It's not society's fault you're not talented enough to be paid six figures. You'll just have to stop the envy sulking and self pity and get up earlier and train harder  |
Any chance you could pinch the Delorian from Back to the Future, and go back and give that speach to 15-16 year old me????
That would be great. Thanks.

It is a really soft society we are creating for the future if this sort of thing is acceptable and the norm........ |
You're a fu@#in' hero mate. |
Hey mate, what would your employer say if you approached him/her after just getting back from annual leave - after only being in the job for 12 months mind you - with the proposal of needing to take 4 weeks personal leave - in fact, would you be comfortable in asking for this with a straight face??

Just think of the negative impact it would have on co-workers.
Inb4 you don't know what Krakouers issues are.... |

Only if the co-workers were small-minded, imbeciles, like a few posters in this thread.

Don't get me started on how soft this society really is. 
I'd love to see a good dose of the Spartan ethos introduced quick smart. I blame the welfare/nanny state - seriously! |
The Schutzstaffel say hello.

Unbelievable that this would even be an issue......
Dear me, we happily cover for other team members at work all the time in times of another person's personal stress, distress, illness or trauma that requires some deserved time off work. Show a bit of compassion anyone? Or is it now politically incorrect to show this?... |

Do you know for sure this is the case and not simply related to Krakouer struggling to find motivation due to Leon leaving and not getting a pay rise??? |

Do we know for sure that it's not?

thats all got me thinking:
ive got a great job!
3 weeks after i started (6 years ago) my mum rang me and said ive had a little accident, can you come and get me. when i arrived there were cop cars blocking off both sides of the road, her car was sticking out from under the side of a truck, jammed between the front wheel and petrol tank. having been dragged down the road about 100metres, every window was broken, the little hyundai was totalled, and i could see my mum still in the front seat with ambos helping her.
turns out she only had a seat belt burn, but refused to get out of the car and into the ambulance, because when she collapsed at my daughters swim carnaval the year before with a brain tumour, they left her in the ambulance at the hospital for ages!!
but i was a wreak. it was the day of one of our clients biggest releases, everything had to be done NOW. i rang my boss , she said dont worry about it, go home take as long as you need. it was only the one day but....
then 2 years later my hubby got cancer. work said take whatever time you need, your job will be here when you get back.
got the flu, rang the boss about something else, she said you sound terrible, i said ill live, she said no you go home, the work will be there tomorrow.
minor stuff but still.....
with Krak, whatever it is, doesnt matter, if the clubs thinks its warranted, who are we to judge....
they obviously think it is necessary and want to keep him

Not worth the effort Rudeboy.
But you can join me in the fight to allow more wilful ignorance, more representation & misrepresentation from the shallow end of the gene pool to voice their ill informed & bigoted comments. If Swoop, The Beast & King Monkey choose to post before thinking that is their right to do so.

At the end of the day Geoff Walsh would have passed this issue over Eddie's desk for board approval.
I know how I feel about this and it is in line with roar, rr, WPT, think pos, Lazza and a few others.
If some here fear that we risk impending cultural disintergration at the club then you need to raise your concerns as a matter of prioity as this is a very serious issue and puts our entire season in jeopardy before it has even started.
Or will you just continue to tap away making meaningless baseless generalisations on the internet?
