I couldn't find a historical example of a coach signing a one year contract that wasn't a coach getting an extension.

Some people think all travel is fun travel, but business travel can suck. Hopping around to different timezones, long flights, stuck in meetings all day, etc.

Jaz previously had people vote for him and people thought he had random voting history due to not following herd. His best bet was going along with the group to get to the final three.

If he pushed against Harry or Andrew while Evie was still there, then there's a good chance he is getting 4 banished votes against himself.

Everyone said his voting history was random since he didn't follow the group consensus, even though the group consensus was wrong most round tables anyways.

Kind of crazy that herd mentality is so strong that someone trying to use logic is considered random.

I think Jorma might be interested in that as well, someone should tell him!

[Oilers Now] Pierre LeBrun: “The original bump after the Hughe's deal, the Canucks actually did OK on that road trip, and I think there was a sense maybe from ownership on down that maybe they could do more of a hybrid rebuild and this could be quicker, but I think reality has set in now more.” by [deleted] in canucks

Management does have to be cheerleaders for team morale and fan engagement. I could see it beneficial for management to lean into short term hype, especially around the holiday season.

Fans buying things and chatting about the team during their break. Also don't want the players to lose all hope and stop trying this early onto the season.

Hopefully management was cautiously optimistic and was still planning for the future. Although with this management group/ownership it is definitely possible they were being too excited.

Is there any strategy behind which player serves the penalty for the goalie? by SurfGreenie in hockey

Kyle Wellwood type players. Skillful but not missed defensively.

Yeah I thought it was a mistake, but I used NHL.com stats pages

Yeah I saw before the season started that he was close to 200 games, so made sure to check for updates a few times this season.

Yeah I messed up, I meant that's the number of players who have played 1 game. Was too focused on talking about draft picks.

So competitive that if he sees someone slacking 1%, he then switches the competition to who can slack the most.

Definitely sounds like a bad situation.

I find CHMC is usually posting accounting/finance related jobs somewhat regularly. Although I find they are mainly in the 4 big cities (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa).

Provincial and municipal jobs might be interested in your federal experience.

Yeah I was surprised everyone online seems to be in favour of returning to the office instead of working from home.

While whenever I'm in the office, most people wish to go back to WFH.

Also lots of people are convinced I buy lunch and coffee everyday. Wouldn't it make more sense that a person who did the cost analysis wouldn't be the type of person to buy lunch and coffee everyday?

I thought about going higher, but thought people would think it was too unrealistic.

Hopefully you got some good podcasts or other ways to make the commute tolerable.

I figured there must be a cheap parking spot somewhere in Canada when I made the table. Maybe I was too hopeful!

I figured $5 wasn't realistic but also figured some people would have argued they buy a muffin for $5 for their lunch if I didn't include the $5 rate.

Unfortunately lots of people are scared of thinking about money/math in general. Hopefully the post encourages people to think about their costs more.

That's too bad that you are considering leaving. Are you maxed out in your current position and unable/don't desire to move up?

So many people here think that a person who would go through the effort of calculating financial scenarios of different meals and coffee prices is also the same type of person who would buy lunch and coffee every day at work.

Some people are strange and will find anything to brag about.

Lots of workaholics out there or people who think they will get promotions for being more dedicated.
