[quote]There are college coaches- many of them - that would completely disagree with you about Taulia vs. Nix. Vehemently. [/quote] No need to get angry here. We are all homers, but I don't think that's the case. One is college ready at 17, and one still needs more development. There's nothi...

[quote]It's one of the stranger melts that I've seen.[/quote] I don't think people are melting. But none of them are excited to have to face Nix for the next 4 years. He's smooth, he's polished, he's accurate, and as far as being college ready, he's head and shoulders above Lia and Tyson at thi...

[quote] Probably loses 2 or 3 games.[/quote] Of the games you mentioned, only UGA would be a likely loss this year. There sure as hell aren't 3 losses on that schedule for Bama, even with 9 new starters on defense and an OC who has not been all that good in his previous stops....

Despite having the fewest returning D starters in the league, Lupoi and Golding will have them playing very well by mid October. Offense is another story. There's a ton of talent at the skill positions, but I'm not sold on Locksley as a playcaller. He can't be any worse than Daboll in that de...

Is no one going mention that he took a $107,000 pay cut to come to UA? ...

[quote] Didn't Bama play @ Duke recently?[/quote] Yep. In 2010. Honestly, that game was a favor from Mal Moore to his old friend David Cutcliffe. Cutcliffe oversaw the athletic dorm as a student when Mal was a young assistant coach....

[quote]or Jim the whistleblower, etc.[/quote] If you fire the whistleblower, you do it with the foreknowledge that you WILL be sued, and you WILL lose. I think that one's a given. As far as the others go, if you're ever going to fire someone in a protected class (a woman, a racial/ethnic mino...

[quote]I think the OP replied stating the person was working that extra 5 minutes he showed up early for. [/quote] If that's the case, it's only a problem if OP is up against a very tight labor and OT budget. Some business run razor thin margins. Shouldn't really be an issue at all if the...

[quote]The support staff where I used to work were on the clock. The clock was in 15 minute increments. 7 minutes past the last increment and you got the last time. So if you clocked out at 3:37, you were out at 3:30. So everyone clocked out at 3:38 and got the extra 7 minutes. Clocking in, ever...

[quote]But it's not time theft.[/quote] It is if he's skating the clock. [quote]Time theft is what we're all doing now posting about this on a message board while at work. [/quote] Most of the OT are exempt employees (or claim to be). The work is goal or project oriented and not hourly se...

[quote]quote: I don't pay my employees until their shift starts unless their supervisor says starting early is ok. That shite can get your company in trouble though. [/quote] This is the truth. It's best to pay out even the stolen time on their paychecks, even the last one. You NEVER want to...

[quote]If you are firing a potentially protected employee for arriving five minutes early, your reason for firing is going to appear to be a pretext unless there are well documented efforts to retrain employee. [/quote] You're not firing them for working early. You're firing them for skating the...

[quote]No. And if the employee is protected in one or more of a variety of ways, you are inviting a lawsuit where your alleged reason for firing will look like a pretense. [/quote] No, you don't invite a lawsuit for disciplining or terminating an employee for time theft. You are not responsib...

Your friend is very possibly right. Lawrence looks to absolutely be the real deal....

[quote]I get it, some parents are terrible. This doesn't mean that children don't have value and shouldn't be invested in by our society. Especially if you are concerned about the worse issues we face at the community level. [/quote] The children absolutely have value, but without support of th...

[quote]I know I’m yelling into the wind but go to a public high school where the college counseling staff is understaffed and underfunded.[/quote] Carlton, I'm not sure you have a lot of experience with this. It's typical for most schools to have a single counselor. If it's a large, wealthy sch...

[quote]People are actually trusting the word of Brian Daboll [/quote] Not the intelligent ones. Daboll proved himself to be barely competent. It's not even debatable. I'm glad he never got the chance to ruin Tua. I hope Locksley is more capable as OC. ...

New York, San Diego, San Francisco. Visit all three before you die. If you make it to those, then visit Boston and Chicago next....
