    I had my debit card lifted a few years ago and someone got a couple of free McDonalds visits out of it. Seemed a bit unambitious to me.
    Why be ambitious if you don’t want to get noticed?

  • Samsung chief paroled months into bribery, embezzlement sentence

    It's actually quite shameful how Samsung execs can literally get away with such blatant corruption.  It says more about the Korean justice system than anything else.  They are literally sending a message that a different set of rules apply to those with money.  

    I'm currently looking to buy a new TV and as I walk through the stores, the moment I see a "Samsung" logo, I ignore it and look at others.  I don't care that it may be hundreds of dollars cheaper than say a Sony.  The less of my money the company gets the better.
    How is their system different from ours? Frankly, this news could be straight out of the USA, if you change a few names. There has always been leniency for the wealthy & powerful in the USA’s justice system. In most cases, there aren’t even criminal prosecutions for systemic damage to our country by corporations. Corporations get away with things no individuals would, and the individuals running them rarely face any personal consequences.

    Samsung is full of executives who lie, cheat and steal. Yet Americans praise Samsung because they have commercials that say “Your American company SUCKS!!”

    This is the kind of thing that well-worn old-school corporations, who have something to hide, do.

    Pretty sad. 
    Not really, if I worked at Apple and they allowed anyone to know what I was being paid I would sue. It's no one's business to know what you negotiated as your salary or the raises you got for doing a better job than someone else.

    Knowing what someone else gets paid is hourly pay mentality. People who get paid by the hour always want to know no one else is getting paid more for doing the same hourly work.

    Your paid of yours and only your business and no one should ever share it. Next they will want to know other things about your which is none of their business.
    On what grounds would you sue? From this thread’s replies already, it seems the laws here can vary by state. Does California have law that guarantees you privacy on your salary?

    What do you mean by “hourly pay mentality”? Your usage sort of sounds like a pejorative. What’s the difference between hourly and salaried that would support a difference in privacy around pay?

    The inmates THINK they run the asylum. That’s the Millennial mindset. They are about to find out who really runs Apple.
    Why do you assume all of the relevant employees are millennials? Did you do a survey?
