SAGE concerns:

– Combining #water basins without #public #consultation and #assessment of #environmental impacts risks aquatic and riparian #ecosystem #health.

– Expanding the latitude of water use under the current water #license #system increases the amount of water being removed from #river #systems, which already do not meet minimum flows for river health for portions of the year.

Combining #water basins appears to allow the inter-basin #transfer of water without #environmental #assessment, #evaluation of cumulative effects, adequate watershed #management or #public #consultation beyond directly affected parties. In other words, the #legislation deems the two distinct water basins to be one. Expanding Ministerial #power for decision-making obviates the necessity for public consultation, environmental assessment and #parliamentary #debate.

The Assignment That Tells Hiring Managers Nothing New

기술 작가 채용 과정에서 다수의 인터뷰 후에 추가로 요구되는 글쓰기 과제는 이미 인터뷰에서 확인된 역량을 중복 평가하는 경우가 많아 후보자와 기업 모두에게 비효율적입니다. 특히 AI 도구를 활용한 부정행위가 증가하면서 과제의 신뢰성이 떨어지고 있습니다. 대신 후보자가 실제 작성한 포트폴리오를 면접에서 직접 설명하고 토론하는 방식이 더 효과적이며, AI로 대체하기 어려운 진정한 역량을 평가할 수 있습니다. 채용 담당자는 후보자의 시간을 존중하고 실질적인 대화에 집중하는 채용 방식을 고려해야 합니다.
