@jmac yeah, but it seems to partially answer the question, specifically the part about how to keep stuff protected would be answered by using that site, it was an edge case, just wanted to be sure i was being 'fair'
I'm been a software developer/engineer for over 30 years. My problem
is that at the very small company I work for, I haven't been able to
keep my skills current. The specific skills I've been using on the job aren't
skills that are in much demand elsewhere, and there's not much
prospect of bein...
I am a chemist who has recently been contacted by a former supervisor to interview at her current company.
My current company has strict deadlines (clinical trials) to meet and is reviewing all requests for paid leave. The company has denied several coworkers requests "for business reasons" (th...
@gnat If this question is getting a lot more attention from the hot list, I think that is worse than the previous behavior. It currently has 30 points, 8 upvotes, 2 answers with a total of 18 upvotes, and is 10 hours old
@gnat (2 * 8 + 5 + 18) / 6 ^ 1.4 = 39 / 12.28 = 3 or so -- the equation has definitely changed.
@gnat Sorry, not worse. That is a lie (because it isn't a bad question and doesn't have bad answers). But I dislike hot questions in general. So perhaps it's just bias talking.
@rhys, @enderland, @chad (@et. al) -- do you think there would be merit to doing a bounty a day (week?) for the best edit on that day? Or would that encourage people to make stupid edits? Take the delay interview question above -- the effect of the edit is far greater than any answer I could have given, encouraging people to think of quality rather than rep could have good consequences (by encouraging them with rep)
@RhysW Yeah, I get that part. At the same time, I would post it on meta and in here (so the rabble wouldn't read it most likely), I wouldn't make it an 'absolute' (I would 'encourage' regular users to reward good edits with bounties on other answers by that person), and I wouldn't award it for gaming efforts (nor do I think anyone else would)
What is the best way to approach the company that wants to interview me about delaying the interview?
Most companies should be flexible on this, did the company you want to interview not say, "what dates would work" or "does date XX work?"
I think you are making this into a much bigger deal...
After reading several posts here, I realized that negotiating your salary once you get an offer is a good practice.
During an inteview I did last week for an entry-level job, the manager asked me about my salary expectations. Once he got the figure, he said they could not match it because they h...
I have a colleague who keeps interfering in my work. Basically, she is used to the place being smaller where she was in control and likes to order everyone else around. Up to now I have managed to keep out of her way but recently, she took it upon herself to redesign my processing systems. I am c...
@RhysW SE community manager here. Just wanted to drop by and thank you for the in-depth question evaluation write-ups you posted on meta. I love seeing that sort of involvement from "regular" users. :)
@RhysW I missed this - sad! I've had a couple people tell me I should try to get a position created for myself. Might investigate taking them up on that...
I stole a box of pens from the office workroom today. However, I noticed that each of the pens had been replaced with an empty pen of a random assorted variety. It appears someone has already beat me to this box.
@RhysW to fight off swashbuckling cutlass-wielding pirates who want to steal our stuff of course! The pen is mightier than the sword, so a box of pens must be an apocalyptic weapon!
Currently, I am working in a nice position within my field of study as a temporary worker. It has been discussed multiple times that my direct supervisor would like to bring me on full-time, and it sounded like the local HR personnel would as well, but the company just got recently acquired by a ...
@Chad justquit answers? Anyone can throw crap like that. Heck I can throw justquit answers 20 a day - that's probably main reason why I am not doing so...
Since I'm one of the persons that supplies this answer from time to time, I'll describe my thinking:
There are people that can be persuaded, and those that are immutable to any suggestion or entreaty. If someone is not paying attention, or simply cannot, for whatever reason, alter course in a s...
@RhysW I have seen lots of suggestions on meta to reward non-rep-rewarded behavior that way. I don't think it should be an issue so long as the answer is decent, no? It doesn't affect ordering at all, and we could award to the top answer that person has (which would likely be a decent one)
