The Glade 4.0

(Newser) – Don’t you hate those overpaid public employees? Why, just look at Brian Deschane. He’s racked up two drunk driving convictions, has little experience, and no college degree, yet Scott Walker’s administration is paying him $81,500 a year, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports. How did he get the job? Well, it probably didn’t hurt that dad Jerry Deschane is a longtime lobbyist for the Wisconsin Builders Association, and that the group’s PAC was one of Walker’s top five campaign donors—ringing up $121,652 in donations.

But the elder Deschane says he’s sure that’s not why his son was hired. “He got the position himself,” he says. OK, he admits, he may have mentioned Brian to Walker’s chief of staff a few times. “I put in good words for every one of my children in their jobs,” he says. To be fair, the younger Deschane must be a great worker; in two months on the job he’s already earned a promotion and a 26% raise.

The private sector can do whatever they want, but when you are spending tax payer money they need to be above board with how they employ people.

Facism is not a school of thought, it is a racial slur.

How do you know they weren't?

I didn't get my current job through a connection.

Gross.

I bet it was. But you hung in there and got the job. Good for you, man. Go whitey.

Now, speaking of blowjobs, do you know why they call it a blowjob? So it'll sound like it has kind of a work ethic attached to it; make you feel like you did something useful for the economy. As long as I'm being a complete pig up here, let me ask you guys a question. Let me ask, let me ask one question of the men: are you ever able to watch a woman eating a banana and not think about a blowjob? Huh? I can't do it! And I know why: I'm a sick evil ****. I accept that, but I can't do it. Eating a banana, eating a pickle, licking on an ice-cream cone. I'm saying to myself, "look at the tongue on her! Wooowww!" So you women be careful when your standing in front of that Hägen Daz, 'cause, god-dammit we're watching, hah, and, god-dammit we're thinking.

I bet it was. But you hung in there and got the job. Good for you, man. Go whitey.

The whole idea of creating and maintaining connections is if you plan on being unemployed soon or a lot or already are.

Then you're doing it wrong. You should always be on top of the rumors and possible buy outs and things, there should always be enough contacts to warrent your next move up should there ever be a breeze going the wrong way.

Contacts are used to move up the food chain, and only very rarely, to save you from being eaten.

Mergers are happening to the biggest companies in the world, look at wyeth and pfizer. but I digress...
If you have the ambition, then you should know, moving between companies are the best way to move up... it's the only way you can skip bottle necks in promotions.

You may have job security, but if you're still in the same position in 3-4 years time, you're doing it wrong.

Not saying you are, just saying how you could do better.

I've learnt that no matter how good you are, there's always better.
