In this instance it would be entirely appropriate to require a note from a clinical psychologist that she is too impaired to work. It is entirely legal and puts a stop to that behavior. |

| Jesus. Are you saying you taught students who were prisoners?
Clarity is paramount, and I have little patience for having to ask more than once. |

Ugly Bag of

| When I was hiring in the litho shop I worked in, I ran applicants through a 10-minute test after a brief interview. Of course I could tell one way or the other in less time generally, and I knew when I had a good one.

| I had to spend 30 minutes explaining the concept of cavitation to a new Aerospace engineer. Was interviewing an Electrical Engineer. Showed him a relatively simple circuit diagram. His response "Well, this is obviously a pressure system diagram." The weekend at the college Didn't turn out like you planned The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand

Of course many were manipulative as hell, but I expected that. Most of them were quite well read something that surprised me. I did not mean to imply that they were model citizens. Not what I had expected and different from the county jails. I had expected characters out of a Capote novel. They were a varied group from LA to Chicago and New York.
We were treated quite well by the inmates.
Those sound like perfect C-level executives for private equity or hedge funds. Sociopath + manipulative describes the typical management brought in when a company is purchased. |
