Nordstrom's Employee 75 words Handbook: For many years, new employees were given a copy of the famous Nordstrom's Employee Handbook – a single 5-by-8-inch (130 × 200 mm) gray card containing 75 words: "Welcome to Nordstrom We're glad to have you with our Company. Our number one goal is to provide outstanding customer service. Set both your personal and professional goals high. We have great confidence in your ability to achieve them. Nordstrom Rules: Rule #1: Use best judgment in all situations. There will be no additional rules. Please feel free to ask your department manager, store manager, or division general manager any question at any time."
I’m so impressed I want to pay you less: "We're very happy with the work you've done for us as a contractor. We want to keep you on, but would like you to take a job as a permanent employee and continue to work on the project."
How To Become An Open-Source Contractor: This essay is about how you, too, can get paid to write great open-source software. If you're not a software developer, you should probably spend the next few minutes of your leisure time on a web page other than this one. I recommend The Really Big Button That Doesn't Do Anything.
How to Detect a Toxic Customer: "And while you (luckily) won’t encounter many toxic customers during your lifetime, after the first few you learn how to identify and gracefully step away when you see them coming. This is because toxic customers are not just a hassle, they can chew up support time, cost you money, damage your reputation by posting to Twitter/forums/review sites, and stress you to the point of wanting to commit an act of violence on yourself or others."
Why IT Jobs Are Never Coming Back - Computerworld: IT is becoming more utilitarian and more standardized. And broadband is making all of this easier to do. When you put all of those things together, there's inertia in terms of creating jobs in the U.S. The jobs that you used to think of hiring in large numbers-help desk, network management, data center operations, disaster recover, programming-all of those are going to migrate or have already migrated to places other than the U.S. There's no need to be local today. You can work on anyone's problems from anywhere.

Un parado descubrió un agujero en el INEM por el que accedía a los datos de los parados - Artículo en el 20minutos: El hecho fue denunciado por Samuel Parra, experto en protección de datos que ya fue noticia cuando condenaron a Periodista Digital por plagiarle. Los hechos se remontan a una época en la que estaba en el paro. Según informa 20 minutos, había sido sancionado por no sellar la tarjeta del paro el día que le correspondía, de modo que dejó de percibir la prestación equivalente a un mes de paro, unos mil euros. Al acceder al apartado de la web en el que se puede renovar la demanda de empleo, es decir, "sellar" virtualmente la tarjeta del paro, vio que se veían todos los datos personales que había facilitado al servicio de empleo al que se podía acceder en esta dirección, sustituyendo YYYYYYYY por el DNI de Samuel Parra, el informático descubrió que bastaba con cambiar su DNI por el de cualquier otro para acceder a todos los datos de esa otra persona.

Confessions of a Used-Book Salesman: "I spend 80 hours a week trawling junk shops with a laser scanner. I don't feel good about it. I make a living buying and selling used books. I browse the racks of thrift stores and library book sales using an electronic bar-code scanner. I push the button, a red laser hops about, and an LCD screen lights up with the resale values. It feels like being God in his own tiny recreational casino; my judgments are sure and simple, and I always win because I have foreknowledge of all bad bets. The software I use tells me the going price, on Amazon Marketplace, of the title I just scanned, along with the all-important sales rank, so I know the book's prospects immediately. I turn a profit every time."
