The response is a nice copy and paste from the article but does not answer the question how the guy in Alabama ended up with the unit. That's more than a pencil or slide rule going missing, that's an 8 TON VEHICLE!

Because it hurts their narrative. The fact is there is no shortage of people graduating with STEM degrees. But there are awful lot of people with STEM degrees without jobs....

Because CS is taught in College not high school. There's a lot of business courses and programming courses one can take in high school. Move along Potsy.

LMOL you think so skippy. Ask the people at Disney or other companies that just hired about of H1B Visas workers to replace them.

You don't know what the beef is about H1B Visas? Wow. Take you head out of your ass and read the newspaper moron.

He annexed Crimea, invades the Ukraine, then shoots down a passenger airline, and you say he's not a crazy aggressor? What the fuck is your definition of a crazy aggressor.

I think people thought the same about Crimea and the incursion into the Ukrane, yet look what happened. I wouldn't put it past this ass-hole.

Like you substantiated your points. Moron.

Really, so this research is correct and the other research is not. Nice cherry picking Potsy.

What they article said is it's TOO EARLY to tell. It DID NOT say radiation exposure will not cause pediatric thyroid cancers.

Re:one word

On: Bank's Severance Deal Requires IT Workers To Be Available For Two Years (computerworld.com)

LMOL if the contract is not enforceable it's not legal. If it were legal it would be enforceable.

Re:That's what a severance package is

On: Bank's Severance Deal Requires IT Workers To Be Available For Two Years (computerworld.com)

Wrong. If an employer provides severance pay it is for years of service provided. It is not compensation for future work. That would be a consulting contract.

FYI the lawyer in the article already addressed this point so your post is meaningless.

Re:lack of information.

On: Bank's Severance Deal Requires IT Workers To Be Available For Two Years (computerworld.com)

And you have your head up your ass. The article clearly stipulates that employees received severance pay and not compensation for future work.

Re:Sure you can sign away your right to sue

On: Bank's Severance Deal Requires IT Workers To Be Available For Two Years (computerworld.com)

It's still not enforceable. Contract law is very clear you need to provide compensation. Severance pay is not compensation for consulting work. Consulting work would be a separate contract. Many corporations do that - provide consulting contracts for employees no longer in their employ.

Re:lack of information.

On: Bank's Severance Deal Requires IT Workers To Be Available For Two Years (computerworld.com)

You are making an assumption. As reported they are provided a severance package and expected to provide consulting work while not being paid.

Re:memory loss defence?

On: Bank's Severance Deal Requires IT Workers To Be Available For Two Years (computerworld.com)

Not for consulting work which this clearly is...so the bank would need to pay them. That clause would not be enforceable in court.
