03/03 - Triple Trouble Thursday!

[C to the J]

I'm going to mark this day down on my calendar: The day that I was finally ahead of C to the J in PE.

Everyone got ahead of me in PE because I usually ditched that class.

That practice job interview hit was... interesting

My interviewer jumped ship and now I'm not sure if that means I won the interview or what.

Most?

Really, LADY who wrote the article?

re: that article, this person should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
"In her post, Williamson wrote that 'I paid hundreds of Americans living in poverty the equivalent of about $2 an hour.'"

Okay I am reading this woman's blog post and analysis now and I will redact this statement, as she says:

"Once I realized how poorly paid my respondents were, I went back and gave every one of my over 1,400 participants a 'bonus' to raise the survey respondent rate to the equivalent of a $10 hourly wage."

Plus she goes on to advocate for others doing the same:

"For a 3-minute survey of 800 people, going from a 20-cent to a 50-cent payment costs an additional $240. But if every researcher paid an ethical wage, it would really add up for people like Marjorie ... In this month’s PS: Political Science and Politics, a peer-reviewed journal published for the American Political Science Association, I have called for new standards for crowdsourced research to be implemented not only by individual researchers, but also by universities, journals, and grantmakers. For instance, journal editors should commit to publishing only those articles that pay respondents an ethical rate, and university ethics boards should create guidelines for use of crowdsourcing that consider wages and also crowdsourcers’ lack of access to basic employment protections."

So actually, I applaud her for doing the right thing. But I maintain that other researchers knowingly paying that kind of wage should be ashamed.

I literally never understand what any of you are talking about when I come in here what language are you speaking???

 

[LowCalCalzone]

That practice job interview hit was... interesting

The person I interviewed earlier went all feminazi on me.

I asked her if she does well at balancing her work and family life.

She wrote a 2 page paragraph about why she feels it's sexist to ask that question.
