I work for a commercial airliner (regional) on the ramp and cleaning planes (regional and mainline - 737, 738 etc).
Don't drink the coffee. The coffee pots rarely get switched out and are only cleaned with water from a water bottle, after an agent used the same gloves to clean other parts of the plane (assuming they don't start with the galley or taking out the trash).
I did some IT work at a hospital, patient records including names, addresses, conditions and doctor's notes (inc mental health notes) were stored in the database in plain text. You had to have admin access to the database (which I did), but I was stunned that I could browse anyone's entire medical information. A few weeks after I left I sent an anonymous email to a couple of people letting them know how bad it was - I didn't use my real one just in case they may have come after me for looking at the records.
i dont think it was a secret for anything
but i once went to a job interview at a phone support line for an ISP in my country
it turned out to be ... a sales department. basically that's what they called it. all support calls had to eventually lead into selling something.
that just seems so idiotic i couldn't deal with it
About 25 years ago I worked in a small town KFC franchise. Owner was, well, what you'd expect in a small town franchise owner - there was lots of pressure to cut costs and the manager had their job threatened at least once a month due to cost overruns (which cut into the owner's profits).
Manager quote, "I don't care if it's green, cook it anyway, nobody will tell once it's breaded and fried."
Software dev here. I once quoted a single line change to my manager. And the client was billed for 3 weeks. I understand that there's a support structure involved. But 1 line to 3 weeks??!? Tech consultancy is a sham.
I used to work in a very large mortgage company in their website. The amount of tracking they do, the amount of information they have, just for mortgages, is astounding and frightening. We knew almost every detail about someone before they committed to a mortgage.
The potato and gravy at KFC uses whatever crud fell to the bottom of the friers each day. Usually that was good chicken bits, but sometimes it could be whatever the staff were playing catch with for fun.
Oh and be nice to the people making your food. Trust me on that one.
If you're doing a holiday in the USA and renting a car via enterprise, Alamo or national book with Rentalcars.com, unless you're flying with doing a Virgin package holiday, in Which case do it with them. They have the best rates in the market due to special agreements. If you want the best customer service experience for rental cars book with Virgin as they will put a lot of pressure on Alamo/national/enterprise who will bend over backwards for you.
Nothing ever actually gets sanitized and we lots of "new products" are actually repackaged returns from other stores.
I was high the whole time, beginning to end.
