Imagine thinking you should be paid $20/hr to do nothing. Let them picket. I’m sure you can find a few chimps to do their job.

Imagine thinking you're way better than anyone works a minimum wage job and they're beneath you, almost to the point that you think of their intellect as non-human.

Great discussion between the three humans who spend the most company time on a message board.

Even that requires more skill than signing folks up for season tickets.

Is that supposed to bother me?  Like, are you that weak and simple that you think this is somehow a “gotcha comment”?  lol..pathetic.

And btw, when doing that simple job, I didn’t cry that I should be paid the equivalent to over 40k a year because that’s absurd and stupid, just as any minimum wage going up to $15/hr or more talk is.

It's just interesting to me that someone who literally held a very similar job would be so lacking in anything approaching empathy.

I guess if folks were campaigning for a raise when you were doing "chimp work" you would have sided with the team?

We had a thread on here during the season where people were complaining about customer service, long lines, workers not working, etc…and those same people believe they should be paid even more than the absurd hourly wage it seems like they are making now?  Lol

Yea no. That’s absurd. 
 

They don’t even check you out anymore for the most part. They literally do nothing.

Well I didn’t hold a similar job…I did much more than these guys do and worked more hours.

That said, a minimum wage job is just that..a minimum wage job. You don’t deserve to make that type of money doing that job especially when you really aren’t doing anything.

So no, I don’t have empathy for people who believe they should be paid a lot to do nothing and then bitch and moan when they don’t. 
 

If they are making $15/hr as it is, that’s more than enough for what they do.

What was it like selling a product that practically everyone who picked up the phone already knew almost all about it?

Obviously I don't live in the city but a 10 second google search shows the monthly rent on a one bedroom apartment in Baltimore is $1,395/month.

There goes 16.7K of that paycheck.

So? If you are at the point in your life where you are paying rent, you better have a better job or you should have multiple jobs.

Paying them outrageous wages causes everything to go up and it’s already expensive enough to get something to eat or drink. And then you complain about those prices and the poor service and you wonder why that it is. It comes from a group of people that feel entitled to get paid a lot to do nothing.

I don’t feel like having to spend even more money because people made poor life choices and now expect to get paid for them. 

Those minimum wage jobs are for kids in high school or in college. They aren’t meant to live off of in the way you are talking about.

Are you actually that ignorant of basic economic theory?

And you're a business owner?

Yikes.

This is now boring me, I'm out before we start violating board rules.

Is this another one of your awful attempts at being witty?  I’m guessing you have a point here but this is a pretty stupid question.

      An early look at the 2025 Bullpen

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I wouldn’t call that a “real strength”. Trade Perez and get a better arm to replace him.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      But that RH bat played a position that we had locked down because of the presence of Urias and Westburg. He wasn’t going to come up and play. If you wanted him to be the RH DH, that’s fine but the Os also lost Mounty and Mayo didn’t come up and play well. They decided that having those 4 players was enough depth to use Norby to get pitching. I don’t see that as being wrong at all…no one to predict what would happen after. They had that “position” locked down. Jimenez was just a lottery ticket and really he played a lot more than they probably thought because of all the injuries that occurred.

      An early look at the 2025 Bullpen

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      The 2025 bullpen looks like a real strength. R - Bautista, Cano, Dominguez, Webb L - Coloumbe, Soto, Perez, Akin I like having the 4 lefties with the WALL and that should be enough for the regular season.  It allows us to really matchup and take advantage of our ballpark. That’s a pen with 4 former All Stars. I believe Akin will still have an option since he made it through the season without burning his last one.  He’d be the guy to go down to AAA for a longman/fresh arm when needed. Maybe we get our lightning in a bottle reliever throwing near 100 in McDermott or Morfe later in the year. I don’t think we see much turnover here.  However, I could see Elias electing not to bring back Soto for flexibility reasons, more so than salary reasons.  Could we actually “sell” Soto for something of value?

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By eddie83 · Posted

      https://www.masnsports.com/blog/reviewing-orioles-recent-coaching-history-and-thoughts-on-what-s-next From Roch.    An immediate reaction to the current openings is that Triple-A Norfolk manager Buck Britton could be a candidate to fill one of them. They also could seek a bilingual coach now that González and Hernández are gone. Britton’s contract expires at the end of the month and he’s close with the young hitters who passed through Norfolk. He’s also gained the respect of other teams in the majors and could move on, which would leave the Orioles with another task.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      If we don’t resign Burnes then what are we doing as a franchise?  It’s hard to see any difference between Rubenstei and what we had before. A case can be made for not bringing back Santander.  Heck, even Soto, but with our SP injuries, and the way we’ve spent our draft capital, the plan looked to be to always land that big time SP from outside the org.  Well that happened.  Gotta keep him now.

      He called it a solid trade at the time it was made and he’ll die before he admits he was wrong about something.

      There was a need for a RH bat. We used a major league ready RH bat (who was also serviceable in the field) in the trade for Rogers. We added a bad RH bat, who was not able to play defense at all.  Neither Eloy or Rogers were able to keep their spot on the roster, and we had two guys go down that would have opened spots for Norby. So yes, it does have something to do with the Rogers trade.
