  1. The WFH Thread

    I am all for WFH, I think it's great, especially when used in an organization as a hybrid work force- be it department or employee.

    However, the WFH employees should have their wages reduced or those that go into work, should get a raise/ bonus or what ever.

    Why do you think people who work from home should get paid less?

    I work for a company that is 100% remote and has been since it started, even before Covid. 
     

    Gives them access to hire from a bigger talent pool, as we have employees from all around the world, in 40 different countries.  It’s about company culture and being deliberate in who you hire.  They even decided to do things like give everyone 6 weeks holidays to match what the Europeans in the company typically get.  
     

    Hire right and treat your employees well, and good things tend to happen.

    I post on OB as Blue In BC. For some reason I couldn't use my normal handle here. Regardless, it's good to be able to get some useful Bomber information while the other site is down. I would like to be able to correct my handle over here if possible?

    There was a Blue in BC account created December 2019.  

    https://www.morningbigblue.com/community/profile/3193-blue-in-bc/content/

    I could merge the accounts, if you would possibly remember the email address you used on the other account just to validate (can PM it to me).  If not, it doesn't look like that other account has been active since Jan 2020.  I could rename it so this one could pick the name.

  6. The Trade Thread

    Why not just trade him, since the player has already agreed to the trade in principle, and let Kings negotiate the value and term? Consensus seems to be Chevy got a very good deal in a situation where Jets did not hold too many cards. So it is conceivable, since Dubois still had one year left on his old contract, that while voiding the old contract, that Jets agreed to pay the first $8.5M on the new contract upon signing. So Kings only pay 7 of the 8 years.

    You can only sign a player for a max 7 years unless he was on your team on the trade deadline of the previous year.  Then you can sign for 8.  Kings wanted him locked up for 8 as part of the deal which is why it was dependant on the sign and trade.

  19. 2023 Week 1 Pick 'Ems

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    Pick 'Ems are back for the 2023 season

    How do they work?   Each week you pick the winners for all CFL games.  You get one point for every correct pick.  Whoever has the most points at the end of the year wins a $50 gift certificate at the Bomber store.

    Picks will be done through the polling system.  Polls close at game start of the first game of the week.  I will accept picks for games that have not started yet through PMs if you are late getting them in.

    Week 1 kicks off Thursday night football with the Lions visiting the Stampeders.    Picks need to be in by 8PM Thursday, June 8th.

  20. Twitter & GIF's

    Update on the twitter embeds.  In the support forums for the board software, there are many other communities experiencing similar issues, though it isn't affecting everyone.   The consensus seems to be that Twitter is blocking a range of IP addresses, which the server for this board got included in (anyone's guess into how they determined what those ranges would be).  It is likely caught up in something similar to this.

    Will continue to monitor, but not much more I can do on my end at this point.

    What does one have to do with the other?

    Well, nothing really, but....

    I was trying to figure out why Twitter links aren't embedding (no answer on this yet), but while doing so I stumbled upon a feature I didn't know existed and enabled it.   In the tool bar when creating a post, there is now a GIF button.   This is an integration into https://giphy.com and provides a quick way to search for and embed GIFs.

    Right in time for the new season and the game day GIF thread (if we decide to resurrect those).
