I Fafo'd around and caught whatever crud is going around. Likely at the dance competition. Laying in bed listening to baseball with cold chills is a salve.

It's gonna be great entertainment but probably depressing

Brought up my potential job promotion and tactics to approach it recently. Well I got the offer after corporate folks came in and got to know me better and I was able to show them my value.

Well, I got an initial offer that was a measly 21% raise. A solid 17% below what my predecessor would have made after a merit raise, who I had to teach basics to smdh...but she was an external hire. And the person before her would have been making 16% more...so that is the standard atp.

So I immediately declined and notified them of an incoming counteroffer. All I got Monday morning was... a shower of praise from the Plant Manager and HR manager. They absolutely loved the "testical fortitude" and gumption. To me it just seemed obvious, as I'm getting hit up by headhunters every other week and know my FMV, but I guess this is rare at my plant (probably why it continues to happen lol).

Now I'm in the position of setting the counter. I have an excellent bulletpoint sheet set up, but for the $$ figure...do I present my low end and hope they accept it or the high end and let them "meet me in the middle"? I'm thinking of the latter. I've come this far and am seriously ready (my direct report knows it) to turn in my notice if they can't reach my low-end (in the middle between current offer and my high end). If I left, they would be fuzzed 10 times over and my boss might not even stay (been there 40 years). I have all the leverages, so I'm shooting my damn shot and worst comes to worse I'll cashout 1 btc and find the right job. I'm coming to play ball and bringing my big wood.

Wish ole Devo the best

Prayers for you…..may things work out for your best interest….

Awesome! What a great story!

My justification is they don't have losses to inferior teams. We were beat soundly by KY, twice, once at home, and beaten by Vandy, and nearly beaten by vandy at home if not for a miracle comeback. Auburn destroyed KY at their house. Auburn has losses to 2 likely number 1 seeds.

We also played Auburn to the wire (missed foul away imo) at their house. Vols have been more consistent all year besides the UF game, but we did the same to them. We have more quad 1's too.

This is nuts…..and just another reason college baseball is so freaking great

Sounds like I'm going to have to bring Tony into my office tomorrow for a little stern talking to.

Crazy. Feel bad for the defense. That has to be a miserable feeling.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Another great story!!

Maybe juat get them a good night's sleep instead. They literally play tomorrow after playing really hard this weekend. I think they wanted out of this game and will have to buckle down to do it.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Was scrolling through Perfect Game, noticed this kid.

Feel like you don’t see too many kids play every single position.

Nope, 6:00AM, my office.

I don’t put much stock in midweek games since they’re mainly for player development and gaining roster experience, especially for pitchers—but I still want to win them all. I believe games like tonight are good for the team to grow.

 

[DD4ME]

Boom 2 run double
