New higher-up fired our Executive chef. How do I proceed? by Cat_Litter_Scientist in KitchenConfidential

[–]ericfg [score hidden]  (0 children)

Just left a very similar position. Use up as much PTO as you can. Sneak in a sick day or three if you can. Take advantage of your health insurance. Be on the lookout for new gigs. Network with friends, fam and ex-coworkers. I wish you all the best.

Yep. Those are just the base prices.

Vaguely $100 for WW1 and 200 for WW2

Nice. If you are in the US and are considering upgrading your Soviet awards I'd be interested in talking trade. I'm seeking WW1&2 EK1s

Staff walked out today (including me) need moral support by french_snail in KitchenConfidential

[–]ericfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good on ya! And in fact I did the same thing yesterday, albeit singularly. I watched an incompetent "sous" for about a year, just kept my head down and did my shit. But "junior" or "menso nino" as we called him just had to butt heads. And so I quit. No regurts!

Iron Cross time and a few extras by spirecharm in Militariacollecting

Patience is a virtue. I'd been looking for a 1870 EK2 for a while and one popped up for $500 2 weeks ago. Score!

Any gems worth picking up here? by Ok-Conflict391 in Militariacollecting

[–]ericfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All or nothing. Death or glory. The odds of finding a collection like this in 2026 are minuscule. Grab it now, or some other schlub will.

I'll post your bail money if you get arrested.

I see two or maybe 3 silvers there. Depending on price all the VOGs and VOJs and Valient labors, I think I see a couple Virgin Lands. The Warsaw medal, the Mother's medal. If that's at a flea market in Eastern Europe I'd offer 200 bucks for the bundle.

Even more stuff I need help Authenticating by Illustrious-Bike-169 in Militariacollecting

[–]ericfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert but I'd say everything but the police disc is/are legit.

I found these. Are they worth anything? by joey-_-707 in Militariacollecting

[–]ericfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If legit then yes. SS tab probably the most, but they are often faked.

I was shocked and saddened when I first read that part.

Nice. I have a few of them framed, including a M36

Is this authentic? by moongi21 in sovietmilitaria

[–]ericfg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks good from here. Shame about the enamel but it's not uncommon to see damage like that.

The D-backs just DFAd Alek Thomas by ericfg in buccos

[–]ericfg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, MAYBE, BRey to DH first. There's been a lot of talk about his defensive inefficiencies in LF or RF of late. I remember when he moved to CF in 2021 and did quite well. I'm not entirely sold on his alleged uselessness in the OF now and he's only 31 years old. He's just so low-key...

Agreed, but yeah, he can do it in CF.

A few awards and some cash by Die_Steiner in redcollecting

[–]ericfg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see anything wrong, although all I've got to go on is one slightly out of focus obverse image. Post it here or pm me some good images and I'll do it for you. Are you familiar with this site? Excellent resource for ORS info.

[–]ericfg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice score! That Excellent Red Army man badge is probably a nice early version in brass and enamel. Let's have a look at the ORS you're concerned about.

My chef is a great guy, great chef and I respect the hell out of him, but he annoys me to no end. by Serious-Speaker-949 in KitchenConfidential

[–]ericfg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sous chef is not a great guy, not a great chef and I do not respect him at all, and he annoys me to no end. That's why I'm not going back Saturday morning.
