This kind of stuff is nothing new for IBM. Even back in the 90's. That’s pretty much how my mother lost her job at IBM. She served them diligently for 18 years working as a materials engineer. Moved halfway across the country for the job (almost moved a second time too). Then BAM, I come home from school to my mother…

I’ve seen this happen in the chemical industry as well. The result was much younger engineers and PhDs who were earnest and hardworking. Unfortunately, they couldn’t troubleshoot issues in the real world and had no ability to lead teams or communicate with each other. They were even worse at communicating with…

People are well aware that private arbitration is biased towards the company. The arbiter is unlikely to ever see the worker again yet must deal with the company over and over. An arbiter that actually does rule for workers is unlikely to get re-hired. It’s a clear scam, and the CFPB should make it illegal. Sorry,…

Strange that they didn’t mention other issues (in the article):

I did two years of workstudy in the neuropathology department at the university hospital, pediatric cancer being one of their projects at the time. One day they had me sort autopsy reports by death date. When I noticed that some of them were living less than a year, I felt the saddest I’ve ever felt in my life. …

Great Article! TMT will never be build on Mauna Kea. The Hawaiians are reclaiming their heritage, culture, and their kingdom (which was overthrown 124 years ago today). For example they have reclaimed Kaho’olawe, and they will reclaim Mauna Kea and eventually Pohakuloa. I have friends of Hawaiian lineage that worked…

I’m glad it wasn’t “intelligence” on more WMD. Russia deserves our thanks for the transparency into our political process and the quality of our candidates. I’m guessing it probably hit a little to close to home for our war criminal in chief. What about the person that leaked the Trump video? I’d like to thank them…

Exactly! So what specifically did Russia do? “They hacked!” Hacked what and did what? What did they do that influenced my vote? It’s a stretch to say an ‘Influence campaign’ is actually hacking. My definition of hacking in terms of an election would be that they actually went in and changed people’s votes. If…

This email scandal is one of the primary reasons I will NOT vote for HRC. I am a defense contractor and know the paperwork and the yearly training that is required to gain access to classified information. Proper handling of said information is drilled into your head from the moment you sign. Ignorance of the law is…

Saw this earlier today, on AOPA or another aviation list. I’m a private pilot BTW.

Gunning straight for that HR settlement no doubt. I read it more as a pop culture reference joke than a rape joke.

I feel no pity for this woman. Not once in the chat log was there anything alluding to rape, just the song. The rape portion of the song wasn’t even what they were joking about. The guy apologized MULTIPLE times, and yet she still felt the need to email Tim Cook (who by the way won’t read this petty crap anyways…

A California native, I lived in Carson City for two years. People think Carson City and Reno are dumps, but once you get to know the places and get away from the casino scene, they’re great. The infrastructure is in great shape (especially compared to California!), there’s some great neighborhoods, the cost of living…

I’ve been a resident of Northern Nevada for about 13 years now, living about 20 mins south of Reno in Carson City. As a former resident of Vegas for 10+ years and Houston for about another 20+, I cannot begin to tell you how much we like that no one else thinks too highly of Reno. It just makes it better for us that…

These are the worst presidential candidates ever. An ignorant fool or a devious liar. Who will do less harm.

I see the gawker transfer has honed your clickbait skills, mad propz!!1!

Assange was the hero of the left when he was releasing national security docs from the Bush administration, but now he's going after your girl, so he's no longer credible. It's just too perfect!

Mayers’ bathroom break strategy caught up to her once she took the job at Yahoo! as she immediately proceeded to shit all over it.
