If you’re that good, you can contract yourself out.
The future is self-employment and unions.

Of the two I’ll pick wandering into the forest and dying of exposure.

That’s quitter talk, I believe in your ability to become a mystic mountain/forest/cave person that people hear rumors about when hiking the trails during a full moon.
Be the eldritch horror you want to see in the world.
HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 months ago
That’s my plan, when the time comes i become the mountain man. I’m not giving up on life just this life.

Then I’m a quitter.
Fuck everyone.

I mean, I used to be an accountant and now I’m a starving musician. It can be done.

Unions are definitively better than wandering into the forest and dying of exposure.
They still don’t beat just wandering into the forest no risk of dying tho. Have you seen 'em sequoias?
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Are there people in the unions?
If so the forest is preferable.

In many cases, you pretty much didn’t exist before you stepped through the doors at your new company. People in all departments are too overloaded with work to take their time properly vetting every person joining the circus

Most companies use background check services nowadays. Sure, you could try to just invent a new persona, but HR will flag you when your name, SSN, DOB, etc come back as bogus.
There are even background check companies that specialize in corporate background checks. They’ll try to estimate or find things like how much you made at your previous/current job, so the company you’re applying for knows what they can offer you without it seeming like a lowball. If a company can spend $100 on a background check and save $10k per year on an employee salary, that’s an easy financial decision for the company.

“most” is the keyword here.

I’d hire him.
I mean, I don’t have a company, or employees, but if I did…I’d hire him.

And who is going to know? If you are stupid enough to release the code to your private account, then you might have difficulties to find a new job. Other than that, except when you were in a niche, no one will ever know it was you and the company is not allowed to tell others.

That’s absolutely not true. The generally accepted policy is to only confirm dates of employment, conduct, and if they would rehire. The can share anything that isn’t a lie.
Additionally, if you commit sabotage you can have charges pressed against you. Serious ones with possible prison time. That would show up with even a rudimentary record search.

I guess it depends on where you live. I could imagine that in the US, you as an individual get way less protection than corporations. Where I live, spreading around that you are a criminal, would be itself a criminal offense, unless you are a person of public interest.
Criminal records have to be provided voluntarily and may not be asked for, if not strictly necessary.
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
And you bet your ass the company would share the court documents with anyone who asked.
davidgro@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Pretty sure before hiring they can check for criminal records.
zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months ago
Where Iive, you have to provide those voluntarily and it is only allowed to ask for it, when you work with sensitive data or in sensitive environments.
