OT: Things we find freaking neat but no place to post

[blindbaby]

I had a long speech all typed up, but didn't want to get too far into it.
however, as you asked: I think it is an absolutely ridiculous and dangerous notion that people should have carte blanche to be absolutely and utterly evil as long as they are not on the clock, and it will not reflect on their workplace. can you be a cyber-bully, but it's OK because it's not between 9-5? can you go to Klan meetings, but it's OK because its on weekends? does that not reflect on your company? as an employer, do you want a retail representative on the floor who you know make no bones about being a vocal racist or homophobe? I sure wouldn't.

It's also why I believe the generation growing up today on facebook are complete and utter morons when it comes to personal PR. Whenever I have been involved with hiring someone, yes I sure as fuck check out their facebook / twitter life. If they are retards / drunks / racist / trolls in that setting, they are not getting a call back. If they dumb enough to not KNOW that airing that publicly could affect their professional life, that's just another reason they not getting a callback.

so yeah,

oh, also.... caaanoonnnnbaaaallllll

I remember working for places that if you weren't a homophobe and didn't at least condone racism to some degree, you probably weren't getting hired. At very least, you would be run off the grounds.

Times have changed.

I was just sitting in a conference call that included a bunch of people that report directly to the CEO of this company we are working with. One of them gave this inspiring bit of manager babble and someone, apparently thinking they were on mute, said "Wow. That's some straight up Yoda shit".

I had to check that I was on mute before bursting out laughing. Made my day.

speaking of pizza

That might just be the pinnacle of food. Hot dog in a pizza.... that's it. No where to go but down.

Rep was the new pizza. We've only gone back to what was previously considered the golden crust standard.

I couldn't find the FHL thread I made... But here is a cool article on some stuff the Danbury team here in CT is implementing.

its kinda like the Sears Christmas Dream/Wish book catalogue (those still exist?) having Playboy licensed apparel (and thongs) for girls in the toy section of their book




"uhhh ... looks like some nice Thomas the train toysets for lil Jimmy this year"

*flip the page*

"oh look ... we could get a playboy licensed dildo for little Betty"
