seagull is so much better though, because you can charge the client for the proctology AND the gynecology!

That sounds like a really good time.

No, all of ya'll are crazy. The dot of dirt on the window was the aiming device for a laser, and you had to use it to cut all the electrical wires without cutting trees or the poles, because those are wood and it would start a fire.

I came in here thinking that they were finally going to cut costs to the bone by getting rid of employees. Make the customer pay if items aren't restocked to perfection, and no more annoying employees who are being forced to ask if you need help. Sort of like those amazon stores that you 'pay' first with your credit card to enter the store and it tracks what you take.

Pure, sweet business profits, eh? Eeeh? I bet we could convince an mba to make that pitch, and could bankrupt a few stores before they realize the idiocy.

The interviewers know this, and will fail you after reminding you multiple times that the only answers you can give is yes or no. The mental breakdown has to stay inside your head to be effective. ;)

Go take some classes on stress management and biofeedback and learn to control all those things they are testing for

The only real measure that they can read is your breathing rate. Everything else is so variable naturally that it's just noise.

Because they get people to admit to things they wouldn't otherwise. A polygraph test starts with the interviewer "just talking" (and those are massive, giant quotation marks there) to you for about a half hour. They slip in little statements about other, experienced officers who are currently employed despite past wrongdoings, "because they admitted" to the bad shit. Meanwhile, when you admit to bad shit, guess who's not getting hired?

The interviewer will give you a giant list to go through, asking if you've done any of the hundreds of bad things, and ask you to explain any "yes" answers you give to the question of committing a crime.

So now you're primed to confess to things, and the interviewer and agency gets to comb through those confessions to see if they don't want to hire you. They also get to reject you if they don't like you and blame it on you failing the 'lie detector' test, or the interviewer can simply say you're lying.

Go read the book called, and I may be remembering this incorrectly, 'Beat the polygraph.' It goes into the history, the failures, and the 'science' of polygraphs. It's enough to get you pretty deep in the subject without reading actual research papers.

I wish people would remember that the real crux was lincoln's assassination. Everything since has been downhill, for america at least. Can you imagine if the traitors had actually been hanged? No jim crow laws? No fucking bullshit...

I would bet that a great many heads of 'large companies' would be targeted in the first purge. There's no way that there isn't some disgruntled employee or even an ex-employee that wouldn't be willing to take a swing at the big guy before poverty comes in for the kill.

Anyway, I doubt most people would get violent. Most people aren’t just held back by laws, but morality

I'll be honest here, mate, I think we've seen that a very large portion of the population would be more than happy to get violent. It's mostly the ones who scream about laws needing to enforce morality on 'the heathens.'

Look, based on the rest of the responses to this post, I'm not alone in seeing it.
