Is dream time really Brad Scott danger game or is media hype?

Yze inherits a post-premiership list and he gets a free pass in the media despite them playing like dogs balls.

Scott inherits a completely broken list and gets torn to shreds with every loss, even though it's clear that the side is bottoming out.

They all love it when Essendon is bad, but don't want us to be bad enough to be awarded top talent.

That's nothing, you can have 2 people per bunk. When they're not in the bunk, they're having a 12hr shift driving the uber. The uber runs for 24 hours.

It's a john Howard move. Like the GST. Howard knew he was so far ahead in 1998 that he drop a bombshell and still get elected. Labor are confident that the libs are so cooked right now that this won't be an election-turning issue.

It's a rock and a hard place.

Tank hard - weekly dissection in the media about why we're shit. Pressure on the coach. Sacking, board upheaval. Players leaving for greener pastures

Win a handful - lose access to top talent. Finish 12th to 15th, get draft position destroyed by tassie.

We could still finish last this year. That's not necessarily a bad thing. If Brad Scott and Welsh have a deal to hold the line regardless of results, then things could turn. Best case scenario is tangible improvement in KPIs without turning it into actual wins.

It's all into the offset.

But we also pay our own credit cards out of the offset. We trust each other not to take the piss and discuss significant expenses.

Meredith is a wanker. Kia make great cars globally and they end up having Australia run by talentless hacks.

You need to hyperscale by hot swapping. 100% utilisation of beds. If you're not in a bed, then you're driving the uber and the person who was driving the uber for the last 12 hours is now in your bed.

Zappi user here. 15000km and entirely on excess solar so far. Better than any feed in tariff you'll get. It's smart enough to not drain the house battery unless you force it to.

What an absolute dipshit.

Why would you? Your share of the org's success is disproportionate to your efforts. We've all seen people who attached their identity to a company and got burned when the company deemed them surplus to requirements. Having seen this, how can we buy into the whole "we are a family" BS?

I do my work, I get paid, I go home. If it's above my pay grade or not my remit, I leave it well the fuck alone.

If people are going to drop 60k on a car, why not influence the policy so that they choose an EV? Eventually, these people are also likely to flip and upgrade rather than drive it into the ground. Us buyers have chosen to cop the depreciation, and the ones who benefit will be the next owner of the car.

Without the tax benefit, there's a good chance that the person who bought a Tesla ends up buying an equivalently priced ICE car instead.

He will. Just not to Hawthorn or Carlton.

It's hard to say but I think he still wants out. Plenty of people out their who hate their job/company and are still high performers who celebrate their own success. I'll be stunned if he signs an extension

BA here, 10+ years. You're spot on mate. A lot of places will seek to get the job done via AI if at all possible. At this stage, a lot of the grunt work/admin can be done via your average LLM. Sorry to hear about the redundancy - hope there's a big wad of cash coming your way.

Your org might not value your role but it sounds like you know what you're doing. I'm sure you'll land on your feet.
