go low carb. I'm hoping to see if both intermittent and low carb (keto starting out) can get that last blood fat out of my numbers.
They have for decades been gathering info on first the US and later the world. They get mailing lists from the US post office. They cut the binders off US phone books and scan them. They get all the info off those warranty cards you send in, and all sorts of creative sources of information on you.
Even the US used them after 9/11 to try to hunt down people.
Hell, even major credit card companies use them to clean their databases.
I think they even now maybe own one of the credit bureaus, like Trans Union. If not owning them they are very cozy in business or used to be.
Or we could admit that these hyper agressive men are not the normal and we shouldn't tolerate frat boy behavior in a modern society.
The trouble is....the definition they're trying to use today of what a "hyper aggressive" is today.
It seems that a man acting any more 'aggressive' at all than a demur woman is now accused of being hyper aggressive.
YOu've moved the goalpost too far on us.
Asking a girl out a second time after an initial rejection is not the same as him grabbing her by the hair, pulling her into an alley and raping and killing her.
However, today, it seems they are trying to define hyper aggression as levels of actions at or below asking a woman out twice.

That's not the companies' fault....

If that's the case, why so many still shout out that "we NEED" all these illegal 'guests' in the US from our southern border?
I thought they were so desperately needed by the US food economy to pick/harvest.
If that is no longer the case, why again are people defending letting them in illegally?
I think they're trying to be pro-active, and tax on mileage, for when electric cars become predominant, and don't generate gasoline tax revenues.
Hell, they're trying to do this already due to the better economy that cars/trucks are getting, that it has caused a decrease in tax revenues already.

In MOST states, you don't have to register (document) your firearms.
Did you mean undocumented (illegal) immigrants?

Would be interesting to hear what african behaviors and such you think you might have that had them think of you as one?
