Severe corrosion–resistant Type 316 stainless steel.

I was recently specifying elements in drawings and had to use the above type of steel as they would be only some 50 yards from the seawater.  I was contemplating why would there be any other possibility really.  It all comes to the value system we apply in our designs.  Do we value the work we do, or the money the owners will spend, unworthy of resisting the salt water?  Why should there be elements, such as metal connections, that are unavailable in that type of steel?  Maintenance is not cheap; and in the end it is the better quality that costs less.

 Just attended a series of seminars on Real Estate and rehabilitation.  It is so interesting to see the difference in the way things are seen by investors vs architects and engineers.  Very informative in every way imaginable though, and surely a great place to network with professionals.

The dumbest part of employers’ bias against “job hoppers” is the idea that anyone would change jobs at the drop of a hat, for no good reason.

No one does that.

We change jobs when we are forced to, either because our current job becomes unbearable, to earn more money or because the job goes away.

We change jobs under duress, as a last resort. Who has ever quit a good job on a whim?

Good jobs are really hard to find.

The real reason employers spurn “job hoppers” is that they fear a person who has enough self-esteem to launch a job search when a job goes south is a person who won’t stay at their company for long, either - because of the problems there.

They are not afraid of your fickleness.

They are afraid that their dysfunction and lack of leadership will make you a short-term hire.

They require someone who will tolerate more abuse than you, apparently, are willing to put up with.

It’s stinks to be told your “job hopper” status makes you ineligible for hire but in reality you dodged a bullet
