Another tip, this may vary from location to location, they often will refill your tank when it is a recall repair so if you were going to gas up that day be sure to do it after the repairs just in case they are doing that.

I take it Madison Rising was booked for that night so they had to make due?

It would be the polite thing to do, but this is using an existing franchise and when something is not approved you (the distribution team, product manager, etc.) need to pull down all offending material ASAP and if there is no approved comment you simply tell the affected players to not post.

As a consumer, do can you directly identify where they are harming you? I'm not debating that they are bad groups, but those groups are so large and nebulous that it gets difficult to pinpoint how they are hurting you without digging.

It most likely wasn't released early but rather accidentally had the beta released early (Aussie/NZ and Canada are common test grounds for NA/International releases for apps) and they don't want someone posting and slamming/praising non-final products.

Wouldn't that also burn bridges with your old manager since that is like a massive "fuck you" to them? While they may also be competitive, speaking from personal experience, they also like to collude and pissing off one may be the equivalence of black-listing yourself.

You know they can, even if they could fall under a permissible classification like "parody", the company is small and not at all equipped for a war over the toys.

I'm guessing it didn't since he went to a different company. I would imagine if he did ask for a raise in response it was swiftly met with a "We don't have the budget for that" or "That is all we're allowed to pay for your position" (I had the second one told to me shortly before I started looking).

I don't know if I would say that is true though. Fugly sure could be a bad thing if you were trying to show it on a public server and it was being invaded, but my guess is that the reason you don't see it much in titles is just because they don't want to spend the money on a system that is more cosmetic rather than…

That wouldn't surprise me if they were basically just pumping you for information. Fake job postings by real companies are a very real issue that probably will never be fixed. Some do it because they (like you mentioned) are trying to figure out what they should be looking for, some do it to take a barometer of the…

Wow, the only logical explanations I can come up with for that is 1) Some legal rep told them that no it doesn't count/they are just trying to cover their bases or 2) Someone in staffing doesn't know what they are doing.

For state/federal jobs (and companies that contract with state/fed) they are legally required to post all openings as part of EEOC stuff.

That's actually how services like Angie's list prevent you from bypassing them by making the info only visible to paying members. I wouldn't be surprised to one day see a service site where the provider was required to route all customers through the third party or face some punitive damage.

In some cases, such as with Angie's list, everyone pays. I understand the need for some form of compensation for the services for listing/promotion and even payment processing, but there is just something unsettling when both sides have to foot the bill.

What doesn't help is that some of these companies no longer believe in enrichment and may even fear the notion of you gaining skills/knowledge and leaving their org one day. You end up with a lot of positions where unless you were doing that exact job previously, the company won't consider you for the job and…

A friend of mine was passed over for a promotion and when he went to his boss for a rundown he was told that his skills were too valuable to lose (meaning the other person's were more expendable). Which then led him to apply at other companies since he read it as being told he was in a dead-end position.

Not just groupon, but all booking services. I used to book tee-times for a local course because their newsletter would always run specials that could only be booked through the 3rd party. It was such a pain in the ass (and the fee was not great either) that I called them up one day and asked if I could get the…

Because your family is fundamental Jewish, Islam, or any other faith that forbids bacon?

Since the product only works, presumably, with a subscription, and someone at Zenimax probably has a goal of "X# of subs after first month of launch" they are trying to hedge their bets.

I think some countries (I remember hearing this was a problem for Europe) require that the $1 pre-charges are not allowed and only the full amount can be done. It also might be a means of cutting down on swipe fees, I'm not entirely sure what the fee is like when a company uses a pre-charge followed by an update or…
