The only job I ever got through a connection was one time I worked in a mail room and they fired someone and brought their stuff down and I joked "Does that mean there's an opening?".

i have to assume that half of all jobs posted that arent like complete garbage or entry level already have a candidate in mind but they have to go through the motions so it looks above board

Most of the postings on indeed are from agencies and are super suspicious and I found out the most recent guy we were going to hire got canceled because somehow there was an agency involved? Even though he's local and I literally work with him at another hospital and I was trying to figure out why the gently caress he was using an agency (I think the most likely answer is that they somehow middlemaned his application via one of these sketchy postings). We didn't hire him because the hospital would have had to pay a $25,000 finders fee to the agency. I was like wtf just tell them to gently caress off and I referred him we literally work together at the other hospital, but then boss said no its a binding 1 year thing before he could reapply or else we gotta pay and I don't see how that could possibly be enforceable.

A Capitol rioter who was dubbed "Conan O'Riot" due to his similarity to late-night comedian Conan O'Brien has been arrested by the FBI, NBC News reported.

Derek Nelson, a former Marine, now faces four misdemeanor charges in relation to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

Nelson was released on his own recognizance on Wednesday and was ordered not to travel outside the continental U.S. without court approval. He was also banned from possessing a firearm, destructive device or any other weapon.

Nelson was dressed in a colonial outfit on Jan. 6, with "a brown tricorn hat along with a blue double-breasted button coat and red or maroon undershirt with a white scarf around his neck," according to the FBI.

In one video from the riot, a person behind the camera asks Nelson why he's there.

"To start a revolution," Nelson said. "Why are you here?”

I tell this story frequently and its not like everyone here doesnt know it already but

my parents came to this country in the late 70s. my dad was a high school dropout in the old country and my mom barely finished high school before her family got the hell out of dodge of the USSR

but they were able to buy a 3 bed room home, 2 cars, raise 2 kids and put them thru college, we took a vacation ever year and my mom only worked part time. (the biggest saving grace was my dad worked nights and my mom worked day so they never had to pay for daycare)

when i was married, my wife and i were doing pretty good, but not amazing. but we had 5 college degrees between the 2 of us, both full time white collar jobs. If it was 1975 we'd be spending our summers lighting cuban cigars with $100 bills on our yacht. instead we were taking half-assed vacations cause she had a conference in Florida where her airfare and hotel were paid for.

it's wild much hosed millenials are compare to our parents and completely incomprehnsible to imagine how hosed my kids will be

I was recruited by a bank once to be an estates liquidator, which would have been a cool job except they made me do 4 interviews then cut the pay below the amount I already made. I explained to them I had no motivation to leave my job for another, lower paying job and they harassed me for a month trying to get me to change my mind.

It made me so angry I asked to talk to the recruiters manager and tore them a new rear end in a top hat over the phone.

Anyways, the 2008 financial crisis was 6 months later and I would've probably gotten laid off then anyways.

"The courthouse I was in today, it's disgusting. It smells. You had cables running across all the walls. It's a disgrace and the fact that that's a representation of our legal system," he said. "You see the same thing at airports. I mean, how many times do you fly through an airport and you see acoustical airport tiles that are falling down, right?"

The younger Trump went on to claim that now-former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) should have let the federal government shut down because it can't do anything right. "Do I think it was a mistake not shutting down the government? 100 percent. They should've," he said. "We are running a $2 trillion deficit and our bridges are falling down and our roads suck and our trains are antiquated, they are from the 1950s."

"You look at China where they are building these bullet trains that go 300 miles per hour, we are falling behind the rest of the world," he added.
