    In reply to The Unemployed's Newest Enemy: Cheap Credit Reports
    Credit Reports are a great to figure out if you're going to pay BACK borrowed money.
    They do not indicate at all whether you are liable to steal money.
    I mean, if you were willing to steal money, wouldn't you steal the money NOW so you don't have to go into default later?
    Employers are believe this shit because Experian got SHRM (Society For Human Resource Management) to shill credit reports as lie detector tests.
    It's not a credit score anymore... now employers see it as an "ethics score"

    Should we expect identity thieves to move from lurking around mailboxes to middle management?

    @Adah: Wouldn't they tack on some sort of cancellation fee? I'm assuming you're still under the 2-year contract that they got you to sign up for by dangling a cheap phone in front of you. (second sentence needs editing)

    @cmd: Or people who live in apartments who need landlines to buzz in visitors through the security gate. Or run a business from their home and need a fax (yes, major corporations still use faxes to communicate with consultants). Or those who live in earthquake prone areas and need a hardwire landline. :-)

    In reply to The Unemployed's Newest Enemy: Cheap Credit Reports
    It's called loss prevention. The question of whether those who are tempted to steal are tempted because they are in dire financial straits. Possibly stealing everything from pens to customer packages.



    See if you are in shipping where there is no money, you can still divert customer orders so you can sell them on ebay.

    In other words, every employee deals with money, if you realize that assets can be sold for money

    Like that computer at the empty cubicle next to you? $300 when you sell it.


    Thinking that you have to be handling dollar bills for it to be the purview of loss prevention is so 1980's.

    It has been going on for 15+ years. Johny come lately's.

    *punch* *punch*

    Not every article is "new" news, right Gabriel?

    @Iwillnotauditionforastar: Forgive me for going all libertarian here, but it's actually called invasion of privacy. There is a difference between screening for criminality and screening for credit worthiness.

    @The Real JR: Understood. But that doesn't make it right. Employers should be held to stricter "need to know" guidelines, in my opinion.

    Bush does have killer personality though. I will miss that. I hope President "O" isn't a stiffy when he gets into office. I want to see chest bumps with our soldiers, i want to see white house Vs. Pentagon b-ball games, I want to see President "O" actually BBQing some ribs on the white house lawn.
