Associated Press

Over the course of its 15 year history, Facebook has variously ignored news organizations while eating their advertising revenue. Now it plans to pay them for news headlines — reportedly millions of dollars in some cases. (Oct. 25)

So if you quit do you have to take a knife to your hand to get it out?

It's a good question

I'd like to think those drones asked that question before they had chips put in them.

Janet from HR cuts it out with a letter opener during the exit interview and gives you a bandaid with stars on it.

If you just walk the **** out and give them the finger can they go after you legally to get their property back? I'm sure they'd just rescind your clearance and forget about it but that does sound like something they could make a federal case out of.

It’s seriously like a last task that would be hanging over your head.

Just in time for Halloween, kiddies...



Trial opens in lawsuit over ‘Frankenstein’ use of remains

Quote:
A retired FBI agent described a horrific raid of now-closed body donation facility Monday, recalling a table stacked with severed human legs, heads stuffed in a cooler, and torsos without heads and limbs.

Mark Cwynar testified on the opening day of a civil trial that one torso had its head removed and a smaller head sewn on, comparing the discovery to a character from Frankenstein.
Quote:
Company owner Stephen Douglas Gore pleaded guilty in October 2015 to a felony charge for his role in mishandling donated body parts.

Though Gore has denied the allegations in the lawsuit, he acknowledged when pleading guilty that his company provided vendors with human tissue that was contaminated and used the donations in ways that went against the wishes of the donors.
Quote:
Attorney David TeSelle, who represents the families who filed the lawsuit, told jurors the facility promised donor families their relatives’ remains would be used for medical research and treated with respect and dignity.

TeSelle said the families weren’t told the bodies would be cut up, sold to third parties for profit and used in ways that the families wouldn’t have approved of. He showed jurors the business’ price list, noting a torso without a head went for $4,000.

Just had a flashback to 'that' scene in The Last King of Scotland.
