    I completely disagree. It isn't a complex issue and companies don't get to decide whether to "allow" politics or not. Politics are a part of EVERYTHING... Ignoring and trying to mo…

    I'm also profoundly deaf, using two BTE hearing aids as well and your comment is 100% what I'm frustrated with as well. My hearing aids are CONSTANTLY "adjusting" noisy environment…

    I disagree in a way... If my cost of living and all other expenses don't change, and I just switch jobs and instantly got a 20% salary increase... Whether I'm making a $30k salary …

    It's exactly this mindset that creates such a huge plastic problem. You aren't wrong, and you shouldn't feel guilty either. People in charge of deciding packaging should be taking …

    I think what gets a lot of people too, in addition to this math, is that they think "Oh, 6 pints or less per week is safe? I'll have them all on Saturday then." There really need t…

    It's unfortunate that so many recruiters have this mindset. Instead of judging based on the time spent at places, ask why they're bored and what they would enjoy working on. If tha…

    The "benefit" portion of that statement is that the employers typically take on a portion of that cost so it's reduced for the employee. Have you ever filed taxes as a freelancer? …

    Rental cars are hit or miss. You either end up with the one that didn't get much use outside the average business trip... Or the car that was abused. My last car was an ex-rental c…

    How would one even go back and delete as much of their information as possible from services like Google, Facebook, etc? It's a scary future to imagine, and I think a big reason ma…

    It's a great process to have too. Hire personalities that fit and work well with teams, and train them to be the ideal candidate instead.
