discussing your salary with other employees is actually in poor taste and it shouldn't need to be an official policy if you work with mature adults hth

Supreme Court rules against workers in warehouse security case

WASHINGTON -- Workers don’t have a federal right to be paid for time spent in post-shift security searches, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a decision that will help Amazon.com Inc. fend off lawsuits seeking more than $100 million.

The justices unanimously rejected claims by former Amazon warehouse workers against the company that staffs many of the online retailer’s facilities. The case centered on the reach of federal wage laws.

The ruling, which comes in the middle of the retail industry’s busy holiday season, may shield other companies as well as Amazon. Apple Inc., CVS Health Corp., J.C. Penney Co., TJX Cos. and Ross Stores Inc. are all battling similar cases involving either distribution centers or stores.

Companies say screening is a valuable tool to guard against theft. Employees say what’s being stolen is their time.

In the case before the court, Jesse Busk and Laurie Castro said workers in two Nevada warehouses had to spend as much as 25 minutes after their shifts waiting to pass through metal detectors. Amazon disputes that characterization.

Amazon wasn’t directly involved in the Supreme Court case, which concerned its staffing company, Integrity Staffing Solutions Inc.

A woman in London said she was sexually harassed by an Uber driver who asked if she liked blow jobs and offered to pull down a side street and perform "sucky sucky" on her during her route.

The unidentified woman, who shared emails of her exchange with Uber about the incident with Newsweek, described the March encounter as scary. According to Newsweek, she first contacted Uber after the hellish ride telling the company "Driver was very forward and quite creepy. Asked me if I wanted him to go down on me. Not cool."

A marketing manager who responded to her complaint via email apologized, referring to the incident with the driver as an "intrusive experience." The marketing manager then told her the company was "already investigating this with [the driver] and I can assure you that the necessary actions will be taken to avoid a similar incident in future." The email she received from the company concluded with a thank you to her from bringing the issue to their attention. "[While] painful to hear, it's the best way for us to address any incidents like this," it stated.

She then received another response from a different Uber representative, which said the company was "shocked" to learn about her experience. According to Newsweek, the email stated "while things like this should definitely not happen in the first place, in the unlikely event that they do occur we have the full details of the driver, trip and rider on our systems so that we can immediately investigate any concerns raised."

The company then offered her a £20 ($31) credit, signing the email "Sorry again for such an un-Uber experience."

I didn’t go looking for grief this afternoon, but it found me anyway, and I have designers and programmers to thank for it. In this case, the designers and programmers are somewhere at Facebook.

I know they’re probably pretty proud of the work that went into the “Year in Review” app they designed and developed, and deservedly so—a lot of people have used it to share the highlights of their years. Knowing what kind of year I’d had, though, I avoided making one of my own. I kept seeing them pop up in my feed, created by others, almost all of them with the default caption, “It’s been a great year! Thanks for being a part of it.” Which was, by itself, jarring enough, the idea that any year I was part of could be described as great.

Still, they were easy enough to pass over, and I did. Until today, when I got this in my feed, exhorting me to create one of my own. “Eric, here’s what your year looked like!”

A picture of my daughter, who is dead. Who died this year.

I mean, did he think this company was just letting him have free web hosting and instant messaging? OF course they're going to reduce you to stats. this is why i left fb, i had more "I don't want this mined" stuff than "I don't care if this is mined" stuff. i know it's got an extra twist the knife thing due to his child, but i don't really think this is worth impassioned Blog Posts. Just shut down your FB.
