🏝️ US Tech Cannot Comprehend the Digital Nomad Way of Life - The New Stack
「 digital nomads are NOT “working” in another country, they’re “visiting” another country while “remote working”. Not using the words “visiting” or “remote” when conducting legal inquiries is often the difference between legal or illegal 」
👻 Job boards are still rife with 'ghost jobs'. What's the point? - BBC
「 More than 40% of hiring managers said they list jobs they aren't actively trying to fill to give the impression that the company is growing. A similar share said the job listings are made to motivate employees, while 34% said the jobs are posted to placate overworked staff who may be hoping for additional help to be brought on 」
"Man muss davon ausgehen, dass es in der #ARD-Programmdirektion Leute gibt, die die Dimension der Proteste nicht einschätzen können oder wollen. Anders scheint das beim #HR zu sein, der am Montag um 20.15 Uhr bei "Hessenschau Extra" 25 Minuten zeigte, "warum die #Hessen jetzt auf die Straße gehen".

Want to know how the #US#military helped to undermine Americans' feeling that no health insurance/ruinous costs, zero paid vacation time, zero maternity leave are God given freedoms?
I worked in #HR at one of the outposts of the #empire. One of our jobs was to familiarize US mil and civilian supervisors with the labor laws of the host country.
The effects on 20-something junior US personnel from some backwater state were nothing but stunning.
I’m a lifelong power wheelchair user who lives in the Cincinnati, Ohio area, where there are only two vendors who specialize in complex custom wheelchairs for patients like me: Care Medical – a local independent vendor, and Numotion – a large national vendor. Both vendors are in network with Anthem, but only Numotion is in network with UnitedHealthcare. I would like to share in detail what a negative impact this change in health insurance has had on me and my healthcare.
When my employer offered health insurance through Anthem years ago, I used Care Medical for wheelchair services and repairs were always completed promptly. This has not been the case with UnitedHealthcare and Numotion. Back in early October I started the process to get seating adjustments on my wheelchair and replace a motor that was starting to fail. My Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM & R) doctor referred me to a wheelchair seating clinic, who arranged for a Numotion Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) to participate in a seating evaluation with one of the clinic’s Occupational Therapists (OT) on October 3rd. During that appointment they took notes and collectively decided what changes and parts were necessary for the proper fit and function of my wheelchair.
On October 30th I received an automated email from Numotion stating that they were still waiting for documentation from my clinician. This indicated to me that the repair order had not been fully submitted nearly a month after my seating evaluation. I immediately contacted the OT to ensure all paperwork was in order. I received another automated email from Numotion about missing documentation on November 9th. I discovered that Numotion had requested medical documentation from my primary care doctor, instead of the specialist who had referred me for the evaluation. Numotion received the parts in late November, and the service appointment is today – nearly three months after my evaluation appointment. When I tried calling Numotion’s local phone number to let the repair shop know that my mom would be a little late dropping off my chair, I was routed to a call center. The agent told me she would send a note after she tried to call the local repair shop and didn’t get an answer. When I asked for a direct number for the repair shop, she said there isn't one. When my mom arrived, she asked for a local phone number, and they confirmed that they do not have one.
I keep an old wheelchair around in case my current wheelchair needs repairs. It doesn’t fit me as well as my current chair, and I worry about how long it will last, but it works for now in a pinch. Many do not have that luxury and would have no choice but to wait for months without a functioning wheelchair. Care Medical employees have told me that they have tried to get in network with UnitedHealthcare for years without success. This situation has left me to rethink what I and others with disabilities should evaluate when considering an employer.
I realized something today. I think HR departments exist to pretend to offer the same protections to employees as a union would. That is, HR's job is to give the impression you don't need a union while of course not providing the actual protections of one.
3 things we need to stop doing in recruiting and talent acquisition. Part 2: Interview Questions that put some people at a disadvantage
Let's all take a step towards making talent acquisition more equitable for everyone and stop using situational interview questions. These questions can disadvantage people with cognitive differences, and we need to find a better way!
Lived experience. I’m seeing this used so much. Surely this is just experience? Do we not need to be alive to have an experience therefore all experience is lived experience? What am I missing here? #hr#jobseeking

Holger Klein spricht mit Konrad Dussel, Ilka Jakobs, Christian Meier und Hadija Haruna-Oelker über Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft des Öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunks. Wir empfehlen: reinhören!👇
In case some of you aren't aware yet: Large employment websites that also offer career guide articles meant to help you win jobs and earn more have now begun using AI to write those articles. So instead of telling you how to stand out and improve your odds, they'll simply regurgitate the same SEO fodder that's already clogging half the web.
Next time you apply somewhere, ask true experts for help and don't rely on those shitty websites!
