Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers
I do try to submit good stories to the pipeThanks. We need 'em.
not duplicating /. or SN if possible.I've never been concerned about that. While I'd never want to copy /. or SN stories, we certainly don't want this community to be left-out just because somebody else mentioned the topic first (poorly). Furthermore, I've found it very interesting to compare how the different sister sites cover the same stories (when that occasionally happens), with Pipedot always having a vastly more accurate and in-depth write-up.
I started making the profile page more summary-like. Example: http://bryan.pipedot.org/profile/Looks good, but you definitely need to make the "Recent Comments" section a LOT larger (only 10?!).
Umm, what? Go read the court filing yourself: http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Intermexcomplaint.pdfThanks for the link. It was not in the story.
Because she had to be able to receive calls from clients after-hours. She was a salesman after all. Leaving her phone somewhere (or shutting it off) would have been far more disruptive than just removing the app in-question. I don't see why you think that would be fine with everyone (she would have gotten fired even more quickly).I have a pretty black/white view of employment and time. Either you are on the job or you're not. If you're on the job and using company equipment then that's fair. If you're not on the job, leave the equipment behind. If you think that you need to answer calls on the company phone at any hour, then you're always on the job. I don't think that's a reasonable position to take. If the company wants 24 hour response, they should hire enough people to cover the hours.
There was no link to any content for that blurb.Umm, what? Go read the court filing yourself: http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Intermexcomplaint.pdf
Why not just leave the device at work/home/on the moon while you're not working?Because she had to be able to receive calls from clients after-hours. She was a salesman after all.

How does one future-proof his/her life and career?duh, dont choose a career that is formulaic. design is the last thing to be automated, especially software. when machines can design their own software, they will be more than just machines.
Sounds like she's a suer. Turn the damn device off on your own time and/or don't carry it with you. It's company issued...I'd say she's got a good case.
Intermex forced Arias and other employees to install Xora on their smartphones and told them they needed to keep their phones on all day, every day.
