An Indian software engineer recently went viral for holding four remote startup jobs at once, working up to 140 hours per week. He reported earning $30,000 to $40,000 per month, which totals about $480,000 annually. He described himself as a "serial nonsleeper," coding nearly non-stop to manage all his roles.
Please don’t support a company that’s bribing the president with the promise to crack down on artistic expression, compromise 1st amendment rights and obstruct hiring practices that respect diverse backgrounds.
Please. I’m asking nicely.
(Yes this IS actually violating first amendment rights. The 1st amendment protects not from backlash against lazy and offensive “jokes” or getting blocked or being subject to moderation but rather against censorship from the government, which bribing the president with promises to adhere to his personal political agenda CERTAINLY is.)
The FCC approved the transfer of CBS licenses to Skydance's ownership group, paving the way to the merger of Skydance and Paramount.
why do all firms try to hire the best talent? That talent is surely overpriced. Some firms should explicitly try to hire the incompetent at low wages, and advertise as such, so the incompetent know where to apply.
If I was looking to work, I would be real tempted by an advertisement saying they were looking for incompetent employees because then I would know that I didn't need to try so hard. (both in the application and if I was hired)
Sidenote: also been thinking about removing my address from my resume. In a large non diverse city like Memphis, you can easily tell what race a person is based on zip code.
75% of Americans say it’s important for companies and organizations to promote racial and ethnic diversity in their workplaces, but only 24% think race or ethnicity should be considered in hiring and promotions.

question for my paper (preferably with sources if you know the answer): what’s the legality of hiring people based on their sexuality/gender identity? Like as a diversity thing, wanting to specifically hire someone who is LGBTQ+? I’m considering including it in my paper about problems at youth shelters and specifically looking for people in the community in a house that isn’t centered on that vs one that is specifically for the LGBTQ+ community (does that even make sense???)
Credit checks, questions on salary history, and other invasive questions all constitute perfectly legal but discriminatory hiring practices.
Beware These 5 (Perfectly Legal) Discriminatory Hiring Practices
One of our most popular articles to date is our list of illegal job interview questions. In that post, we explained how how there are laws in place to mitigate discriminatory hiring practices. An employer can’t ask a job candidate’s age, for example, to avoid ageism when hiring.
If you’re on the job hunt, you should familiarize yourself with the questions a potential employer can’t ask you. Know your rights lest you unwittingly allow an employer to use your personal demographics (rather than your job qualifications) to exclude you from a job opportunity.
Yet despite all the things an employer can’t legally ask in a job interview… some weaselly fuckers still find ways to introduce bias into their hiring practices. In fact, a lot that can happen during job applications and interviews probably should be illegal… but isn’t.
Let’s go over some discriminatory hiring practices that are somehow still legal. Y’know, before we get to the inevitable pro-labor call to action. ¡Viva la revolución, comrades!
