Happy Communist Day

[SDET]

yeah i don't believe you

the whole point of a temp agency is to function as a middle man - they cut HR costs for the company, the agency takes a cut of the worker's pay/benefits, and the worker gets the short end. That's literally the busy model. They don't do anything that can't be done without them

why the **** a $trillion bank that gets bailouts needs to use a temp agency that makes unsolicited calls from india to random people, for a 3 year "temp" contract with very threatening language, as an acquaintance experienced, well, they shouldn't be surprised that no one showed up for a whopping $13/hr with no benefits

The trick is to be in the right place at the right time. Agencies cut their mark-up if it means another agency would get the contract. That's what I mean by knowing how to access opportunity: Have the right skills and the right career management know-how.

Here is a correct source if you don't want to believe me:

Today is May 1. It's the day that the Reds have their festivities to celebrate the 100 million dead, the many more that have lost their freedom and in general the boot they put at the neck of the human race.

Give Bernie a hug . :3oops:

The Black Book systematically errs on the side of minimal numbers - like, what is surely documented. Unlike their Nazi twin brothers, Soviet Communists were not into bureaucratic precision. Whole villages and towns that resisted "collectivization" had disappeared without any records officially made.

If you go by standard demographics - the Russian population at the time of the last census before the Bolshevik takeover, minus known emigration outflow (registered by welcoming countries), minus war losses, plus expected birth rate, etc - by the end of the 30ies you have a shortage of between 60 and 80 million people. Solzhenitsyn had chosen 66 million as a conservative estimate.

In any case, 20 million is a ridiculous number. Mr. Parteigenosse Gorbachev himself admitted to 40 - under Stalin only.

Hey, easy. They only performed post-delivery abortions.

I don't love communism...but I find it an incredibly moving anthem.

Aha...When I was a little kid, in a Moscow communal flat, at 6 am sharp all the little Orwellian radio devices in every room would start blaring the damn thing as loudly as possible - who wants to be suspected of disloyalty? - My political sensibility so interferes with delight in music here - I want to puke every time I hear the first notes.

Some people allow things like political sensibility to interfere with delight in music...if you can imagine that.

Yes, quite moving comrade!

Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labour and valourous deed.

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

In the victory of Communism's immortal ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

Software Architect Hourly Wages and how key factors impact Software Architect Hourly Wages - Salary.com

temp agencies don't get involved in jobs that pay $60/hr. The companies themselves do the hiring, because it's too risky not to. In fact, a simple search on indeed reveals that 90% of opening for the position you're talking about are not done by temp agencies. Those that are, no matter what, the agency is taking a cut. Excluding staff agencies from the search results in almost 0 reduction in openings for $80,000/yr (-5200 compared to -5300 total openings). 90% of the jobs in this field pay $80k+ and are NOT run thru agencies. So no, i still don't believe you

in any regard, if someone is content off $50/hr and no PTO instead of what they're entitled to, i don't care. It's kind of amazing someone with such training can be such a sucker, but whatever. My concern is for those who struggle to get by and the middle class decaying into nothing. There isn't room in the economy for 200 million software architects. If everyone went down this path, it'd pay $13/hr and get handled by indians making solicitations so they can make $2/hr off every hire

For me it is riot day. All the protestors come up and participate in illegal protests that usually turn violent. I live in downtown Montreal and all I have heard all day are police sirens and helicopters. Riot watching is quite fun, until they start launching tear gas.

Do y'all still have FLQ guys running around, or are those days over?

That's the only Canadian communist group I could think of off the top of my head.

And yeah---communism is a fairly ****ty form of government, but it and socialism are two very different things.

It speaks ill of your character for calling people a liar with no basis.

I have noticed two places were people disparage those who want people to solve their own problems:

1) The left where everyone is supposed to be helpless unless the government takes care of them.
2) Bigots that want to blame poverty on a targeted disfavored group.

For reasonable people here's the facts. People can lift themselves out of poverty. You should resent people who contend that they can't. You should respect people who teach the nuts-and-bolts of how to do it.

