The best one is Jonny, saying "Dad"?

With the hiring announcement he has increased his joke count two fold. Big day!

Hot Tip (at least at my local Taco Bell)...

socorny

3:08pm

My hot tip: Build your own meximelt - Order a cheesy roll up off the dollar menu and add beef and pico.

kccougar

This makes me feel bad for throwing away pennies.

Ragnar Danneskjold

Yup, can't leave money on the table, Rag.

One of the best feelings at work is when you hire for a technical

Carnac

I once talked with a guy whose manager was a total technical genius. Example: he would get an email from his manager

cheezedawg

3:12pm

Been there.

Carnac

3:17pm

Are you underpaying him son? That's not honest

TNT

Nobody can convince me there’s a better beach spot than OBX.

North Cat Coug

2:57pm

We won't try.

cdr88

2:59pm

We're going there next month. It's my family's favorite place to go and it's never too crowded, even over holidays.

Conan

3:03pm

You ever try snorkeling at OBX? I love OBX and highly recommend everyone stay

I hear good things about OBX, but have never been. Is the best part just...

Kitty Hawk and the Roanoke settlement are worth a visit while you are there. But

I did horseback riding on the beach while there. That was fun

Pensacola Beach is a better family beach ...

Let me guess. 20 something from dc?

Hahaha close - 20-something from NC

North Cat Coug

3:15pm

Sanibel Island, FL is considered the best shelling beach (or at least in top 10) in the world

Zenoch

I think it’s the best place if you want a good mix of history, hiking, fishing,

So many great beaches; there's not one greatest beach

If you as a manager are a tightwad about how PTO is used, then

When I had sick leave and vacation leave...

I have sick leave, vacation leave and then also

cougarfann888

3:00pm

Hourly employees, I get it. But salary?

Corn Pop

3:05pm

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

RexIdaCoug

3:06pm

That sounds like an employee you should let go

PHXSUNS31

3:11pm

Agreed and I put that in my post

RockyBalboa

3:19pm

Why do they still work for you?

fredetteaboutit13

3:23pm

Depends on the individual. I don’t have any non-exempt employees anymore but

MormonThug

3:11pm

I agree with this. The line for non-exempt employees is less blurry/gray than

Crowd Factor

I'm currently in the construction industry and our company gives only 5 days PTO

Sometimes its not the direct manager. I'm very lenient on my employees but I

AltTabbins

3:16pm

"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.

COUGZ

3:18pm

Same thing I’ve implemented and it’s been great.

fredetteaboutit13

3:24pm

I'm not going to allow my direct reports to steal from the company. I am a reliable steward.

shimmy

3:21pm

Sounds like the type of job where you arrive right at 8 am and leave at 4:59 pm.

Cougarclaw

You can see why the other women in the WNBA don’t like CC when she says stuff

Do we have any authors on this board? What do you write and why do you write?

RE: Do we have any authors on this board? What do you write and why do you write?

Knee Brace

2:47pm

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

BYUtka

2:49pm

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

KCFan85

2:59pm

Probably not trashy enough... And they aren't "new anymore." The checks were

BYUtka

3:20pm

I wrote Indiana jones adventure style books and a sci fi book when I was a teen

BaseCoug

2:52pm

Cool. Why'd ya stop?

KCFan85

2:56pm

I think you should give us copies to read...

Fdnman

3:09pm

open textbooks that students can use for free so they don't have to buy one

runnincoug

2:55pm

That's impressive, man. What subject?

KCFan85

2:57pm

Educational psychology

runnincoug

2:59pm

Having seen the price of textbooks, I've gotta say I'm impressed ...

KCFan85

3:11pm

I'm published through self-publishing and traditional publishing. My 9th novel comes out this month.

jacobugath

2:57pm

what did you write?

fresnoa

Google my yewt.

jacobugath

3:12pm

Ninth novel - wow! Did you just sit down and start writing one day? What ...

