come work for the government, we're unionized and hr is terrified of getting sued for discrimination or workplace injuries

I told the story of someone I know in HR whose project, that had a whole team, with administrative assistant and students assigned to it, was a program to promote the hiring and advancement of Inuit mathematicians within a government agency.

As in, Mathematics (MA) job code civil servants, which is usually a doctoral level training in mathematics, though they'll accept a masters. The pay's not bad, it starts at 72 a year, but... things are really bad in northern Canada. Only 48% of Inuit people complete high school, I think it's fair to guess that the rate for completing an advanced education in math is much lower. So, this is a pool of... idk, not many people.

Which is perfect for a make-work project, right? They got to speak at all of these events, and talk about their goal of making a difference to the Inuit people, connecting mathematics to "Inuit ways of knowing and being", but... the cynic in me thinks they had no intention to identify or recruit a single person.

I think he had a job that involved denying coverage, but was able to get a different job that is just filing paperwork into spreadsheets for mid 6 figures. Him and his wife pull in over 7 figures a year lol

Can someone explain the dynamics of the Trump thread?

I've never understood who those people are or why they post here, I just notice when they show up in other threads and have absolutely birdbrained opinions.

PFC is very funny. He was legitimately super poor, got some jobs that have given him bank, and is slowly morphing into straight three olives.

Dude loves to post about some top of the line $1k toaster oven he buys and then complain about inflation in doom econ

It's just a very large and fast-paced chat thread with a lot of posters who spend the majority of their time there. I don't get why the thread about Donald Trump related news turned into what it did but it did

Don't forget he was also very outspoken about his displeasure st trump's immigration policies because he is a 2nd generation immigrant, but supports biden's sensible immigration policies.
