Well, certainly a dishonest company in any case is a bad thing. If there is a
law on the book, as there is in my sector, that requires certain things of
them, then there's not much you can complain about as far as the company goes,
but complain all you want to your government representatives of

Oops, Brazil. Thanks. I am amazed at how the United States is fastly
becoming a country far behind others in terms of freedoms from
government intervention into personal lives.

I work for the state oil company in Brazil, which has the monopoly of
all oil exploration and production. It´s the largest company in Brazil
and one of the largest in Latin America.
They check everybody upon hiring, but taking fingerprints is unthinkable.
But in the US, where paranoia seems to be t
This might seem like an obvious comment, but this depends on what type
of job it is.
I work for one of the largest financial companies in the U.S. in the
mutual fund sector. There are real, legitimate concerns with so much
money involved. To me, asking for my fingerprints wasn't an outrageous
In my country, it's against the law to take your fingerprints unless
you are accused of a crime and only the police can do it. It's a great
disrespect to treat an employee as a criminal.
You shouldn't have to prove yourself innocent, rather THEY should have
to prove you guilty.

I have to count myself as personally very lucky. I have actually
never had a company do anything really objectionable to me. I have
had very good luck, and remain a friend and even a close friend to the
people I have worked for in IT and in other areas.
I hope you did not suffer over this, Jim

Probably when my CEO tried for week to get me to stay at the company instead
of taking another opportunity. I spent about 2 hours a day for week in his
office as he explained why I should stay, comparing the opportunities, my
future, my pay, benefits, etc.

Does the company want to do defense contracting? Bush was re-elected.
This will speed up, I think. The old shallow analysis of "Well, I am
innocent of everything and I don't mind it" answer will become the
word of the day soon, I predict.
There might be a business reason to do this.
