SanityLapse 03/21/12 1:34:00 AM #60:	I've even heard of some employers basing hiring off of what your interests are in certain categories on Facebook. One of the examples I've heard is that if under music, you have some unknown bands, they consider you a free thinker, and would label you as a threat. But if you have people like Lady Gaga and Rihanna listed, they consider you a brainless employee who will buy into everything they tell you, and are much better for the position. -- http://kotti.wippiespace.com/survivor/datass2.gif http://tinyurl.com/82d9keg <cite>SanityLapse posted [p:931918] in Job Seeker...

Forcing you to log in or friend a business account are pretty awful too, and I doubt I would stand for either of them. It's perfectly legal, look: Hey, LotM, give me your gamefaqs password or I won't vote for you in UOTY What's wrong with this? Nothing. You don't care that I'm asking for your password because you don't care about what I am offering. I can make whatever offer I want, it's up to you to accept it or not. Now how about this: Hey, LotM, give me your gamefaqs password and I'll give you $10K You would obviously take this deal, but why? Because you really want that $10K. But is this exchange illegal? It's against the gamefaqs ToS, sure, but that only means the account will be closed. Neither of us are gonna be charged for any crime. So the problem isn't about asking for the password, that is merely a symptom. The real problem is that employers have way too much leverage over the job-seekers in this economy. It's 100% an economic issue.

Yeah, but the economy is always going to be intermittently s**ty, and the next time the economy is bad the problem will arise again. The problem is simple enough that to solve in legislation without a vague law open to tons of unintended side effects: "Companies may not request that job applicants or employees give them passwords to any personal accounts."

[t:62308731]...</cite> <quote> foolm0ron posted...Exactly, right. But you must realize that the problem in both of these cases is a bad economy. You cannot price gouge successfully in a balanced free market. The solution is to fix the economy, not to add even more regulations and plunge the economy into a deeper downward spiral just to fix a short-term, superficial symptom.Yeah, but the economy is always going to be intermittently s***ty, and the next time the economy is bad the problem will arise again. The problem is simple enough that to solve in legislation without a vague law open to tons of unintended side effects: "Companies may not request that job applicants or employees give them passwords to any personal accounts."

You know what, I was thinking about this and I wonder if some companies might be cutting corners on background checks with this. They can spy on your Facebook for free but real background checks cost money, I wouldn't be surprised if there were at least a few companies who thought Facebook spying was good enough. -- SuperNiceDog didn't have to reconcile his name...

foolm0ron 03/21/12 2:12:00 PM #87:	From: LordoftheMorons \| #082 Yeah, but the economy is always going to be intermittently s*ty, and the next time the economy is bad the problem will arise again. The problem is simple enough that to solve in legislation without a vague law open to tons of unintended side effects: "Companies may not request that job applicants or employees give them passwords to any personal accounts." I don't see any reason not to do that. My view, and this is where 2 reasonable people can definitely disagree, is that piling on the minor legislations like this makes it harder to get out of the economic slump. It's not only unnecessary, but harmful. -- _foolmo_** 'but that statement is something only an Aspergers patient would say' - UltimaterializerX <cite>foolm0ron posted [p:931945] in Job Seeker...
