Bert609

The only exception I have is if the employee takes advantage of the 3 hour rule

That sounds like an employee you should let go

"watching security cameras"...wow...what an awful culture and company to work 4

RockyBalboa

3:20pm

My rule is that they have to take PTO if it’s more than 2 days from work. More of a CYA thing, but I don’t care.

Trashy fiction. Because I love those $0.75 cent checks from Amazon every month

Given the state of society, I assumed those checks would be bigger.

I'm not sure we know what the "just good enough" line is that the administration holds. I know CBs line is quite high.

BigHouse Coug

Too bad Kw wasn't fired after his two 5-7 seasons.

How is BYU looking less than a P4 program than before they joined the Big 12?

byusage

By having less talent overall.

BigHouse Coug

3:14pm

I don't think so. Maybe less relative talent, but that is because competition

byusage

Even if it was the same we should at least be showing signs of progress at this

It's been one season. Don't believe everything you read about how BYU is going

I've ordered CFA for a few work events recently so I have a ton of points.

Maybe they have determined there is some added value to them in gathering purchase specifics on individual food items

You'll never find a more greedy entity than a not-for-profit hospital.

That’s absurd. Look how much they give in charity care

BYU '80

IHC gave me free medical care. They deserve a shout out for that.

Prettiest pig of the litter.

Why do they charge people without insurance more than they do insurance company?

Over inflate charity care numbers. Simple

airbug

Those numbers are overinflated. Ever notice how much they

Yeah. I used to think charity care meant helping people get needed healthcare they couldn’t pay for.
