  The Grinch Who Stole the Ruby Jobs


A reader was kind enough to point out that making statements about jobs being advertised could be misconstrued as a statement about the policies of the companies doing the hiring.

I do not speak for any hiring company, and I’m sure that hiring companies do not particularly want me articulating their policies for them.

Therefore, my policy hereforward is that when I wish to describe a job, I will provide links to open positions or name companies hiring. If I quote something, it is partially or fully information provided by the company and it will be indicated as such in quote marks.

I know, what a bother. Sheesh. But there you have it, that seems to be the way the world works. Roll with it and let’s move on.
