The 8 weeks consideration pay option is over but the paperwork leads me to believe that the severance is still available after that time is over. Does anyone know (100%...not speculation) if that is the case?
They're soliciting for T-shirt designs for TM Appreciation Week 2016... What a joke. Anyone have a design idea to show how appreciated we feel?
I was thinking a chopping block or maybe a Damocles sword. Maybe a dog and pony show, with clowns riding them. Or maybe Mackey and Robb grinning while holding huge bags of money. I can't believe these turds are actually going to have appreciation... — read more
