A security clearance such as a TS or higher.

TS clearances usually involves an actual investigator who verifies all of your claims when you apply for one. Depending on the type of TS clearance you are even interrogated. If you are serious about a job that requires a TS clearance, I'd highly recommend not lying in one of those. As if the investigator catches it and determines it was intentional, there's a good chance you can kiss that clearance goodbye along with the job that likely needs you with a TS clearance.
you mostly mean like airline jobs, tcs or whatever they call the security part of most airlines? forget the 3 letter shortening....

Depends on the job TC on if they will check.

I will say, I'd highly recommend not lying on a high profile job that will likely involve an actual background check. Like clearance level work.

Personally, I wouldn't lie to that degree on my resume ever. Maybe finesse my responsibilities and accomplishments, but fabricating an entire college degree is something I'm not bold enough to do. I feel my luck I'd get caught.
what do you mean clearance level work? yeah an extremely high percentage if they find out will get rid of you. LIke almost all esp. an upper level job. All the big ones in the news they got rid of them. Maybe degree importance is getting even more important in u.s. not less

Some of it comes from older people being out of touch and not being able to comprehend how easy and accessible it is to learn most skills via the internet. Other times it comes from people being resentful that simply going to college didn't immediately translate to them earning six figures.

I've been on multiple interviews where hiring managers couldn't understand that I have years of experience with certain software suites because to them, the only way you can learn these skills is by taking a college course. Despite having a portfolio and some of my work making the news throughout the years I've been almost completely ignored because I don't have a degree.
yeah extremely sad, esp. being resentful they didn't earn six figure...super sad. Also the very last part of your post as well.

$100,000 of that was during the recall. Newsom raised $90 million during the recall.

That donation was 0.1% of the money he raised.
just cause it's isn't a huge amount that means the accusations are false? i kinda agree kai, the poster above you i believe says it isn't true.

People act like Newsom got millions from Panera bread.... he didn't. He got something like $165,000 all told. Newsom spent tens of millions of dollars JUST on the recall.

It's ridiculous to think that the amount of money presented here had that much of an influence.
you don't believe the accusations? newsom's camp won't even officially deny it. If the donation was only like 160k that makes a huge huge difference?

According to the article, the labor union accepted the exemption, and Panera doesn't consider itself fast-food anyway? If freshly-made bread is their main product, then it might be a worthy exemption, and not that big a deal.

The corporation that owns Panera made a fucking $65000 donation to his re-election. This pales in comparison to the millions in donations to both Republican and Democrat candidates in California. In the end, this is a very much a literal nothing-burger that nobody really cares about.

I had one manager when I worked at a local restaurant who probably believed that. There was a customer who was being a rude asshole and my manager was just bending over backwards for him. That dick said "Eh, I like one apology from dat guy", and my manager tried to get me to do that, but I refused. So my hours got cut and I was written up, but it was perfect since just a few days later I got a call from my current job saying they saw my resume on Indeed and asked if I wanted an interview.
yeah if you were totally right, and then she wants you to apologize to that guy? Like he would ever apologize to you in a hundred yrs if he was wrong. What reasonable person would want to apologize in that situation?

At my last retail job we had a corporate shakeup which left us with a new manager who was in his forties and only worked at the company, since he was a teenager. He was a fanboy for the company almost on the level as a gaming or wrestling fanboy and gloated about the fact that he commuted 2+ hours to and from the store each day.

We had instances where customers would be screaming at cashiers and sometimes insulting them, only for the customers to be rewarded with coupons. One time I got berated on the phone and when transferring it to the manager I said weve got a charmer on line four. I was taken into the office and reprimanded for saying that.
holy shit. so this guy always sided with the customer? you ever heard the famous saying "the customer is always right?" maybe this guy believes that.
