The Logitech Harmony remote was the gold standard for years, but they decided to close down Harmony

Doing some searching, it sounds like the Unfolded Circle remotes are really good, but they're always sold out.

POLL: CALLING ALL UTE FANS (again) Do you accept Ute Twitter users as your own?

CycloneCoug

4:53pm

What does “accept” even mean? Do you “accept” all the fans from all your teams?

Medute

Easy. Do you denounce Cheesefries and all that he says? Also do you denounce

ChiCityCoug

BYU fans will absolutely eat their own on X when they embarrass the fanbase

I do not use X. I have heard that there are some obnoxious Ute fans there.

They may have a plan, but I have no patience.

In N Out gives PT hourly employees PTO?

Yes this isn’t North Korea. Costco gives PTO also, Chipotle etc

Don’t most companies provide pto?

I don't think Contract Employees typically get PTO...

You’ve never taken two consecutive weeks off in your career? I’m so sorry

Junior Deputy

I think it's time for a poll, I am genuinely curious.

UpsideDown

5:35pm

another idea. accrue PTO with hours worked

insanobueno

4:54pm

I think this is fair even for contract work. He probably won’t accrue

arnold palmer

No way in heck do u pay it unless it was part of his original comp package

Contract workers get paid for the work they do. That is it

Exactly. That’s the breaks for a contractor

If PTO isn't in his contract, then I would say no. Like others have said,

Could TNT have some money?

Maybe he'd like a more permanent, salaried position. Do you want to keep him?

ochobeeguy

What do you mean by contract employee?

Rivers Cuomo

If you're paying him as a 1099 contractor, giving PTO might create legal risk

It's actually illegal as well in many cases. There's lots of laws around contract workers and dictating work and hours

septicpumper

5:17pm

He’s really asking - Am I worth it to you to treat me as an FTE (with benefits like PTO) in the future?

cougXor

5:20pm

Agreed. I coown a business as well. If he is valuable then 2 wks pto is worth it

YoungstownCoug

5:26pm

yep. the truth is that when you have someone valuable its worth keeping them

Don Carlton

5:28pm

Tell him you have some extra work that you would like him to do for free

cougarmeister

5:27pm

Sounds a little like this, and yes there are days I feel like this.

One thing I will caution…how long has he been a contract employee, do you expect him to work certain hours and tell him

They should really sell them
