Why in the h3ll did they go to showing every1's employment history to the whole world? Why is it any1s business what corps i've been in the past?
I think this is total BS. CCP should remove this immediately. In rl life it would be an invasion of privacy. Well, they are supposed to give the game a feel of realness.. this is not real at all.

Private investigators and government agencys can easily get this information on you, live with it and only take actions you actually can live with.
It'll also expose our ignorance recruiting a member from Huff Industries or whatnot, Biomass Cartels now official mining front... 
Need I say we lost a few items?

I know hun, will be really embarrassing for all those people in the habit of swapping to alt-corps to take advantage of the war declaration system ...
Or was it the couple of weeks you spent at Greasy Lisa's Call-out Massage Service ;)

Why do you care if people see your employment history, do you have something to hide?
This is a step towards reducing corp theft.
In real life employers want to see your employment history, so why not in game, seems very realistic to me.

Excellent feature -- and IRL your past employment is 100% relevant to future employers. It is also readily available in the public domain (you'd be surprised what you can dig up about people all in the public domain) to find out anybody's work history.

Dalman: usually you post somewhat reasonable statements... but, "this is good." OMG. At least make it an agent who can gather the info on a player's past employment. Not just anyone should be privy to this knowledge.
Spies and scammers are part of the game. (No, I am not one. I am a friggin pirate, ok.) All this did was weaken another aspect of the game so friggin big corp worry-worts like you can hire with more ease b/c a characters resume is at your fingertips.
This is NOT 'good.' Actually, it stinks.

Spies and scammers are part of the game.
Exactly, and legitimate players need more ways to defend themselves and their corporations against the actions of these players.
This addition is awesome; much needed and long overdue.
Mercy Killer take a hint; you're the only one making a stink about it.

Spies and scammers might play a part yes but no-one ever said that the same spy and/or scammer should play all the parts.

Wow... I can totally accept that most of you big corp, massive bank acct ppl would like this..
But some of you must admit it would be better to have agents for hire that can perform the function. I'm not saying make it difficult to find a 'Employment History Agent.' I'm just saying it shouldn't be this easy for every1 to have the info at the click of the mouse.
And yes, I was fully aware that a majority would disagree, b/c most of you forum junkies are settled in large corps with alot at stake. So, of course you would like a stupid addition like this.
Is there no one out there that can second my point: that the EASE for everyone to have this info is not right?

I am a pirate, in a small pirate corporation. In fact, my last corporation had next to no community assets because of the corp thief problem. I am not "the rich and powerful" and yet I disagree with you.
So there

This is a great Idea.... It was promised back in Beta.... Actually If I remember right, I think the plan was to see what other corps your other 2 chars were in as well :)
The is without a step in the right direction :)

Interesting. More proof that the back-water worlds where we pirates are raised have a serious problem with the gene pools. How much time did it take for you to think that one up, Synd?
I like my fellow pirates that are stupid. You make me look just a bit less stupid.

Nemesis: *snip* I've only been in two npc corps. The first was b/c every1 does when they start a character. The second was b/c I left my first corp. So, realistically I've only been in two corps.
Nemesis has just taught us our first lesson on how not to read our new employment history. If you're going to delve into some1's info... then do it right. Know what you're looking at and show info on the corps b4 you assume they are npc.

Well this not-in-a-big-corp NPC starter company 'lone wolf' likes the change, so there goes your BS about only the mega's will like it.
Why? Cause I might want to know who I'm trading with before I agree to meet somewhere.
Jeez what a whiner.

Last post on this subject for me:
This game is truly full of chicken ****s. Come on, now you want a full background history on some1 just to do business? This is ridiculous. I can see some reasoning in a employment history for interviewing purposes... but just to buy or trade with some1? OMG. Can we ask for any more guarantees that we can never lose money or be scammed? As much as all of you may snivel about, "I like to know who I'm interviewing...", you have once again made the game that much more mundane.

I do business with people all the time on this char. Buying and selling. The only thing that people insist on is that I do the business in 0.5 sec or above
But it never has been an issue

I agree, it is does indeed invade a players privacy a little too much. Same with standings.
But, on the other side, if youre not hiding anything, it comes in very handy

I'm ambivalent about this 'employment history'. Not whether or not the information should be availible. That's an argument I don't feel like getting into. It's just the ease of obtaining the information that bothers me.
I could give any of you my full name and you'd be able to find out any public information about me (which isn't much). But my employment history is not availible to Joe Average Citizen. Some parts of my employment history is not availible to Joe Average Employer either.

I wonder if other players can see my history? I wonder if they will find out I was a corp thief?
It really doesn't matter. If a corp wants you, they will take you; if they see something wrong, they can question it or not accept you. Seems pretty straight forward.
Trade is whole different ballgame. Players don't care about anything but price and location whether it be the buyer or the seller.
