The government can gain access to your Google records since the records belong to a 3rd party. The records can also be subpoenaed by the courts. Right now Google tries to protect your privacy, but what would happen if it became more profitable to Google to share the information than to protect it?

The California Nurses' Association has helped the California nurses tremendously by supporting mandatory safe nurse to patient ratios.

GE has developed a method to evaluate job performance that is being implemented in other companies and in the hospital where I work. The system requires that 10% of the employees be given a "0" for job perfermance each quarter. This translates into no pay increase. 5% may be given a "5" which translates into a 5% pay increase. 5% may be given a "4" which translates into a 4% pay increase. 75% may be given a "3" which translates into a 3% pay increase. There are no "2" or "1" categories. The only mandatory category that supervisors are required to assign is the "0" category. Personally, I find this system very unfair. In a department where everyone is doing their best, some will receive a "0" for their efforts, and only a few will really be rewarded for their hard work. What are your thoughts on this. Are mandatory zeros legal? I would certainly like to hear the opinion of a lawyer
