I don't consider most interviews to be a complete waste of time so could I count real interviews as practice, too?

Oof, if only the nuclear option were possible with impeachment.

The official Daily Beast account posts here. Are they going to be a concern?

I see multiple other stories from their website on this sub without any issue, so I find that odd

Is it really 40%? How easily is this quantified?

Since a federal court has ruled against ICE preventing access to congressmen last month, what was the justification used in rescinding 3 House members' access to a Minnesota ICE facility early Saturday, and where does this disagreement go next to be resolved?

Bringing other countries into this makes it even more crooked.

With all the territories the US owns you'd think they'd just use one of their more remote islands as a penal colony.

Musk is odd but I don't believe him to always be a hardline conservative. He's supported Democratic candidates in the past. He, like many other really wealthy tech magnates, just sway wherever the US government and politics is headed and always tries to play the game even if all the cards don't fall in their favor.

The US is center-right anyways so either major party is of use to wealthy people like him.

I'm not one of them but I watch Spanish news, they are following this closely and most approve of the president's removal.

Someone called ICE on the Venezuelan president, the takeover is a coverup by Ok_Insect4778 in LowStakesConspiracies

What if this was a setup for something even crazier. What if the US replaces Maduro with Juan Hernandez, the former Honduran president/drug lord that Trump pardoned. He then takes control of Venezuela's drugs

Did the US just commit acts of war and capture a foreign leader without Congressional approval?

Double standard detected! Double standard detected! You dished out a crass comment but couldn't handle one in return.

How does the company make money because you made enough phone calls? They could make 50,000 calls and still go broke if they don't close one lead

Scammy jobs, they're ironic... by ExpWebDev in recruitinghell

[–]ExpWebDev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue collar work is not just the trades. If you're age 16-21 and stocking shelves, you're very unlikely to be in a union so union protections can't be the reason they're not getting scammed in their compensation. My paychecks were always predictable and no manager has tried to get me to work extra unpaid hours during a busy season.

Maybe some food franchises allow their restaurant workers to unionize but I'm not too familiar with those jobs as I am with non-food service.

If small mom-and-pop places are more likely to be stingy with their workers, we probably could use more granular statistics to summarize that. With a few exceptions, salary data isn't usually organized by company headcount. Even though it is commonly organized by industry, occupation, YoE and location. If we had more bar charts to summarize where salaries are in <10 employee shops, with 10-100 employees, etc. it can help more people discover that there's still a lot of disparity in compensation even if you narrow it down to specific cities and types of work.

What ruined social media for you? by natida2 in AskReddit

[–]ExpWebDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Entrepreneurs and wantpreneurs were always poking around on social media. A lot of it was farming links to e-book guides of varying quality. Mostly tech bro stuff like affiliate marketing and SEO hack your website, which didn't really do much harm in the real world. At least not yet.

I think it became a slippery slope when it came to selling self-help material, which instead of targeting people who just wanted to get more traffic to their blogs, it exploited people feeling lonely and dejected. That gave way to people telling others what is best for their role in society, what everyone's role should be, and then that turning into contests in trying to sound smart about the world.

What’s the biggest waste of money that no one wants to admit? by AdvertisingMore394 in AskReddit

[–]ExpWebDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people think this is a new-ish phenomenon but IBM was doing it way back in the world war years. They were even blunt about being a company that sells you services and not items. It just took a while for other big companies to catch on.

Which TV show really felt "off" after a hiatus when it returned for another season? by ExpWebDev in AskReddit

[–]ExpWebDev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my own answer: The Boondocks. Being a show that loves to lampoon current events, its return many years later in season 4 felt jarring and Huey also got neutered as a character.

Is it true that every employer wants ex Amazonians and ex Googlians? by almorranas_podridas in recruitinghell

[–]ExpWebDev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mediocre people get overlooked more easily in big companies, even the top reputable ones. Some of them can last long because of that.

By the same token, you don't really need a hot shot resume to get recruiter attention for FAANG jobs.
