There is a conflict of interest. The conflict exists, even if you choose not to favour your partner. This may be an English to German translation issue, but the interests of your partner and of your employer do not align and are thus in conflict.
There is also the appearance of impropriety, which continues to exist even when you and your partner behave in an otherwise professional manner. That appearance alone can be destructive to a team and to reputations.
You're an idiot, before the internet RPG games COMBIND both single player and multiplayer in the same game
There isn't an equivalence between LAN or BBS based RPGs and a MMORPG. Very different beasts, very different level of interaction and engagement, very different costs to run.
Shit, I was playing text based multiplayer RPGs over the internet that were written and maintained by the players and they still needed cash injections to fund servers and bandwidth. Add in 3D graphics and several million players and oddly enough the cost to operate is pretty fucking far from zero.
You lost this argument with me the other day, go and re-read that conversation instead of losing it again here.
I don't play Magic the Gathering because I'm not stupid enough to spend thousands of pounds on the cards needed to build competitive decks. It's not even the financial outlay, it's the entire business model. Fuck that.
Warhammer isn't much cheaper but at least with that you get what you're paying for.
it in a not-so-subtle racist way ascribes evil motive to an entire class of powerless and defenseless people
Well, he was wrong then. It would be the powerful people seeking to change demographics that have the evil motive, not the migrants they're using to achieve that end.
As I saif before: implying that either my spouse or I have not enough professionalism to have "no conflict of interest" is slander.
It is not professional to put yourself in a position in which you have a conflict of interest, whether you would act on that interest or not.
I do believe that you have yourself just confirmed you lack professional integrity, no slander was required.
It is unethical to promote your spouse because s/he is your spouse. It is not unethical to work in the same team/hierachy as peers, or as inferiour or superiour. And it is not unethical to promote her/him because s/he is the best for the job, either!
Unless something unethical is happening, there is no reason to interfere
You've also just proven you do not understand professional ethics, again with no slander required.
Would be easier for both of us if you could find some examples:D
My professional ethics prevent me from posting internal corporate policies on the internet and it's rather hard to prove that a law doesn't exist. Hence suggesting you prove that it does, by simply naming it.
See all the other posts here talking about conflicts of interest, unfairness to other employees, post-relationship challenges and other ethical issues. I can't be arsed repeating them all here.
I doubt that:D
Doubt it all you like. Unless you can show me the UK law that disallows such a policy I'll continue to believe the multiple companies for which I've worked that have had such a policy.
To be fair, without lend-lease the UK may have had to negotiate peace, which would've given Germany a win over their conquered territories and allowed them to focus their full resources against Russia.
It was less the time it took to work out how to decrypt it, it was working out how to decrypt it with technology support while inventing the new technology providing that support.
Annexing Austria, annexing half of Czechoslovakia, invading the other half, invading Poland, invading Holland, invading Belgium, sinking civilian ships, invading Norway, murdering their own citizens, failing to equip their army for a winter war in Russia and banning swing music.
Yeah, I reckon the Germans did a few things wrong.
In which case you stay the fuck away from it as a point of commercial principle. Great technology doesn't add value at those prices, let alone the hassle.
Anyway, how the fuck do you compile native machine code for a container running on a virtual machine on a hypervisor accessing software defined storage over a software based network?
German law may well be different. It's not EU law though, or the UK wouldn't allow such policies.
As for companies having policies, it's ubiquitous in the UK and the US. Many reasons for that, with benefits for staff, the company, its shareholders, its customers and the general public.
Wouldn't necessarily help. Everybody now knows that they have the next generation of chips ready to roll and they're only delaying them to clear out the existing stock of older chips.
So may as well wait a bit and get a new generation chip that'll be faster than the one you can buy now.
The only thing a change in price will achieve is potentially selling the top end cards to the midrange market, which would itself cause a delay in their future upgrade cycle and damage longer term earnings.
Me, I'm happy to wait. Nothing on the market is good enough yet for 4K gaming and my two year old card is still perfectly capable of running new releases at top quality at 1440p.
Most people don't associate rape with 'mooslims' or 'dirty mexican prostitution trafficers'. What sort of cunt are you to suggest that?
Incidentally it's not 'my' military. It's the US military and trust me, I criticise them plenty anyway.
I'm also aware that they're rather less rapey than a lot of soldiers. Ask the German women in Berlin whether they'd have preferred to be conquered by US or Russian forces (the answer obviously is British, but hey, we're not talking about the finest armed forces on the planet here, we're discussing America).
Incidentally if you really want to get upset about a population suffering high volumes of sexual assaults try the US prison system. Almost five times the rate of sexual assaults of the US military.
What, you want to be able to create a conflict of interest, damage staff morale through the perception of unfairness, maybe even exploit your position to take advantage of junior members of staff?
Fuck it, quit your job anyway, your company will be better off without you.
Employers have a duty of care towards their employees, they have legal obligations regarding employment and how they treat employees and they have regulatory and other obligations to address corporate risks that include amongst other things any potential conflicts of interest.
In other words, if you don't want your employer getting involved in your private life make fucking sure that what you're doing in private has fuck all to do with your employer.
Fucking a subordinate creates an immediate conflict of interest, exposes the company to multiple vectors of litigation risk, risks employee tensions due to perceived or actual favouritism and makes it fucking hard to objectively ascertain that the junior partner in the relationship is acting entirely of their own informed volition.
"Don't fuck the staff" is a far easier (and legal in the UK) policy to state and implement.
There are two million people in the US military or its reserve.
Find me any general population of two million people that has no sexual assault, and stop being an acerbic cunt trying to imply the US military is some special case.
Slashdot Mirror
In the UK those are day rates, not hourly. Not many people will get $1000/day.
Shit, the top-end consultancies are only charging $4-5k/day for their senior talent and that comes with their full support structure underneath it.
I work for blue chip companies and they just wouldn't countenance $500/hour. There just aren't individual skillsets we can't get for much cheaper.

