One of the folks from the KC Sportbike forums is a human resource manager and is looking for some geeks. There are a few that ride sportbikes, but I told her not to underestimate The local mailing list of Linux geeks. She wants: Sooooooo we are seriously having a growth spurt at work. We have several positions open, and we are moving into new space to accomodate the growth in the next 2 mos (we'll still be on the plaza)..... Take a gander at the positions listed below....if you know anyone....refer them, there's some serious cash in it for you once they are here 30 days. Sr Software Engineer (very strong C skills needed 7 ANSI SQL) Software Engineer (very strong Perl skills, & ANSI SQL) Senior Marketing Manager (hands on managment style, Im not lookin for someone to come in and sit on their ass) Senior Database Developer Senior Database Administrator (Strong Oracle 9i skills a must) Senior Web Developer (will be tested in Javascript and HTML 4.0) Graphic Designer (with Flash and M/X experience) Copywriter (experience with ad copy preferred) Senior Accountant (public accounting experience preferred) East Coast Sales Manager (will be relocating to the East Coast and opening an office) West Coast Sales Manager (will be relocating to the West Coast and opening an office) Manager of Technical Operations (hands on managment role over our sys admins) Her email is: kjohnston@adknowledge.com There's a $500 referal bonus she would give to me, but I feel it would be better served to have her make the check out to the Free Software Foundation.

Ugh.
Good catch! It seems more and more HR people are in the business of trying to trick people into slave labor. I'm liking my current job even more! -=Duane
This is a sign of the times. Too bad they can't learn from Henry Ford when he declared the $5 a day wage in 1914. He was also the first to institute the 5 day 40 hour week in 1926. How quickly we forget people. Gary Hildebrand St. Joseph, MO

Yes, and he was also the guy who hired thugs to bust skulls of striking workers in the mid thirties. I'm not trying to vilify Henry Ford particularly, but it does seem that even he forgot. Regards, -Don
They've replaced the Henry Ford Policy ("pay people enough to afford your product") with the Wal-Mart Policy ("keep people poor enough that they can't afford anything but your product"). At least Wal-Mart "cares" enough to keep people from having to work more than 39 hours a week, and all those annoying benefits that come from working more than 39 hours a week. --- Gary Hildebrand <ghildebrand@centurytel.net> wrote:

As long as people will work like that, then they can get away with it. Mc D's has to change and offer benefits to less than 40 hour workers years ago. Free market at work. -Bill

That reminds me: Wal-Mart uses many techniques similar to Henry Ford's union-busting techniques to prevent Wal-Mart employees from unionizing and thus gaining the benefits they are denied by Wal-Mart. Unethical Corporations at work. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
