Show up at 4:30 in the afternoon on a Monday, on a holiday week, with no appointment, not know the name of the company you're at and ask for specific information about projects and ask for a tour.

 

 

Yeah... that didn't go so well for the young fellow.

 

I thought it showed initiative :(

 

Also you dress funny.

It struck you wrong because it is wrong. That's not initiative, it is ignorant, and presumptuous.

I had a feeling you'd feel that way. :)

I wasn't rude to him but I made it clear that he would be getting no tour or much info.

If you're genuinely interested in what we do, call or email me and I'd gladly make time (at my convenience) to give you some info even if we're not hiring (we're not).

I'm just not much on being interrupted. Whether you're selling something or what... Call me and if I'm interested I'll let you know. Better yet, email me... A local IT company sent me an email solicitation recently, and not only did they get a meeting with me, they've done over $3000 worth of business with us since.

We're a small company yes... And our door is open, but my time is valuable... Would you expect to walk in a large company and immediately talk to the CEO in person? No, you'd make an appointment or talk to HR first...

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
