  1. I would told them ….” , I got a book of them, which I actually follow , but I keep my notes on my black book at home , and locked up. “. And watch their reaction.

  2. FEDEX isn’t an union shop. UPS is. Hence why they get away with this sort of practices. And I am not affiliated with unions.

  4. This was a common practice in medieval Europe. It’s apprenticeship. Things have changed, even there. Dramatically.

  5. And there is more. Unless your wife is Chinese ( most kitchen positions are male only in China ) they have enough Chinese folks around to actually take up on these jobs, while getting paid. There are off course , ships at the ports with illegal labor coming from far east.

  6. It goes back to Don Draper meeting the Hilton CEO “ asking one for free “. Which Don replied , “ ….What you want me to tell you ? It is my job , and you would not be in your position if you done things for free. “ The polite favor was … “ I don’t think people want a mouse associated with a hotel. “. That’s free sample. The rest comes for pay.

  7. In times of scarce cheap money , as of now , all those pie-in-sky cloud & tech companies are suspecting . Before you book any interview , or if needed during the interview ,make sure to ask this simple question …. “How does your business earn its money ? “. Or for that matter , “where the money comes from ? “. They have to explain to you in a way you can understand and figure if it makes any sense to you. You are looking for ways your prospective employer generates cash flow. Anything short of a sound business practice , it is either money laundering, or some of those sketchy startups due to fold. And try as often to answer questions with another question. And open ended questions ( not simply yes or no ). For those who, right out of the bat, start asking for the moon … One one way to do is to resort to the old , if I do this for you, would you do that for me ? The game is , up the ante until they come to their senses and either are fair to you or stop at their tracks. Also pay attention on body language and how their answers are formulated. You want to spot a liar. In closing , pack a hankie at your shirt or coat pocket. As soon as they start pleading poverty , gently pull it out , looking warmly into their eyes , and hand the hankie to them. And if they don’t get it, explain calmly where you come from, it is good manners to offer a hankie to one who is crying. Remember lads and lasses , this is a game. Don’t get mad, just play the game at their court. If you don’t get the job offer , at least you had some amusement at their expense , and a good war tale to tell your friends over beer.

  8. Get the median salary from other sources , add 10% over and submit to them. If they can’t meet your terms, then make yourself unavailable. Escorts ( call girls ) do this all the time. There are plenty willing Johns to take them on asking rates.

  9.  @samanthahardy9903  I see. You are not a 1099. But there are pimps, madams, and brothels. They take a percentage for protection against johns and all the legal issues with soliciting and pandering. And client selection . You need to trade your time for a paycheck, fringe benefits , and stability, and a work environment you are comfortable with. I get it. The point I made was … if they are going to ask you for upfront work, then ask for upfront retainer. Prostitutes ask upfront money to get the conversation going. There is , before a sexual act. Cab drivers take you around on a metered ride. Outside the Metro Limits , say 25 miles , it is a flat rate , and it is money up front. The point of asking upfront money is to evade scammers and cheapskates. Even contractors do this ( 50/50). I would suggest you to catch a few videos on Mad Man. Specially involving Don Draper (Conrad Hilton meet ) , Peggy Olson ( shaking money from Roger on a Friday afternoon for weekend campaign work on Mohawk Airlines ). There are some nuggets there. Sometimes you have to push these Freddie Freebies over the cliff. And you will land your dream job , if you get bold. Trust me.

  10. Like James Veetch. That could parlay into a stand up comic gig if you have the chops.

  11. It would be easy if these companies presented some lines of code in print and asked you to write remarks on picked up errors. And take to the hiring manager.

  12. Hookers have more wisdom than your soon to be prospective co workers.

  13. Lex Luthor is pure evil.
