Paperwork Makes Work

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

Dear Nina,

You just violated our non disclosure agreement, that you signed before you took on that little job. You disclosed our patent-pending form filling procedure. Expect a call from our lawyers Boolle, Chit and Moore.

have a nice day,
J. Butttalker

I hate coming in for an interview and being asked to fill out an application. You have my resume! All this information is on my resume!

  Re:
  I prefer to go w/the Congressional Bill mentality: You MUST hire me, THEN I'll show you what's in my resume....

    Re: Re:
    I think the "must approve so we can see what's in it" is evidence that congress simply rubber stamps that which is written by PACs, special interests, etc.

Jobz
Employers are so far behind the curve it's amazing they hire anyone. Risk Assessment, as applied to hiring, has essentially crippled business. Luckily, one can still get a CEO position, fail, then walk away with millions! FUBAR...I think so.
