@kunal_gupta01 Explain why he shouldn't have taken a higher paying offer? Did you try to match it?

A senior candidate who was supposed to start next week just backed out 😑 We spent significant time, energy, resources hiring him. Even incurred sizeable expenses on his travel stay etc. Waited for him for 2 months, team was in constant touch and was giving him downloads. Never gave a hint that he’s exploring further. Backed out today for a higher pay. What should you do as a company? Not the 1st time but this one really hurts. Efforts gone but should we atleast recover the expenses company incurred? What would you do?

@amitvarma It looks like Amazon has reached out to you but if you need further assistance Elliott Advocacy might be worth looking into. (The NYTimes used to have a consumer advocacy column called the Haggler which seems to have been discontinued a years ago) elliottadvocacy.org

@samanth_s in this sense the process is a great equalizer. Regardless of wealth or local lineage,we are all post-colonial subjects and they remind us of that status constantly.

@samanth_s I understand you're not asking for difficult individual VFS experiences from the applicants side, they are legion, but if interested, I had the most difficult experience I have ever had in 20 years of applying for Schengen visas, directly at the Belgian consulate in New York.

I’ve tweeted this in the past, but it’s a good time to do it again. If there are any former / current VFS employees out there and want to talk to me — DM me! A story is long overdue. (Frustrated Indians + others: RT to spread this tweet pls, so I reach a whistleblower or two.)

For Indian passport holders abroad, there is nothing worse than the uniquely archaic concept of EU Schengen Visa renewal *every 3 months* + @VFSGlobal (ofcourse its Indian) managing the processing end. I think 5 times about attending a European conference.

@samanth_s The VFS and the Schengen countries have a obvious profit-generating interest in keeping this visa regime alive. Even a 20-30 year travel record with no violations makes no difference to the credibility of the applicant.

@samanth_s They also questioned why I had been granted a longer visa by the French in the past and created many more unnecessary hurdles and kept my old passport with them. Happy to talk if useful to your story.

@samanth_s They asked for a letter from my employer approving remote work beyond the dates that I was traveling in Europe. They also asked for my American companion's pay stubs and letter from employer. Absolute overreach as Americans do not need short term visas. Total racist nightmare.

@samanth_s They made me return 3 times with more attestations and paperwork, I finally submitted a breakdown in hours of how much time I would spend in Belgium and Switzerland showing I would be longer in Belgium.

Design is easy. You just write 100 emails a day, attend 6 or 7 meetings and then start designing at 4:45pm.

The NYS WARN Act was passed in Feb 2009. Companies with over 50 employees must give 90 days notice if laying off more than 25 people or 1/3rd of the workforce. Do you know of mass layoffs in architecture post-2009 that gave any warning? @arch_workers_u @Arch_Lobby

@DanielDenvir To End All Wars, Adam Hochschild. It focuses on Great Britain and isn't comprehensive in the way you're asking, but interesting as a sort of history of dissenters to the war.

What’s the best comprehensive book on the history of everything that led up to World War I? Preferably but not necessarily by a living author.
