Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ulorian - Agent of Chaos" data-source="post: 9418442" data-attributes="member: 16668">In almost all lines of work, there is no concept of publicly noticeable credit. For instance, I work in software development. I have run engineering departments and major software projects. Neither I, nor anyone I have worked with, has had a blurb stating that we worked on Project X. We, like most of the world that hands a resume to a prospective employer, rely on what's on our resume. If there is something in question, that employer can contact any of the previous employers on our resumes to verify that anything claimed is true.If I am an electrician, I can't point to a job I've done and say 'see, I wired that three way switch' and have concrete proof I've done so outside of the word of the home owner. Similarly, if I am a construction worker, I can't send an interviewer to a job site and say 'look, I've scratched my name in that wet concrete I paved'.To intimate that future employment is harmed by this... well, you'll need to explain that to me.</blockquote>
