  • You don’t. Stand up for your ethics and morals and leave.

    One of the best paying jobs I ever had, directly asked me to perform work that would have have damaged a customers home. When I layed out exactly how and why this was wrong and why I wouldn’t do it, they insisted I do as I was told or be fired.

    I walked off the site and never looked back.

    I ran into that old boss a while later and he told me he later realized I was right, but insisted I still should have done as I was told because he was above me and had given me direct instructions…

    Sometimes you just can’t work with people and have to move on.





  • District Attorney Jenkins said she did not envision police officers handcuffing federal agents in full view on city streets. Instead, she said, local law enforcement could review camera footage of beatings, if they occur, and try to identify the agent involved. Then, she said, she would ask a judge to sign a warrant for the agent’s arrest and seek to prosecute the agent in court.

    “For me, this is about San Francisco and what I need to do for San Francisco,” she said.

    That could be much easier said than done. Many federal agents are operating in masks and without badges or other identification; a California law barring agents from wearing masks does not take effect until January and even then is quite likely to face legal challenges. And the Trump administration could seek immunity for its officers or ignore the warrants altogether, Ms. Jenkins acknowledged.

    If you’re not going to arrest them on the spot, it’s already a failed plan. They wear masks for exactly this purpose.






  • Starting January this year, I put out aprox 400 applications: mostly online, around 30 in-person handing out resumes to anyone that’d still take one (they usually direct you to an online application if you visit in person). After 4 months, I’d had a grand total of 5 interviews. 4/5 said they had more interviews to do that day and would call me in a day or two, whether they chose to hire or not, just to follow up and let me know their decision. The 5th straight up said I’d be a fantastic fit for the team, he’s just got to confirm with another upper manager who’d be back tomorrow and they’d call me later tomorrow with a hire date and more details. None of the 5 contacted me again.

    Called the last one back a couple times and got avoided for three days until the manager finally told me they’d gone with another candidate.

    Finally in May I had a phone interview, then followed up with an in person interview and landed a job within walking distance of my home.

    Job hunting sucks.
