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...

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