I'm fine with that.
I don't play Magic the Gathering because I'm not stupid enough to spend thousands of pounds on the cards needed to build competitive decks. It's not even the financial outlay, it's the entire business model. Fuck that.

The Stalin comparison still holds.

Why the funk would it?

Welcome to how businesses work in countries with ethics.
It might be your right to employ your spouse but it's unethical and in the UK it's legal to stop you.
To be fair, without lend-lease the UK may have had to negotiate peace, which would've given Germany a win over their conquered territories and allowed them to focus their full resources against Russia.
Well, since you ask.. No, Germany do not have nuclear ballistic missiles, and yes the UK (and France) do.
Makes the effectiveness of the Leopard tank line pretty fucking irrelevant.

Fuck the billboard pop chart, it was a disco staple for a decade here.
Maybe you're too young, too antisocial or just too forgetful to have got the reference but it was pretty obvious for many of us.
I find restaurants at which I'm a regular do things like free coffee, but I also make sure the manager is aware and happy with it.
Usually it's the manager serving me themselves. Restaurants appreciate repeat customers.
My local restaurant is owned by its staff so the waiters are also the owners.
In which case you stay the fuck away from it as a point of commercial principle. Great technology doesn't add value at those prices, let alone the hassle.
Don't buy Oracle.
Yeah, it's not being a control freak, it's recognising the real world limitations of the average developer.
In 1998, yes. Since then? It's use case specific.
Anyway, how the fuck do you compile native machine code for a container running on a virtual machine on a hypervisor accessing software defined storage over a software based network?
Man complaining about sexual assault demands twice non-consensual sex from another person.
Forget the military, try fixing yourself first.
German law may well be different. It's not EU law though, or the UK wouldn't allow such policies.
As for companies having policies, it's ubiquitous in the UK and the US. Many reasons for that, with benefits for staff, the company, its shareholders, its customers and the general public.
The work contract includes 'comply with corporate policies'. Corporate policy is "don't fuck your subordinates".
Perfectly legal.
Wouldn't necessarily help. Everybody now knows that they have the next generation of chips ready to roll and they're only delaying them to clear out the existing stock of older chips.
So may as well wait a bit and get a new generation chip that'll be faster than the one you can buy now.

They don't. They can quit their job instead.
