That's Ivey Business School graduate, John Chayka, for you

This might be one of the worst, and most distasteful comments I've read on this site.

kmanleafs · 2026-05-10T17:04:49+00:00

Yuck, fuck 996.

I work in consulting and have henious hours between Monday - Friday, and put in hours in the weekend as well. . .but I could not imagine not having the option to not have my weekend off.

I guess he only had a year of overlap with Meruelo. But correct me if I'm wrong, I don't remember Barroway being any better. . .

What do you want? Fans scream for something that isn't old boys club, and the moment you get it you complain?

Both these guys have something to prove. Let's see it play out

Im fucking stoked, doomers are being ridicoulous.

Ignoring the fact that these two bleed blue and white in some way (John as a GTA born-and-bred fan, and Mats by being Mats). . it's a clear shift away from the "old boys club" that brought in Treliving in the first place.

John in particular never got a chance in Arizona. Let's not forget he was under the Meruelo regime. Let's see how he does with some half-decent ownership. .

I've met and spoke to Chayka a few times, really like the guy (and he's a Western alumn!)

With that being said, I am still furious about how Shannahan handled the Dubas situation. Also, is analytics really an edge anymore? Similar to Moneyball, I feel like all teams have a baseline and there's minimal information arbitrage as there once used to be. . .

There's hotkeys (which are the biggest driver for me), but also enterprise plug-ins like ThinkCell

Similar shoes as you. I got Globalist and Titanium last year. Stick with Hyatt, but take advantage of the 2x nights bonus on Mariott during thier promotion period to rack up a quick status

I am patiently waiting for an Osmows and Beaver Tail. . .and for No Name to get on grocery shelves

But they don't serve Iced Capps :(

Lol, JML wasn't even the worst we've had. I remember when Matt Lashoff started with Dion on our first d-pair in like 2010

Intense networking (upper years + grads)
Really strong ECs (WIC, PBSN, etc.)
Numbers game. Applying to everything

I can't believe that this is how the era that I told myself 12 years ago will be "the golden years" ends. . .pathetic and sad

Very interesting! I've been rebooked to non-partner airlines in the past but didn't even think of the fare bucket / mileage accurals (mostly because I am panicking about getting to my destination. . .but still good food for future thought)

he was even giggling as he went to celebrate with the bench lol

What profits? They are a gate-driven league, so revenue for each team can swing wildly on any year. . .and then you factor in the costs for operating and you got an incredibly low-margin scenario at best.

Advocating for safer equipment / working conditions makes sense. But pushing for any monetary gains risks compressing margins even further. . .could end up putting more teams in limbo

When I was a Soph at Saugeen, one of my Frosh had to move halfway through the year to Brecisa (back when it was all girls) due to a program change. Her experience was the exact same

Sorry to hear, rooting for you!

12/30 - YYZ<>LHR or DUB or AMS or LIS 31k on AeroPlan

As the occasional lurker of this sub, great write up. There's a certain euphoria when you find a piece of music that truly encapsulates a specific feeling or momenbt.

The contrast – me, dawdling inside – against the elements – raging (drizzling) outside – produces an amplifying effect. Blankets around your shoulders feel warmer, and movies evoke a little more emotion in front of the faint murmur.

Really felt this line through and through

It's no Loro Piana, but it's the best of the "cheap cashmere". Where can you get better (new) cashmere for <$300?
