What a turn of events!
Sucks, hopefully he recovers fully.

Your experience is a driver for hiring position and salary so why not vacation too? My wife is a director and deals with this a lot. If they’re hiring someone with 10 years experience in the field then they understand that person will likely ask for equivalent paid time off (PTO). It’s not like you’re demanding the PTO but you can say “I’m getting 4 weeks at my current position and would like the equivalent here.”

If you’re fresh out of college (I know you aren’t) and this is your true entry level hire then you probably have to take the 2 weeks PTO and just eat it until you have experience. Otherwise you should be in a position to at least ask for more.

I don’t know if it’s still the same but about a decade ago the standard was:

Entry level: 2 weeks
3-5 years on the job: 3 weeks
10-15 years: 4 weeks

Most places didn’t go to 5 weeks because we’re weird in America. Compare that with our European colleagues who typically disappear for the entire month of August. Right now many of them are out of the office and their message is “Not checking email, your message will not be forwarded.” Imagine trying to do that in America. We aren’t quite there as a culture.

Yup. Big difference in the American work culture and a lot of European work culture. It definitely varies in certain countries and industries but for the most part we are behind majority of them in time off. This was actually one of the smaller reasons my wife and I tried to look at moving to London. Certainly not the main reason or anything but just an added bonus reason. Unfortunately finding a company that’s willing to pay for your visa is extremely difficult.

Anything notable from the scrimmage today?

Anything notable from the scrimmage today?

Defense won the day according to Hubbs. Offense had more success in situational work. Joshua Josephs impressed on defense and James Pearce appears to be adjusting to the speed of the game.

 

[Falcons02]

Unfortunate for those young men.

Neyor woulda guessed.

Did anyone else see that article on DL Parker decommitting from Penn ST and coming here for a game this Fall? Said it was between us and Penn. Would be a nice pick up.

Man that sucks. Does he come back next year and risk another injury or hope he put up enough tape for a team to take a chance on him later in the draft? He might never play for Texas, hope the best for him but I thought he made a mistake going to play for Sark. Not a fan of him at all, but I get Neyor wanted to play at home.

 

[you]

jeez man

Post the article

Marrying Padma was an interesting way to try to avoid the spotlight.

Padma is truly beautiful but I don't think Rushdie has ever avoided the spotlight so much as he's tried to avoid the laser sights. He's been a public figure for a long time but understandably has to keep to a more rigid security protocol than most. At his age tho, I wonder if he will make any more public appearances.

"you," the troll you replied to, is an obvious troll who trying to make our board and fan base look bad by laughing at serious injury to a player. Please don't even reply in sarcasm, as you obviously did.

Was thinking the same thing.

I would think he would almost have to come back. Hate it for the kid.
