The off topic thread #2

Beatlemania was pretty scary. Nobody had really ever seen anything like that before. It was insane.

It was unprecedented for its time. Arguably still today.

The Bee Sharps parody episode from The Simpsons really is brilliant. Would be in my top 3. The bigger than Jesus moment always makes me laugh:

George Best was kinda a big deal you know

Pretty sure they moved the national anthem to before the fight in order to prevent controversy from Mundine not standing up to it. Not that I've followed it closely, but from what I understand it was a deliberate move so he wouldn't be placed in that position.

Hardly see how that 'rekt' him.

he would have done a Kaepernick.

This is the first time I've turned to BF for help but I'm really stressing out about this so if anyone has any idea about this kind of shit advice would be greatly appreciated...

I'm looking to move on from my current employer and I applied for a new position online about a week ago. I received a phone call from them at the end of last week saying that they want me to come in for an interview this Wednesday. They also asked me to provide a report that I have written from my current employer but they specifically stated to delete the details in the report (I'm guessing company logos, names, signatures, etc.). Am I allowed to doctor a report and send it to them or would I be breaching my employment contract by providing another organisation intellectual property? I'm guessing it's fine if she has requested it and told me to delete stuff, but I don't want to do anything wrong by my current employer.

Any ideas?

As long as you delete any details that would be considered sensitive information it should be ok. Bit strange to ask for one in that situation though.

Legend. Thanks SM. Yeah I was surprised she asked. Thought it's a bit unnecessary.

what industry mate?

Property and real estate.

put a black texter line through any sensitive details and you should be fine. Easily justifiable in an interview situation and it shows loyalty and business ethics.

Is it your work or the companys?

Sweet, cheers mate! I wrote the report.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

cool. Some companies ask for competitors work to gain a competitive advantage. As it's your work it is completely reasonable.

Best of luck mate

 

[glenferry23]

Agree with what Bojan and SM have already said. Just one further point if you are still concerned Gosha, you can always ask for the document to be returned.

ie bring it to the interview to show them and read it, but then take it back with you (rather than leaving it with them if they will accept that).

Dead set? That's farken dodgy as.

Thanks for the help mate. Hopefully it all goes well.

She wanted it e-mailed to her before the interview so I might just edit the shit out of it and send it to her. SM, Boj and yourself seem like intelligent lads so I'm feeling a lot more confident about it now. I'll be coming for you all if anything bad happens though

could you print it out, black out the sensitive stuff and then scan and email to her?

And don't send it to her from your work email hahaha

Yep, if it's a report with client/customer names or whatever, just edit out their names and that SHOULD be enough - though Bojan would know more than me. I know when I get remuneration reports from clients for instance, quite often they'll black out names, as we only need to see the breakdowns of salary for our purposes, not the actual names, but there may be other things Boj thinks should be censored.

Super Bowl Sunday / Waitangi Day. Good times. Wings in the oven. Coronas on ice. Day set!

 

[Jatz]

Got the Super Bowl on one screen, work on the other one. Only one screen is really in use...

 

[WealstoneRaider]

This superbowl thing is shit. See if I can make it through to Gaga

 

[Bojan KantKick]

 

[chef]

Go Falcons.

 

[Jatz]

Terrible Super Bowl thus far.

Feel for Brady - lack of any running game is killing them. Just makes them so predictable.

He looks deflated.

Lack of D doesn't help

Good riddances, Pats

 

[jd2010]

Something Essendon/United about the Pats. Good seeing them lose
