Just by existing this should be a HUGE embarrassment to Comcast management. And they wonder why they get rated worst customer service in the entire country.

I have worked for a dozen companies over a 40 year span, and have not once had anything stolen. Chairs would get borrowed when you were not at work, but you just retrieved your chair from wherever it had wandered when you got back. I see these kind of posts and wonder about the company culture involved.

Coincidense? I am eating one of these right now. At least I will know why when it happens.

And it is damn near impossible to get the drugs used in other countries approved by the FDA because of the big pharma lock on the FDA.

The US is not the only country that researches and develops drugs, However, the big pharma control what the US FDA can approve by not submitting anything but their own drugs for approval. If a drug is used in other countries, the FDA may never get a chance to approve it for use in the US because of the not invented…

It is the MBAs that decide the pricing based on how much they can squeeze out of us. ( MBA mantra is maximize profits) NOT the doctors or researchers. By raising the price of one perscription I am supposed to be taking to over $300 a month - and that is just the co-pay after my insurance pays their share. On Social…

And this is the reason so many people think we need a business person to run the country? The very people who have already showed us how greedy they are and how little they care for the average person? Yup, Trump, & Fiona are really gonna fix the greed that big business has been known for the last few decades. Or will…

From what I have read about magic, Kindergatners can be harder to fool than adults because they don’t have the preconcieved ‘You can’t do that’ mentality that most adult have yet.

Unfortunately, they don’t always use the right code and that can cost you a bunch. My GF went in to the emergency room with a broken leg. It was a spiral fracture that required 3 surgeries and a metal rod in her leg. The REALLY STUPID person who coded it put it as just a broken leg - the bill was over $30K - the…

Where I was, most gas stations were limiting customers to 10 gallons. And some were charging for the full 10 if you topped off with less. (Illegal, but they did it anyway) I was travling for a living at the time and often had to get 10 gallons at least every day. There was one station near my office where I had always…

A good friend of mine, Jewish and now deceaced went to lunch with me one day, and after studying the menu declared that if Christians could turn water into wine then a good Jew could turn bacon kosher, and proceeded to order a BLT.

The reason Zuckerberg wants everyone on FB is because selling their information to anyone and everyone is how he makes his money. People scream about the NSA collecting private information, but fall all over themselves to give that same info away on FB. NSA is going to keep your info in a vault where very few…

With toys like this WHY are bond villians trying to take over anything? What are they going to do that can possibly beat this?

My GF’s brother parked his car when he went to college - in 1964. It is a 1936 Ford 5 window coupe that his father bought new in 1936. They still have the original bill of sale - I think it was something like $800. It has something wrong with the planetary gear and he just never got around to fixing it. Everything on…

That emphasis is yours, not mine. I doubt that even at that time other IBM interviewers took that approach. At the time I was shocked at the way he conducted an interview. But within a few days it was funny. Today, I realize he was likely one of many people during that era who had a knee jerk reaction to anyone who…

I was in a data center in the early 70s and watched an IBM engineer go under the raised floor wearing his suit, including the jacket more than once. It was filthy under there. The data center manager offered to loan him a coverall, but he said it wasn’t allowed. I hope IBM covered his cleaning bill. The dark suit,…

IBM 67% favorable? They must have improved quite a bit since my interview in 1971. To be fair, I was interviewing for a position to repair the old selectric typewrites and not their computers. But I hoped to eventually move into computers. I was just 2 weeks out of the Marine corps. When I walked into the interview…

The corelary is the people who show up at meetings that really don’t need to be there. And then take up a part of the meeting to babble about stuff they have no real knowlege of just to show everyone how smart they think they are and to make suggestions on stuff that doesn’t concern them at all.

I too have been involved with several fortune 100 companies, and as a one time MBA candidate have seen the effect that a CEO policy can have. Laying off the entire R&D department and canceling all R&D at one company allowed them to show the board a profit for several years during an economic downturn. At the cost of…

Very good indeed - Now if we can just get other branches of medicine to cooperate with each other instead of fighting tooth and nail to keep their secrets from other researchers we may be able to get back to actually curing diseases again.
