You can freeze the worknumber so people running background checks can't get information. When I changed jobs the company ran a background check and they kinda freaked out cause they couldn't get anything out of this database. I loved it.
They did not, because the number wasn't estimated by adding up predicted time per tracker or service, but by determining this is about the maximum the market can bear - i.e. a steady state of the system.
Curiously, Stratfor also predicted 60% chance of the US going to war with the EU before 2036, due to EU privacy regulation threatening to shut down the increasingly adtech-based US economy.
I would do the verification over email as that means they didn't typo whatever email you gave them (easier to typo an email address rather than a phone number).
I wonder if security of the payroll data lookup is even worse than the credit report website. A 'freeze' may be worthless if the data leaks are large. And a person making $18/hour to do child support case management may interested in making extra cash by looking up other people for a fee.
Agree on taking financial accounting at a community college or a university. Accounting is a way of thinking and I can't imagine learning it on my own.
Finance on the other hand is a bunch of mathematical formulas that are usually dumbed down. With OP being technical they should be able to learn the finance stuff on their own.
I had a biology professor say something to the effect of "when you have energy that's because you're burning energy." You workout, you get your heart rate up, your metabolism is going, you feel energized and you think better.
Another way to put it is laying around on the coach, eating and sleeping a lot will not make you feel more energized even though you filled up your tank
Upvoting cause I agree in principal with where you're coming from in the sense that employers and employees should be able to bargain in their contracts and include clauses like non-competes as long as they square with the public policy of the state.
My issue (and probably yours) is the way non-competes get handled by employers
* Every non-compete I've signed has been sprung on me while filing out paperwork on my first day. What am I supposed to? Walk out and be unemployed while I look for a new job?
* What do I actually get for a non-compete clause? Judges routinely rule that continued employment is enough consideration for near-anything including non-competes. But if some companies don't have non-competes, to me that isn't true consideration. Me signing a non-compete that isn't worded in this-for-that like standard contract clauses should be should be treated as a gift on my part by the courts that can be revoked
* Many states have restrictions on non-competes but most non-competes for national companies are boilerplate and often too broad. Combine this with a mandatory arbitration agreement and employers are doing an end-run around state labor laws either through arbitration or just strong arming employees
