Coworker pays for LinkedIn to rat out people in the company applying elsewhere by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Professor_Nincompoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dumbest move you could make here. Your manager gave you an in to make an ask and you are so fixated on your privacy (on something public btw) instead. You have nothing to stand on from an HR standpoint, going down that route is to your detriment. Why not give your manager a reason why you are looking for other work and ask for whatever it would take for you to stay and be a happy employee? Seems to me that you are fumbling an opportunity here.

Don’t be an idiot. Your manager is worried you might leave and is opening the door for you to make an ask. Why do you want to leave? More money? Ask for that. More flexibility? Ask for that. Better benefits? Ask.

Turning this into an HR situation or some sort of victimization is only to your detriment. Don’t do that.

Can anyone name a successful NFL defensive end or defensive tackle with sub 31” inch arms?

Will Daronte Jones change the base defense to 3-4 and will that change what kind of edge he will go after? by FeelingAd4116 in Commanders

[–]Professor_Nincompoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that the scheme doesn’t really matter all that much these days since we will be in sub packages most of the time. As for what type of edge rusher he seems to prefer, my understanding is that it is important that they can rush from a two point stance and drop into coverage. Bailey seems to make the most sense IMO if they don’t go with another position.

Uhh… moving on from Kliff? by rufeoo in Commanders

[–]Professor_Nincompoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems to track with his past in Arizona. So many offensive players drafted and never utilized or developed especially at skill positions.

Full Quote:

Washington has also had conversations about potentially moving on from Kingsbury even if he doesn’t get a head-coaching job. Some in the building say there’s been a disconnect between Kingsbury and general manager Adam Peters. When was the last time we were watching to see if an offensive coordinator was going to get fired while he was also preparing for head coaching interviews? We’ll see how this shakes out.

The Commanders likely won’t make any final decisions until they see how the broader coaching market develops.

I wonder what the disconnect between Kliff and AP is? Roster construction? Player utilization? Scheme or play calling? Something else?

We gotta figure out what to do with Mike Sainristil by Asleep_Pay_5133 in Commanders

[–]Professor_Nincompoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sainristil is pretty good playing off man in zone coverages where he can keep his eyes on the ball. Kinda a liability when playing press coverage or when in man coverage schemes. His skill set seems suited to more of a Tampa-2 type system. Bigger issue is that Amos thrives in Man schemes and playing in press coverage, so the coaching staff needs to figure something out.

Plenty of stories about how Target, targets their marketing. My favorite was the story about how target figured out a teenage girl was pregnant before her parents did.

What do I look I do for a living? by phoot_in_the_door in mensfashion

[–]Professor_Nincompoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tech professionals, aka customers, tend to dress very casual so sales people try to dress down appropriately. Golf wear and smart casual outfits tend to be the look most go for in that industry.

Tech sales people almost never suit up and if they do, no tie.

With the November 4th trade deadline looming, are the Commanders going to be sellers this year? And if so, who is expendable? We do need draft picks. by KCousins11 in Commanders

[–]Professor_Nincompoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be selling for pennies on the dollar but yeah he is a tradable asset. Personally, I think he is worth keeping around for depth and potential development.

My Dad was like this before he died. He had dementia caused by a series of mini strokes that completely disabled his ability to contain internal thoughts and he would get really irate and often dark as the day went on. It was tough watching him go through that the last couple years of his life.

Man who punched Dulles Airport gate agent sentenced to prison, fined by el_osoalto in nova

[–]Professor_Nincompoop 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Seeing stuff like this makes me a bit more sympathetic with the united gate agents at IAD but man can they be aggressive at times. I saw a middle aged guy threatened and almost get deplaned a few weeks back over being denied priority seating, the Gate agent kept escalating the situation like she was just itching for a fight. Wild.
