You've been told repeatedly but you're evidently too stupid to understand.
That is the crux of the problem -- Skeeter asks questions but is not equipped
to understand the answer, even when simple. Trump and the SCOTUS took away a
federally protected right. Period. It is not hard to understand but it goes
over his head.
How many times will you go out of your way to prove me right? LOL!
Maybe he doesn't realize how stupid this line of posting makes him look.
Or does not care. He knows others such as Pothead and Carroll / Glock will back his lies and trolling no matter what he does.
A Houston woman was fired for taking a personal phone call worked in payroll.
She logged into her computer and printed off 100 copies of the salaries of all
the employees. As she was being escorted out of the building, she turned and
yelled, "I left copies of everybody's salaries stacked by the printer." The >> boss, who employed friends and relatives for as much as double what the other
employees were paid, was in a panic as employees began reading out the salaries
and arguing with him and each other about them.
When I worked at Intuit we were told we had to sign paperwork saying we would not talk about our hourly wage. So I did not TALK about it. I put the number sans dollar sign up on the wall above my desk. My supervisor asked me to take the paper down... but I told him I could not talk to him about it until or unless we got rid of the agreement he made me sign. We went back and forth and
he finally gave up. I kept it there. Thankfully I was good at my job. LOL!

I'm skeptical that you ever worked at Intuit. I've known Scott Cook
since pre-school, and I don't believe he ever would have let a clown
like you work there.

No American programmer has an hourly wage. By law they are all exempt
and paid a yearly salary.

Please explain what you /really/ meant to say!
Thanks! 🙂
Sorry for being unclear.
OK, used to be TurboTax came on floppies -- and it was not uncommon for us to get calls where one of the floppies was bad. What Intuit *SHOULD* have done for us (tech support) was have boxes of disks for us. Someone calls and has a bad disk, we just send them a new one. But they did not. We had disk images and blank disks and had to copy and label them *BY HAND*. This was for states.
For the federal they did have this. Fed switched over to CDs earlier than states did.
I made scripts to help automate the creating of disks. I do not remember details (this was over 25 years ago!) but for Windows I had BAT files where you could just go to the DOS prompt and enter something like: MAKEDISK AZ and it would copy the image over to the disk in the drive. For Macs there was a folder and you just opened it and double clicked the state code (or did I use the whole name? Don't remember).
This handled the disk creation side but not the labels. I am sure there HAD to
be some pre-made solution out there, but I did not see one (or it was more than Intuit wanted to spend). So I used FM Pro and made a label maker -- you could pick what states and how many of each and load the labels into a printer. Also add how many labels had been used and it would skip that many labels. Say you have 12 on a sheet (I think that is what they had -- just the small labels, they were too cheap to get us the full sized ones). You could print 3 labels now and then later just let the app know you need to skip three
labels and print 2 AZ and 1 CA and it would print 3 "skips", 2 AZ labels, and then 2 CA disk 1s and 2 CA disk 2s (CA and NY had two disks from the complexity of their tax laws).
It worked well and when my team started using these things it made us more productive.
We used it for a few years before things went to CD only, and then to online downloads.
Why Intuit didn't just give us boxes to send out of "official"
ones... no clue.
