Why assume employment issues begin (and end) with an employee? Leaders dictate company culture. What about failed M&As? Corporate collapses, defunct airlines, bank failures, etc.? See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_c… and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_l…

There certainly are great reasons for that - employee misclassification, wage theft, harassment, and culture starts at the top. I’ll add one more anecdote to these - the hiring manager saying “I love you” to the coworker who yanks your papers from your hands as you sit at your desk. Then there are HR “professionals”…

Never heard a hiring manager and especially HR to be interested in honesty and integrity.

Is there a list of best questions to ask Ebay sellers, or any sellers?

Oh god. My 400E has 275 hp, just FIVE more than a Hyundai. I love my car. I love my car.

Mechanics do not hear what shop managers tell your customers therefore customers’ expectations <> mechanics’ abilities.

Related non JL service story: I accompanied my girlfriend to a Cadillac dealer to inquire about the 100,000 mile service listed on a price board at $199. The shop manager informs it includes spark plug replacement - only - with standard AC Delco plugs. Those were $1 each retail then. I inquired about the price…

I qualify and apply for government jobs. I have not received one yet. I’d like to think the government’s interviewers recognize my integrity as above their look-the-other-way limit.

What feasible solution would make this car GREAT dd? Engine/trans swap? Aren’t we Jalops? What would make this work?

Could work - goat tastes great.

That thing purrrs. The car is nice too.

Talk about fast cash.

Steve - would you please deconstruct what the dealer might have been doing in this instance? I bought AND paid for sight-unseen Ebay used car from “well-regarded” Florida independent dealer. Title not in hand when I arrived to pick up car three weeks later, as we agreed. It arrived in mail one month later. What was…

Resembles my story - bought AND paid for sight-unseen Ebay used car from “well-regarded” seller. Title not in hand when I arrived to pick up car three weeks later, as we agreed. It arrived in mail one month later. What was really going on? Yes, there’s stupid and naive all over. What should I do differently regarding…
