Recruiting is a sales job, and you are the product. Understand that and you can be at peace with it.

I thought it was bottom fishing too, but then I thought about it. Even if they could find someone good enough and desperate, why would they hire them? Anyone with half a brain knows the guy will stay till he finds someone paying 37.50/hr, then leave.

Sounds like a company is trying to prove they just can’t find any Americans. Strange because I didn’t think the H1-B visa program was being expanded right now. From what I’ve heard and its all anecdotal lots of H1-Bs have had to leave the US. Not many are getting in.

When I read through this thread I realized i didn’t really know what the Consumer Confidence Index was, or how it was constructed. I’ve linked to it. It seems that the relatively small sample size makes any one months number suspect and that perhaps the suggestion of giving more weight tot he moving average would be better.

I’m a big believer in the reality that we never got out of recession, so for me there is no sense in trying to parse the tea leaves to know when we go back in. That being said, its hard to believe that consumer confidence is as high as it has been, considering unemployment really hasn’t gone down at all. To me its no surprise that confidence numbers are decreasing now that ever more are falling off the back of the bus.

If you have 110k to spend on a 2 seat roadster, are you really worried about battery life? When the time comes you’ll pony up the money to replace them.

The Tesla is a statement and its not an economic one. If I had the money (extra money that is), I would buy one.
