Recently I discovered that Facebook has a policy that no one with pending misdemeanors can be hired if they are just a contractor. We recently had to turn away a 23 year old combat veteran who had deployed to Afghanistan because he had a pending Class C misdemeanor. That’s a max fine of $50 for the state this was in. All for a $16.50 an hour job.

The amount of indifference to suffering by people in the corporate world today has gotten...I am not even sure what the word is.




Are you sure you are commenting in the right thread?


The article did mention that their Facebook account was the only one that wasn't compromised.

> Through all of these hacks, it was interesting to find that Facebook was the one reliable and secure service under my control.

Perhaps their comment was attempting to provide some anecdotal data in an effort to explain why the author's Facebook account remained secure.

Though I agree with you in the sense that it's far more likely that they simply commented on the wrong article. :)
