I thought IU would put up a bigger fight than this.

I think the Broncos and Chargers will both remain in and it’ll be pretty anticlimactic for the other few teams. 

Agree with this.

T's and P's justin. wild shit going on in that building. meanwhile miami is just incompetent. seeing the jets be generationally incompetent means we have at least some upside.

Honestly, I think I'm done until Woody is gone. The NFL should investigate and step in and force a sale if this article is true. I do have some doubts, as Russini is a notorious Jets hater, but I also could buy it all so who knows.

Nothing like Newark for the holidays!

The court house is pretty cool.

Nope, he wasn't in the office today. But the 8 of us in the meeting are all in agreement that it's a poorly thought out idea that could have pretty bad consequences for the company. The 2 managers have attempted to talk to him about it, as well as another VP that is part of our extended team. Another VP told us to just not come in, he doesn't think he'd fire us.

Our managers are convinced he listened to a podcast that said this was the way to go to improve productivity, so I'm not sure he really gave them a convincing argument for his decision. When they pushed back and said the team might lose two members with very important skillsets he responded with something to the effect of "they'll get used to it and end up loving it." 

We'll see how it goes, I have until January 6th before the mandate goes into effect. I think the other guy is going to leave regardless of how it plays out. I'm willing to let things ride for a bit and see how far I can push the issue. I am "happy" (willing) to go in 4-5 times a month. Depending on what I'm working on, some weeks would be zero days, but some could be two days. 

Came to the office today for an in-person meeting with our local team of engineers and managers (VP of tech is in from Chicago), and yeah, the big boss is serious serious about everyone coming in every day. 

Going to Newark next Thursday after work. Staying until Sunday. Everything else is local.

I think the lesson here is stop investing in old QBs coming off major injuries, like the Jets also did. 

New high over $107k.

$420, 694.20 maybe

No clue.

$106, 4xx was the highest I saw. 

$125k by Christmas.

I'm not sure, honestly. But yeah, I'm not too worried about it. I can't imagine it would go over well with our extended remote team that I was let go because I didn't want to work in the office while they're all in different states/countries and now they will have additional work added to their plate to make up for it.

Is working remote stated in your offer and/or contract? 

I don't have a contract.

I slightly misspoke in my main post when I said HR people. We have one HR person that was just hired. The other person is our office manager. I'm wondering if the HR person came in and said "we should bring everyone into the office full time to build a culture!" and the CEO said ok.

this may be exactly what they're expecting. maybe they wanted to trim back some of the workforce and realized this would be a way to shed some people without laying off anybody.

I know that's likely the case for some places, but it's definitely not the case here. We have funding and are hiring a lot of people, and losing anyone from my team would be a huge blow to the goals of the company.

Took the Rams and the over so of course it’s all field goals.
