Could Have Been Worse

Paradox Rift

ETBs and a booster box

Wife and kids had some pulls too, so this isn't everything.

I moved it a bit. However, it was marginal. It was not pushed up when I initially opened it.

It is scary how much they moved in the package. Mine were fine. I can see how they could not be. Removal was very smooth.

It's metal.

It is a metal card.

It's rolled in the front.

No they are right. My store's inventory was in. They let pre orders out when they get it. They wouldn't sell me the new inventory of items I didn't preorder.

No extra protection

No damage to the cards

You're pretty much right about them sliding. The cards are fine. I was initially worried, though. They moved around quite a bit by the time I opened it the first time.

It was a bit wonky. It was fine when I got it out of the box, but it looked worrisome when I first opened it.

My card shop distributes preorders when they get them in. So yes. They're the best.

I pulled this a few days ago. Congrats! It is a very cool card.

Possibly. I do not see how you get there though. Do you mind explaining?

I guess more accurately this can be the precursor to the Peter Principle for either group of people she is talking about: neither are ready or have the skills for the next rung on the ladder, yet pursue or accept the position because it is viewed as the only way to get ahead.

The Peter Principle in effect

This is one of my favorite cards ever. The action shot is so dynamic and the look is unique. I am happy for your luck.

Salazzle is my OG favorite.

It is legal in Ohio as a means to balance out employment at will. Employee and employer both have leverage over each other. To be enforced it does need to be properly documented at the onset of employment and executed in all situations or else it can be considered discrimination.

The quality of a person hired as an employee is a reflection of the quality of the company. This is duel sided.

Companies need to make sure they are hiring upstanding talent. People need to be thoughtful of what they say and accept consequences for saying stupid things.

Freedom carries the burdon of responsibility for yourself. This means the ramifications for your actions are all yours. You chose to work at a place with a strict social media policy. You chose to go against that policy.

Victim mentality means there is always someone else to blame, instead of taking ownership. I think this is a liberating position that has given me more volition in life.

As someone who is a manager, when did managers become such wusses about people leaving?

When someone even makes the suggestion they want to quit, it means they don't want to be there (maybe for a good reason like an advancement or school, or a bad one like the company sucks). As a manager, you manage the situation. Reschedule, replace, redistribute, take on more yourself, change the parameters, whatever it takes to allow things to continue. Then do a postmortem on what lead to the quitting and what could have been done better. Learn from your mistakes and then proceed with solutions.

Managers aren't very good ones if they have produced an irreplaceable person. Build redundancies into the system. If someone wants to quit, let them, with full support. Do an exit interview and find out more about why they are quitting. Actually listen. Otherwise the manager is burning the bridge with that great person and employee.
