My understanding is that they will still mail you a check.

It depends on your income level. I don’t remember the number, but above a certain income you don’t qualify. Whether or not you paid taxes at return time or received a refund doesn’t matter.

Hockey in July? Why bother. There is life outside that needs living....

LOL I'll give you points for consistency, even if it is misguided.

Then you have no idea how well this community supports an entertaining team.

Players want to come to winners. The amount of time it's been since you've heard positive things is equal to the amount of time this team has been bad. How soon you've forgotten the hysteria around here in '05-06. The problem is, the stupid moves the team made started showing up right around '07.

It is interesting how consistently you place blame on the fans. The fans are there and willing to support. They have not been provided anything worth supporting. You have it ass backwards. And the best fan bases absolutely stay home when the team sucks for long periods. Every team has an amazing fanbase when they are winning. Every team has a library for an arena when they aren't. Except Toronto. They are too stupid to know the difference.

Oof. Good luck. I'm tired of job upheaval. I wish I knew what I could/want to do to work for myself. I really dislike working for corporate America.

This ***** must be super serious. Germany canceled Oktoberfest.

It's a thread about the 1970 draft. Fercryinoutloud

More than just hourly employees. Manufacturing Engineers tied to day to day operations come to mind as well.

Yup. I said it looked like we might be trending towards an internal budget time. Certainly, the unlimited budget in off ice areas is a thing of the past.

I thought I heard somewhere that Cuomo has indicated zero interest in a national position.

Cheeses. One good owner in all these years. We knew we had it pretty good. We never knew how good. Thank you Knoxes for being what this community always deserved.

This particular set of players to me is a microcosm as to why we've never quite been good enough to lift a cup. That first set of choices is the counter to Claude Lemieux, Brad Marchand, Ken Linesman, Esa Tikkanen. Our historical best guys don't quite match up. We see that in several of the categories so far.

So did Matt Ellis. LOL

Tenets of capitalism are only bad when it is applied to certain industries. Or only to certain segments of certain industries Hmmm.....

I guess our opinions differ on Kaleta. I don't think he had the hands or hockey sense at all. I think he was a straight up give it everything you have and make the roster through sheer determination and effort kind of player.

I never indicated avarice. In fact, I specifically mentioned budget, which could be as neutral in intent as you want to see it. See, you do assume. ?

Where are these "normal" severance packages coming from? It's been awhile since any company in my field offered that kind of severance, and if it were a performance related decision as assumed here, severance wasn't in play anywhere I've been employed. Given what we've been hearing, I don't know how you assume PSE was on the generous side of industry standard right now. If they are in controlling costs mode, I would imagine soft skills costs would be among the first to get cut.

This system doesn't work in alot of manufacturing type positions where X output per day/hour/whatever is required. You can be 20% more efficient than the next guy, but if you aren't there on Tuesday, Operations has to adjust to make that up. It sucks that most places enact policies to manage it that effectively de-incentivizes the use of sick time.
