Yeah, it was good. Spent much of yesterday in the garden. I had to wash one of the dogs because he rolled in crap. Then had to wash him again when he still stank.
global warming effects are being more and more visible
Question: Is my future employer allowed to contact someone from my current organization (though personal channel, not via reference mention on CV) and seek my professional work feedback?
I believe that is completely unethical and somewhat illegal?
@GregoryCurrie Nope, it's not about looking for a job while being employed or not. It's about (1) not believing what a potential employee is stating (2) depending on unauthorized source of information.
I want to hear from the people the candidate doesn't want me to hear from
Anyway, with the mass redundancies, it's likely that the old employer will be asked by the new employer who the good people are. If they are a close as suggested.
But not trusting the employee isn't an ethical thing anyway
@GregoryCurrie So, why ask for references, in first place? Is not it likely that anyone will produce someone as reference whom they know that will be saying positive things?
I'm just angry at myself for going 1.5years nicotine free and then fall again after my father's death and not being able of quitting
I'll have to ... I'm about to start a job where we help people whose lung diseases are mainly caused by smoking. That wouldn't be very serious to keep on smoking.
While I agree it seems to be more a comment than an answer, some other answers such as Solar Mike's one are similar, pointing out alternatives
Solar Mike basically just says that speech to text can help and get 15 upvotes, so why would a similar answer (use shortcuts to work only with keyboard) be considered as bad answer?
@Snow I deleted the answer here: https://workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/132259/how-do-you-respond-to-a-colleague-from-another-team-when-theyre-wrongly-expecti/132265
It seemed a lot of people were very upset that I stole half a sentence from someone else. I don't want there to be any sadness so hopefully we as a community can somehow move past this.

I work night shifts with a co-worker who would always sleep or never be at work.
She is friends with the administrator (our boss) who showed her signs of extreme favoritism.
After two months of encouraging her to improve, I sent an anonymous video to Corporate and included detail...
@GregoryCurrie I've deleted lots of my own answers when it became apparent that someone else said something that I did, but only better (or if I had inadvertently got entirely the wrong idea about what the question was all about). Sometimes I deleted fairly decent answers that somehow got derailed due to comments.
Answers are majority opinions, even though there is an opinion based close. Everyone has their own answer which, when not based off facts is pretty much personal belief
Some people agree, some don't. If there was a real answer to questions and situations there would only be a need for one answer to each question. Everybody has their own interpretation on what to do in specific scenarios
Well, I don't care about that. I'd speak about the business need. Is there resourcing available to train two grads. Will the budget inflate next year to keep them, or will you lose them? What type of work needs to be done? etc.
Maybe if the question should be "What are the factors that should be considered when comparing two graduate developers or an experienced developer?"

Oh, that's what happened to the "sleeping on the job" question.
I think the "long version" needs to be removed. Most cups of coffee don't last long enough to read that questions. Besides, people need to answer questions, not read stories.
There is a hot network question with nearly 40k views and more than 100 upvotes about an engineer refusing to file patents.
Anyone familiar with the process of filing patents will know the whole story are fabricated, and the OP has no idea about filing patents. From the question:
