This isn't scare mongering. Just my opinion about how things are going to go from someone who lived through Reagan and both Bushes. The main theme of right wing parties is to reduce government, but their stated goal of reducing taxes

Find another job. Who are you going to raise your concerns to? It is standard practice in management positions, maybe all positions, to leave when someone is promoted over you. This is also the standard way managers are "fired.&quot

Trump is going to shut this down unfortunately. I don't think people have really come to terms with what is going to change. If there is anything digital that needs done, some republican backed defense contractor is going to do it fo

What is an "academic H1B?" Students get a F1 visa, people with real credentials get a J-1 or O-1 visa.

It's not only obscene but completely racist and violates employment law in a very open and flagrant way. There should be a lot more lawsuits like this: http://www.computerworld.com/article/3137500/it-careers&

Businesses will just lie about where the person is working. Also this is probably not constitutional. If the rate were left up to states to set it might be constitutional, but places like CA and WA would just set their rate to $60k, 50% b

Obviously this labor office couldn't play the same game with Google because Google has large offices all over Asia that have 100% asian workforce and 100% asian applicants.

They want names and contact information of all 2015 and 2014 employees to go with the money. You don't need that to compare wages.

This is the same office that is shaking down Palantir for not hiring more than 44% of Asian engineer applicants. Asians only make up 4.4% of the population. Looks like they're trying to find out who's got money at Google.

All a programmer has to do to show his or her real power is utter the words 'I quit.' Then all the obviously more intelligent and better looking managers and business people start to lose their shit.

cyanoacry just learned another viewpoint. If you work in a heavily political environment, a process heavy environment, or one in which the "calculations" are not appreciated, then yes, your viewpoint would be to put down the keyb

Maybe things are different in India, but why did you think HR is going to help you? HR is absolutely worthless to non-management employees. Its a totally corrupt profession. My policy is if I absolutely have to talk to HR and can't

I saw the exact same app circa 1996 sans the web stuff. Our professor was trying to force this on us because it was his big research idea. It's not overlooked, just a really old idea that didn't pan out 20 years ago.

This cracks me up. An anonymous chat app that immediately authenticates its users. They are probably selling your chat messages back to employers behind closed doors.

I don't think they dreamt up the idea with an amoral viewpoint. This was probably seen as a new moral high point in civil society. Before this people were simply slaves. Now they could work for their freedom.

Our marketing department is literally making its revenue by adding hundreds of trackers and ads to our site, which goes counter to the goal of the actual business of selling our goods and services. I call that skimming. Marketing has taken

Its not as simple as money in, progress out. Nations have unlimited money because they can print as much as they want, inflation aside. If their workforce can't do something, no amount of money will make it happen. Further there are

My method is this: - make a todo list - give each item a cost to get it done or level of effort 0.5 - 4 hours - find out how much actual time I have - budget out that time to each item in 0.5 hour increments - optionally make a schedule Got

Satya Nadella was born in India. I am 100% sure this policy is not going to apply to Microsoft's nine offices in India which are 100% one race. If you don't think this is about anything other than using race politics for corpora

A PM is what companies used to call a business analyst. These days companies inflate titles so everybody has manager in their title.

Companies have this ridiculous idea that you have to either be a PM or a developer but you can't be both. Virtually everybody in an organization except developers wants to reinforce the view that developers are just dumb coders who&#x

The sad thing for Trump supporters is Trump wants visa slaves and fruit pickers just as bad as liberal elites. I predict no changes on immigration policy over the next few years.

Well tens of millions of "stupid hicks" are about to lose their health insurance. How is that for a "good fact"? Sorry for being smug.

Why is that bizarre? It looks like a major passage to me. In a nuclear first strike scenario you want your nukes to be right at the front door so hopefully you can take out some silos before they launch. The militaries of the world have n

You can't limit devs from prod servers. The obvious answer is to hire honest people. The place I work processes millions per day. No one is going to risk their $100k+ job to steal whatever the ACH limit is.