So actually, temp agencies have good paying IT jobs:

Those jobs would available without the agencies existing, and would offer better compensation since no middle man, that is the obvious point that you fail to comprehend.

Your 1st link is outdated, 2nd has no salary listed, which doesn't surprise me since that's crucial to the scam. 3rd-5th are just front pages and i can't find hardly any "software architect" jobs and 0 with actual pay listed. You've failed to disprove any of my claims

No, they haven't been around for 40 years which is double the amount of time I have been alive, they were also socialist not communist.

Wikipedia won't let me read about them so I'll just have to take your word for it lol

So puke.

Me...I think it is an excellent anthem.

I especially like it in its rock version:

 

[Frank Apisa]

Yes, quite moving comrade!

I agree. Very moving.

Roll your eyes all you want.

 

[Mr Person]

Today is May 1. It's the day that the Reds have their festivities to celebrate the 100 million dead, the many more that have lost their freedom and in general the boot they put at the neck of the human race.

Is anyone going to debate whether Soviet Russia was bad?

 

[countryboy]

I agree. Very moving.

Roll your eyes all you want.

I especially like the part about Lenin and communism. I suspect that is your favorite part too.

I'm leading you to the water. If you want to know, you have to take SOME initiative. I shouldn't need to spoon-feed you everything.

What you're doing is like asking an experienced plumber for example to go back and document he knows how to fix pipes. I have been at this for decades. Corporate managers are deluged with resumes. Trusted recruiters are relied on to screen out the unqualified. Companies pay more for one-off projects or to undo poor practices. The contracts generally last 6 months to one year. Visit an information technology users group in your area and ask around about project-based pay rates versus the security of a full-time opening. Offshoring has caused such a quality void that it creates desperate situations where things MUST work. The trick is to uncover those desperate managers. I know several agency recruiters that are quite skilled at finding those. While it's not my cup of tea, national candidates that can actually do the job can get $80 to $100 per hour. And yes, that's through an agency. A national candidate is someone willing to go where ever they are sent. I have a friend in the Boston area able to swing those rates. He has bounced from Texas to California to Utah to Colorado to Rhode Island to Massachusetts. I prefer to stay in Texas and sacrifice a few bucks an hour.

In the place from last year I was telling you about, I actually interviewed directly with the company. The company selected an agency and made me a "leased employee". The manager told me he had no budget to hire an employee, but he did have consulting money in his budget. Hence, he was forced to use an agency to hire me.

 

[Frank Apisa]

Well, this may astonish you...but I do not understand any of the words. I am talking about the music.

If you do not like the music...don't listen to it. If you are going to pout because someone thinks the anthem of another country is stirring...pout. I'm sure you look cute when you do it.

Frank, I have a thumb drive with music I listen to, to Get Motivated, so that is the label I put on it.

The very first song on it is Panzerlied, the Nazi tank fight song sung in the movie Battle of the Bulge.

Regardless of your ideology, it is hard to not stomp your foot and pound the air when it is playing.
It is all sung in German and I have no idea what they are saying, but matters not.

Very motivational to get me up off my dead ass and get going.

I understand, Retired. When I was in sales, I used to have an 8 track recording of great marches that I would play while driving to meet a customer. Nothing like stirring music to get the blood flowing. I'll listen to Panserlied today.

Another stirring piece of music from the Nazis was the Nazi anthem. I most certainly am NOT a Nazi, but there is no reason not to acknowledge the music as motivational. The German anthem is another that I find to be outstanding.

My favorite, of course, is the Star Spangled Banner...although I MUCH prefer to hear it played by a military band than sung by someone before a ball game of any sort!

My sister-in-law found this out too when she went to see CABARET. In it there is this German kid singing "Tomorrow Belongs To Me" where it starts off sweet and pretty and ends up a strong march for the Nazis. She said she could feel herself wanting to stand up and march away.

Music does that. That is probably why we both like to use it to set our moods.

 

[dimensionallava]

Why 100 million? Why not 200 million? That's what someone said here a few days ago.

i heard 2 billion

Well, since the May Day parade is an American idea, that makes your OP quite wrong.
