I got distracted during the EEO course. It is supposed to be a one-hour course, but five hours later, I still haven't completed it. I suppose I'll carry on tomorrow.
Kenny called to ask me what I'd heard about that office because they had also called him. He notified them that he has a family vacation coming up soon and they cancelled his request.
Equal Employment Opportunity Course for Supervisors -- This one is probably about 80% identical to the regular EEO course. In both courses, they make the mistake of focusing on the complaints process. 90 days for this, 60 days for that. And then all those time periods are on the exam. But if there's a complaint, HR will send an EEO specialist to handle the process and investigation. Regular employees won't need to know such details because they'll be relying on the domain expert.
We don't expect the EEO specialist to know details of inspecting structures' designs in CAD, so why should the CAD inspection specialist know the details of equal employment opportunity complaint processes?
They did indeed call, but it was 05:30 US-Pacific, and that slot was already taken before I awakened. As I told S, I just hope I don't wind up working somewhere like North Dakota. They probably have 10-20 feet of snow and temperatures of -50F|-46C. No thanks.
@fu I'd say there's definitely overpopulation. But for each individual nation, reversing population growth brings the potential hazard of too many retirees for the work-age population to support.
As far as I know, this hasn't happened in any nation yet, but the prospect scares political leaders (and especially nationalists, who want to fill the world with people of their nationality and loyal to their government)
Also, if you're Russia and you've been preparing to start wars of reconquest since 2008 or so, the possibility of population growth soon becoming negative necessarily means that your war has to occur sooner rather than later.
I always remember the two brothers who were playing catch alongside the San Gabriel River. One brother fell in, and rescue efforts failed. His body washed up on a beach days later.
#NOAA / #NWS: heavy rain due to thunderstorms. 1-1.75 inches has already fallen with 0.25 to 0.75 more expected. Will affect rivers, creeks, streams, other low-lying areas.
But seriously, I don't agree with HR that _everyone_ needs to take human trafficking awareness yearly. I don't deal with the public, so even if I knew what to look for, I'm unlikely to see it.
For example, #GD2’s brother #GS2 is 25 years old. If I send a birthday or Christmas gift, I receive a thank you note. If I send greetings on New Year’s Day or Independence Day, I’ll receive a response. Other than that, he doesn’t communicate. And because he’s well able to communicate if he chooses, his non-communication means that I’m only rarely willing anymore to make an effort outside of certain special days.
