    Kaneinja21 6 hr. ago What kind of system puts suite 525 on the second floor 1.6k Reply Share Crab-_-Objective. 4 hr. ago Beat guess? It's a complex with multiple buildings and this is really building 5, floor 2, suite 5 in the system. Is it a good system? Probably not but it's the only one I can come up with 648 Reply Share

    davieb22 6 hr. ago . I raise you one better. I was told in December that I'm being made redundant. They sent a formal letter thanking me for my service...the letter had someone else's name on it. They obviously forgot to clear the template from the last redundancy letter they sent. 1.5k Reply Share

    Q Glum_Hamster_1076 - 5 hr. ago I like how you need two forms of ID but they didn't double check this email. 146 Reply Share MindlessFail 4 hr. ago That's government mandated. They have to submit it in the US at least for the I-9 tax and new hire paperwork. Just something the lawyers forced them to put in to avoid jail time 443 ↓ Reply Share

    Salt-Operation. 4 hr. ago This is definitely a scam. 41 supernovababoon - 4 hr. ago RED Reply Share There's a scam like this where they are just constantly interviewing people and asking them if they are interested in getting into management and all this stuff that makes it sound like the opportunity of a lifetime in sports marketing. Who wouldn't want to work in sports! They have you show up in a suit and they say they are going out on a sales call. They then drop you off in a random neighborho
