Job and General Employment Thread

Guy retired last week. Started his own consulting company. We had a question about something he did while working here. Colleague calls him: his response to a simple yes or no question: “I do enough volunteer work, I’m not volunteering for you guys. Give me a purchase order and we’ll talk.” That’s h...

RIP

I feel less affected personally than most about this as your typical Pittsburgh basketball fan- big on college, not so much NBA. Kobe was injured the one Laker game I attended in Cleveland. I didn’t watch him play much. My daughter, about Kobe’s daughter’s age, however is a big Lakers fan since watc...

Villanova could not have tried harder to hand the Friars a win today but they refused to take it. Took 15 more shots than Nova, 3-23 from 3. I realize he's not out on the court shooting but disappointing performance by my man Ed Cooley this season. Be insanely lucky to come back and end the season ....

Rundown of pens actions so far? I looked it up this morning and i saw this started at 9 so I've missed it until now Essentially Jarry had several shooters miss the net on him this not counting as consecutive saves, thus his run of 7 shooters not scoring was actually 4 saves so he wasn’t competitive...

You can have one sentence paragraphs.

The point thats been made about Cook is that his stories are chock full of them .

That’s fine if you’re going for tabloid journalism.

Or in third grade.

I want to celebrate Mark Madden. His journalism at Triblive is truly enjoyable. Except for one thing. He seems to have attended the same school of writing as Ron Cook. Except he went to Duquesne, which is less prestigious than Northwestern, a school of which Cookie is an alumnus. There's one thing t...

As a Supply Manager I can verify that people who wait till the last minute to issue a req then figure you can turn a 12 week lead time into the 3 they need and scream when you cant because “just buy sh*t” can go eff themselves.

Im sure thats where this stems from. Every company has them.

I wouldnt watch this if you paid me (well maybe for free beer) but just noted that all lead up the guy was COWBOY. But today he is some shlub just named “Donald Cerrone” like he’s the guy in the next cube over or something.

So this dude took an expansion team to the SCF, made the playoffs the following year, and is 3 points out of first place in the third year, and they fire him? Those are some ridiculously high standards.
Correct

Also doesn’t DeBoer get a new job like every week?

Move out of the sticks, fellas. We order through Grubhub/Door Dash/Uber Eats/Eat24/etc probably 3-4 times a week. I live in the city. Door Dash sucks in Pittsburgh for whatever reason.
