Taking bribes and funneling money into your pockets instead of governing for the people with a mandate, that's corruption. It's stealing.
Not if you turn that into a law. Lets imagine you have a large group of people, all voting for the same party. The party has a significant following, significant enough to be essential for any government to include them, if they want a lawfully large following. That party doesn't care about governing the country, they'll vote for whatever the rest of the government wants them to vote for, as long as their voters get preferable conditions. They don't put money in their own pockets, they send funds to their voter base, supporting them, exactly as they promised in every election campaign.
That is a bride - a classic bride.
More of grooming people.

@dyasny ...the two party system makes everything you're saying worse.
No, because a two party system makes such abuse impossible. There are other problems, but I'll take those over being forced to feed a small group of people for free, just because they were well enough organized to put a party together and force it down everyone else's throats.
Two party is pretty bad. We don't even have the benefits of the "mix and match" system. The US is not officially two party, it just lacks the processes to deal with more than two.
LOl - I feel that we are a one party system, each on a different side of the same coin.
the coin being the government, and the parties being nothing more than an act to fool the public. -

High taxes don't really solve any of those problems, but can make a lot of them worse. High taxes put a bigger burden on the economy making it less competitive and makes labour more expensive.
Well, the people managing that economy aren't stupid, I'm sure they are doing what they can, in the given conditions. Still, it's nowhere near the conditions the US or any EU country is in. I'd change the political system, to eliminate the abuse first, move to a two party system, instead of the current coalition based insanity, which is so easy to abuse
Scott would start by declaring himself dictator.
I did that long ago, you plebes just don't listen.
I, sir, am no plebe. Likely a pube though.

Two party systems only makes people choose a side. The problem is the both sides are extremely corrupt and because of collectivism people are unwilling to think for themselves. This problems is on both sides. People are defending Trump or Obama just because he his on their side or vice versa. There is already an opinion formed that I am a Democrat/Repubican therefore my party is always right and the other guys are completely wrong.
Intelligent people are able to look at things by issue not by party or politician. Unfortunately 90% of people are completely tied up in this party affliation bullshit. It's easy to sell because you can always make the other side look stupid since they both do stupid things. Then people from each party will make themselves feel better from mocking the other party. When in essence they are the ones being fooled since they never look at issues from a neutral or opposite point of view.
Collectivism is a bitch and it makes people dumber than rocks!
so you are suggesting to split all those people into even smaller chunks, and try to form a government out of a collection of those tiny chunks. If you have 10 parties instead of 2 (with the size of the US, it'll be more like 100 parties really), each pulling in it's own direction, how will a government be able to even form, not to mention actually do anything?
That is how Japan functions. They have two large parties. But neither is large enough to do anything by itself. They have to make agreements with similar smaller parties to get anything done.

@scottalanmiller I think @guyinpv should give that one a shot.

That's the way to do it!

No time or date on it, instructions unclear, demand he continue to work without a paycheck thinking he was termed 6 years ago.

@guyinpv any news on the job after another week there? Decided that it is just time to go? Planning to stick it out for a while?

And all I wanted to do was open up a conversation so they could start looking for a replacement. I wasn't expecting a circus.What were you realistically expecting?
To begin a detailed, thought-out, plan of finding a competent replacement. Start looking at quality job boards, map out job requirements, etc. Be reasonable, efficient, mindful.
Instead they panicked that I was going to walk out and leave in a couple days. They rushed to find anybody with basic knowledge of a computer from the local staffing agency and threw them onto my lap with little consideration. Now I'm trying to train a person with no experience and fairly rudimentary knowledge. Plus they dumped all these demands for an encyclopedia worth of how-tos, procedures, vendor notes, troubleshooting guides, etc.
It's funny but also sad. One day the new person was there and I was at home, sick or something. A shared network connection in Windows got disconnected which made an app pop up an error. New person tried to troubleshoot the app, perhaps not knowing the shared network drive existed. So boss asks if I've already written a specific procedure for this specific app when having this specific error caused by this specific problem.
I'm just like, no, I can't write a procedure detailing every conceivable error that can happen on every one of 50+ vendors we deal with, lol.
The IT person is supposed to know how to troubleshoot issues, not just read from a procedure book encyclopedia written by the previous IT person!

@guyinpv still there?

Man what a pain! I needed to do this for my previous employer and it was hard to deal with it. Ended up creating a 60 page manual for staff and about the same for the IT Admin person taking over me.

Does stuff like that happens when it’s a one person IT position?

That's a state level law and I'm pretty sure nowhere in the US makes you give notice. If they do, it's an extreme exception.
Doctors have this. xxx number of days, to make sure notes on patients are passed over. In reality this isn't really a big deal with modern EMR's, and in most practices.
-
@guyinpv Time to give that notice and go. zero reason to stay now, you've been replaced.

How do they handle if doctors get sick or can't come in?

No, things like this happen when the company is shit.
