Yeah, if I was a betting man I would have bet the house on "old owner neglected the bare minimum level of responsibility he had as a consultant and fucked something up."

So this job interview I tried to turn down twice has rolled around
So of course they are running "at least half an hour" late
They aren't doing themselves any favours here

Updates on the job front.
Stopgap plan approved: full time folks retained "for now," I'm being transferred on paper (and likely in person later in the year), part time folk have until their contracts run out in may and then canceled. In return, we have 0 money for programming ever again.
On the plus side, we got institutional support for me to reach out to the various units and tell them not to rob my funded classes and projects. That money, at least, will remain spent for what it is supposed to be spent for unless a dean wants to fight with the president's office. Which will happen, but hopefully more projects will remain online than not.
Its something we can work with, at least. Now my job is to manage the zugzwang of our collapse until 2021.

Oh god. The clutter broke in my work outlook and all those emails are leaking into my inbox. Send help!
I work for a multinational telco that is completely honest about looking into any public social media you have. If not before an actual interview, then definitely part of a background check as part of a conditional job offer.
I had a chat with someone from HR during work drinks and she was very candid about it.
Long story short, my company as a "insert company name here" ethos and they need to check you're the right fit. The example she gave was, "we do a lot of work with Stonewall, we can't be hiring homophobes".
What about the people who elect to not participate in social media?
Like, if you do a search for my name you get very little. No Facebook, no Instagram, no nothing. A few articles about my arrest almost 15 years ago, a couple of pieces mentioning me or picturing me interviewing/MC'ing for a radio event, and that's all.
So do I get pushed to the bottom of the pile because HR rep can't figure me out? This is something I've been wondering about for a bit.

Probably. Shitco's HR person would pretty much just huck your resume if you had no social media presence because "you're hiding something".
That company was garbage I can't believe I stayed as long as I did there.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

I think there would be significant overlap between companies that care about your social media vacuum and companies that would disqualify for the arrest.

Lack of searchable social media or internet presence shouldn't matter at most places. I have an incredibly generic name (most common last name in the US and 3rd most common first name, or something like that) that makes me impossible to look up, and it's never affected me that I'm aware of. I've occasionally heard after getting a job about how difficult it was to try to figure out which firstname lastname was actually me, usually with some laughter about how they eventually gave up.

I guess I do have something to hide.
My life, from people whose business it ain't.
Yeah I'm positive it varies place to place but I've heard more HR is using social media. My sister works for a smaller local college's Career Development office and even did a presentation on this a few months ago. Basically their telling college kids to start paying attention to what they post on Twitter/Facebook in order to help future job prospects
Well, had the raise discussion with my boss today. In a nutshell I said if I was going to continue to wear two hats next year and they weren't going to hire someone to manage billing full-time that I want more money. Essentially "if you're saving money by stretching me thin, I want a cut."
It went well and basically we'll revisit it once we find out what staffing gets approved for next year.

I think a company would be less concerned about a prospective employee being unfindable than them being easy to find doing something that looks 'bad'. I think they look people up less because they care what you get up to in your free time and more because they want to know if you're putting anything out there that can reflect back on them.
The possibilities are endless on how a shitty company will be shitty. No point in being totally paranoid about all the possibilities. I mean they could ding you because you have no social media. They could ding you because your social media is "too boring." They could find something totally arbitrary that they have a problem with.
I suppose the only two sensible options would be to either have a plain social media presence that offends nobody, or no social media at all.

I know Amex has a policy for social media where you can talk about where you work but absolutely cannot talk about things that haven't been announced and can't answer questions for people and have to leave it to the social media dept.
I heard of someone getting fired because they posted on twitter about a celebrity they talked to and posted their name. That person got fired that same day.
They're lucky. In healthcare, that can get you put in jail. (Not a joke - that would be a willful breach of HIPAA, which carries actual jail time.)
Like we have people saying in this thread "I deleted my Facebook so my Employer can't see I'm left wing" and I think that's pretty awful. I appreciate the dedication we have here to "fuck Nazis" but I don't believe corporate hiring managers are watching out for hard-right Republicans and Tories in case they slip through the net into the company, you know?
Hard disagree, i think if you look at earlier in the conversation we have people advocating for political views to exclude hiring here. I think which party is excluded would just depend on the company. Google and Facebook are known for being very activist in their thinking, and I know of a few larger companies that are very focused on more liberal policies. I personally think, no matter your political views, this issue could affect you.
Most companies don't care if there's no presence as it means you aren't broadcasting bad stuff. That's most of social media investigation - are you publicly aligning yourself with something that's not in the company values? My company is big on inclusion and diversity, for example, so if you're against that they want to filter you out immediately.
So job thread does anyone notice huge affect how much sleep they get versus how they do at work? I'm trying to figure out why my anxieties been spiking, realize I've been sleeping like crap. Simple Solutions are not always easy ones.
Meijer news I am looking forward to Christmas, the next few days at work are coasting, then back to business next wednesday.
Wow, I didn't know I had such a low googleability. I tried my name, and didn't see anything associated with me for the few pages I checked. Too bad.. I am not going to ever look for a new job if I can help it, so there's no reason for a low profile.
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

Absolutely. We don't get nearly enough sleep and eventually it catches up and I have a day or two of just horrible anxiety. I end up just standing frozen in the shower thinking of ways to justify not going to the office.
I'm also finding I need to better balance the coffee I need to function versus the coffee that will cause me to be a jittery mess who thinks he's going to have a heart attack.

Cannot stop patrol to document things like breakins.
Cannot pause app to other tasks like calling boss or the police without loosing crap I've already documented.
In practice, feels like apple maps crossed with the buggiest obsidian product.
Also, the constant uploads to servers mean we cannot change tasks inside parking garages or anywhere with poor sigals

I turned clutter off after the fourth time an email from my same domain was put in clutter. I think it's default state is broken.

Amazing. That was possibly the worst interview I've ever had.
It involved arguing with a grown man about the meaning of the word transparent

I'm legitimately at a loss how to report security issues.
#2 in department also put in notice.
So promotion opportunity...after someone pawned the ship's reactor for a plate of avacado toast.

You pretty much lose all your accreditations if you're an actual nurse/doctor though.
