2 years seems excessive, but it depends on why they don't want you around, what your position is and if there's a no-compete clause in your contract. Sometimes the reasons you shouldn't be around are purely political and have nothing to do with your performance.

IMHO, Hondas suck and Nissans are awesome. But even if they didn't, having a superior product doesn't entitle anybody to be a douche-bag. Especially not a salesperson. The supply and demand figures for Hondas have never been such that the attitude of the Honda representative did not matter.

I had just gotten back to my hotel from hanging out with some salespeople, so perhaps it is my fault for intoxication, but it was not clear to me based on the contents of your post that you were referring exclusively to SCOTUS justices. I'm over my monthly limit on NYTimes link reading, so I hope you'll pardon me for…

Old Testament fundamentalism or New Testament fundamentalism? They're kind of different. The new testament lacks a bunch of badass stories in a similar vein to being told to cut off all the foreskins of 100 enemy men and the guy is all like "Fuck it, I can do better than that" and you end up with 200 foreskins. That's…

You must not have met any liberals. Every person of any political persuasion I've ever discussed politics with has a distinct "My political convictions are the only correct convictions, everyone else should shut up about it" flavor to their stance on acceptable speech. It is human nature to want free speech for me,…

I popped in at 18, if I'd stayed in I could have retired full bennies at 47! It sure was a generous retirement program.

Yeah, the government pension plan I had makes it really shitty to try walking away. 401(a) plans can technically be rolled over into IRAs/401(k)s but the process is difficult and they get to make all the rules. Thankfully 3 years isn't too big of a hit starting out.

Government by people afraid of an angry mob would definitely be better than government afraid of nothing

While that is true, what you've failed to consider is that "Angry Mobs" are far closer to the States and Municipalities they live in than they are to DC, with the notable exception of some residents of DC and MA/VA/PA/DE.

I got out after 3 years, I couldn't take it anymore. Fighting for change, or even just to do things right the first time, was so difficult and painful that the relative job security wasn't worth it.

And just think, those people have more information about your identity than your family.

That system is:

Promoting the use of physical books in libraries is not equivalent to decrying the use of electronic books. We don't have to have a debate here, as long as we all love to read.

I dunno mate, Janet's voice has extraordinary control over whether or not the NY stock market decides to shit it's bricks. If she says "oh shit, we're fucked" the market reacts by literally engineering that fucking itself. When the stock market fucks itself, the real economy responds by fucking itself in turn, which…

Evidence against your statement that she's smarter than them: She is an economist. They are politicians.

Or physically borrowing books from your local library

I may not be Rosa Parks, but I'm also not a cable customer either. #victory

If you think the law is morally wrong, you have an obligation to break it. That's how every landmark civil rights case in history got to the SCOTUS.

Alright Robert D Marcus, we understand the economics of bundling. You're wrong though, because you've ignored supply and demand. If nobody wants the shitty channels, they'll either have to charge so much to the people who do want them that they'll fold from constantly decreasing demand or they'll have to lower their…