KCFan85

3:10pm

I've had ideas for books since I was a kid. Started thinking about it seriously before my mission. At BYU I took a story

jacobugath

3:16pm

I have a semi-academic how-to book that I teach from.

Mises

3:01pm

Nice. Is teaching your fulltime job or a side gig?

KCFan85

3:17pm

Military History and Historical Fiction

2FarGone

Interesting. Maybe tell us more?

20th Century Warfare, Air Warfare, Military Strategy and Leadership

2FarGone

Worst case scenario for this year.

BigHouse Coug

2:43pm

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

Bob Vance

2:47pm

I would presume making it to a bowl game.

BigHouse Coug

2:48pm

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

cdr88

2:49pm

I guess a big factor would be the amount of progress made.

BigHouse Coug

2:50pm

I think we have Sitake for another 2 years (as per his contract). If things go

AltTabbins

Like the long leash we gave Tuiaki? That has set us back years by waiting.

BigHouse Coug

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

byusage

3:08pm

By having less talent overall.

BigHouse Coug

3:14pm

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

byusage

3:21pm

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

BigHouse Coug

3:23pm

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

byusage

I want to be optimistic, I'll look forward to seeing what happens.

BigHouse Coug

Hire me please, my mom will vouch for me…

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

2:43pm

50/50 blame on that one. Why would a parent agree to go? Or are they the ones pushing that they need to come

Mike Honcho

2:44pm

I think I'd blame the parent more. Like 80/20

JuicyJam

The 21% who refused to turn on the camera have blue hair and/or facial piercings.

OldFogey

3:05pm

Just amazing

Indy Coug

3:09pm

Probably because somewhere between 15-20% of new hires are nepo hires.

OPINIONS

Even Step Brothers performed better in their interview

maxpowers

3:15pm

This is a pointless complaint but I'm going to put it out there anyways.

JuicyJam

2:34pm

you answered your question there

fulano

2:36pm

Can you redeem multiple rewards in one visit? If not, it may still make more

Mikey

2:39pm

Good call. I'd bet that is the hang up. I've never actually redeemed anything.

JuicyJam

2:42pm

On the website it says "Rewards are redeemable for only one of the specified

Mikey

2:43pm

They know most people aren't going to do the math like you did.

byuluvr

2:39pm

I have a lot of CFA points and never use them. I guess I’m saving up for something that will never come. Sad!

TCuz

2:43pm

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

JuicyJam

2:46pm

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

Bob Vance

2:44pm

Most complaining is pointless. Probably conditioning customers to order meals.

Story of how IHC laid off 80+ docs in Idaho

cougfanz

Saltzer health. I've taken my kids there.

Cougarclaw

IHC is showing 1 billion in net profit for first quarter.

PokeMAN

2:36pm

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

EQD2

2:37pm

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

BYU '80

2:40pm

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

BaseCoug

2:51pm

"Hey IHC, even though you've thrown a huge speed bump into the lives of hundreds of employees

SJS

3:13pm

Those metrics used are influenced by the healthier population that they serve

cougfanz

They will go after patients who don't pay.

airbug

3:04pm

Prettiest pig of the litter.

Mises

2:57pm

Agree. There are some rumblings that the govt will re-institute (or allow)

cougfanz

3:01pm

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

ochobeeguy

2:59pm

Over inflate charity care numbers. Simple

airbug

3:03pm

Those numbers are overinflated. Ever notice how much they

airbug

3:02pm

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

For those that have been to Crete, must places to eat? Activities you recommend?

dahurt45

Where to eat in Crete? Maybe try the street meat.

Mister P

2:21pm

Love a good street meat.

dahurt45

2:24pm

Have you tried Crete beets on the street next to the meat?

No beets, only khlav kalash.

Passwords on computer

gwill

First, don't give them the password to your computer. Create a dummy account

VACOUGFAN

Also, don't forget to remove the sticky note with your password on it.

EEcougar

Not a problem if you dont give them they keyboard its stuck under.

VACOUGFAN

They would have to reinstall Chrome and sign back in.

It does suck for sure. I've been on both sides of that conversation.
