How can Jones still have a job after this week.  They are officially the worst team in pro sports history.

Not every nhl team was healthy, they expanded.  There's going to be struggling markets but thats on them not the league 

It will be on every other team.  How many times in the CFL have other teams had to chip in to bail out a franchise.

I will be away for a week so the final game from last week won't be reflected in the standings until I get back.

Hand hit the QBs head.  Didn't get a good look to see if the QB was ducking when it happened.

The body of the traffic light may have been made of a different material altogether- ie: metal

I mean the whole other traffic light beside it that didn't melt.

Upon further digging...

Depends on what the streetlight cover was made of- crappy plastic would melt like that.

If they were using crappy plastic, wouldn't it melt both?

Do you really think a heatwave would melt a street light?

Yeah they got people excited with FA, there was lots of hype to start the season. Plus the ticket give aways, plus the guarentee to win. 30k was solid. It's been dog **** since.

Name 1 head coach, that lost half the games at home Jones has that has bee  given endless chances? This isn't the NFL. Lapo is the only one that comes to mind...and I'd take him over Jones no questions asked. He actually built a divisional championship team.

At the end of the day, in football you're judged by your W-L record. Not your Social media presence, or you're ability to draw a crowd before they see the product. Cui will go down as one the worst hires in edm sporting history. Regardless of the factors placed in front of him.

Jones is 4 - 20 since taking over the Elks.   .200 winning percentage.

gbill2004 is another name I had long forgotten about. Didn't he also get banned? Or just quit or something?

He was banned.

......And worthy of being banned.....Seems he just couldn't stop himself from going into a diatribe of insults, and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why he so disrespected the team he was brought up with, and at one time was so fond of

He was also a big wrestling fan, and my theory is he really looked at himself as the equivalent of a wrestling heel.

He's never openly posted on MBB that I'm aware of but no doubt he's had one or two throwaway accounts for hit-and-runs that immediately got called out for being a little too Nate...

He didn’t last too long before being banned.

I get it. Just super weird to me. Do we really need something like this in Winnipeg to hype up the crowd? Feels sad...

Think it's more entertainment than hyping up the crowd.  It is happening during a commercial break.

Or increase the wage of those that still have to go in.

In a work place where you have a certain segment of the work force that has transitioned to WFH, yet another segment that continues to go into work on a daily basis- its unfair to those that are still required to go into work, that the WFH group gets the benefits of saving on, parking, transportation costs, the additional time lost when commuting to and from work, while wages remain the same. It just creates a further divide in equitable wages between certain groups.

Don't get me wrong, I am all in favour of WFH if the work can be done almost or as well as from work. I am a huge advocate of WFH and see the huge benefits for both employees and employers. I just feel that those that are still required to go into work are being "left behind".

If anything i would rather the employers pony up some sort of bonus for those thatvhave to go into work to offset the cost and time of commuting, than reduce the wages of those that are WFH.

I think that would be fair.

 

I also agree with you @Richon all your other points.

 

 

Whatever semantics you use, it is paying someone less for working at home.  
 

I guess it would depend on a lot of things.  Like does everyone have the option to work at home and choose not to.  Or do some roles require people to be in the office.   But I would be much more in favour of subsidizing things like parking.  
 

As mentioned above, remote work also saves a company a bunch through office space and related costs.  
 

Interesting enough there were companies who pioneered remote work that had sliding pay scales based on what city you worked in.  But that has gone more and more away as remote work has become more prevailant.  
 

If you pay someone less who is a high performer for any reason, you tend to lose that person over time.

WINNIPEG, July 2, 2023 - The Winnipeg Jets announced today they have acquired defenceman Artemi Kniazev from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for defenceman Leon Gawanke.

Kniazev, 22, played 61 games for the AHL's San Jose Barracuda in 2022-23 and recorded 28 points (5G, 23A) and 32 penalty minutes. The Kazan, Russia native made his NHL debut for the Sharks on Nov. 4/21, his lone NHL game to date. Kniazev, San Jose's second-round pick (48^th oveall) in the 2019 NHL Draft, played his first North American professional season in 2021-22 when he also saw action in 60 games for the Barracuda and posted 28 points (7G, 21A) and 55 PIMs.

Kniazev played his North American junior hockey in the QMJHL with the Chicoutimi Saguenees and recorded 95 points (29G, 66A) and 104 PIMs in 120 games over three seasons. Internationally, he has represented Russia on multiple occasions, including the 2021 World Junior Championships where he posted four points (1G, 3A) and 10 PIMs in seven games.

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. 

Lets move discussion to GDT

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.

No, it sucks. It looks and operates like a Geocities site from 1998. 

This is THE place to be if you're a Bombers diehard.

Should be thankful that there are enough Bomber fans around to be able to support two sites.  Not every CFL city has that support.  People having options of what they prefer is never a bad thing.
