Louis C.K. Hosts SNL: Watch 'Black Jeopardy' and Other Highlights Here
Originally posted 03/30/2014 11:35AM
Louis C.K.'s Saturday Night Live hosting stint played to his strengths while also allowing the comic to branch out.
C.K. was most at home during the opening monologue, which he treated as a block of stand-up time: He discussed the difference between "first-world hunger" and "third-world hunger," ("If you've eaten today, you're not hungry. I'm hungry for a donut but I'm not hungry,") women's suffrage, ("Women got the right to vote in this country in 1920. That means American democracy is 94 years old. There are three guys in my building who are older than American democracy,") and – as usual – parenting. ("There is no more joyful experience in a parent's life than when a child's play is over.")
Seth MacFarlane Won't Return to Oscars Stage
Originally posted 05/20/2013 03:55PM
After hosting the 85th Annual Academy Awards, Seth MacFarlane drew his fair share of fans and critics.
But the Family Guy creator won't return to the stage to host next year's show, he revealed in a series of Tweets on Monday.
"Traumatized critics exhale: I'm unable to do the Oscars again. Tried to make it work schedule-wise, but I need sleep," he wrote.
Timothy Olyphant & Charlie Sheen Attend a Bowling Party in N.Y.C.
Originally posted 04/02/2012 05:55AM
Timothy Olyphant seems to prefer pigskins to bowling balls. The Justified star was overheard talking about football at the FX Upfront party at Lucky Strike in N.Y.C. Thursday – when he was supposed to be joining his castmates at their lane. The event featured talent from seven series on the network (most of whom wore matching bowling shirts with their show names for a star-studded tournament).
One FX star who didn't don the uniform? Charlie Sheen, who talked about his show Anger Management with reporters and mingled amiably in a corner. Elsewhere, Archer's Judy Greer chatted with pals by her show's lane, and Louis CK made the social rounds as well.
Guests sipped cocktails from two open bars and nibbled on passed hors d'oeuvres like mac and cheese bites early, followed by warm chocolate chip cookies after 10 p.m. – right around the time that Russell Brand popped in to promote his new late night show, Strangely Uplifting. (No sign of the Brit in bowling shoes, however!) – Rennie Dyball
Louis C.K. Saved His Dog's Life – But His Dog Didn't Care
Originally posted 08/19/2011 02:00PM
Louis C.K. often deals with the challenges of parenting in his stand-up act, but there's something the comedian finds more difficult than being a father: dog-rearing.
"It's harder having a dog [than having a child]," he told Conan O'Brien on Thursday. "Children develop, and dogs just stay dumb. They never figure it out."

Tough situation. The insurance companies are going to point the finger at each other if they haven't already done so. Your wife will need to "apportion" the damages for each accident. Basically, the insurance company doesn't want to pay for the damage caused by the other accident, but determining the extent of the damages can be very tricky. Your wife needs to be seen by an experienced doctor that can first diagnose her condition and apportion her injuries. I would make sure you schedule...

Tough situation, especially at such a young age. You are doing the right thing by asking questions. What you need now is information, then you should decide what path to take. The first thing I do with my clients is make sure they get the proper care so they get better. I am representing a girl in the exact same situation as your daughter. She was a passenger and the driver of the car she was in ran a red light and they were hit by a semi. The only difference is that my client was a few...
8 lawyers agreed with this answer
Clients usually want to know two things: how long is this going to take and how much is my claim worth. Sounds like you have a very serious injury. Because your injury is so serious, you need to know how much insurance is available from both the person who crashed into you and your own underinsured/uninsured motorist policy. That is the starting point. I recommend that you find out how much insurance is available as soon as possible. If you don't you could have more medical bills than...

People in situations similar to yours usually want to know two things, what is a fair settlement, and how long will this take? All the previous answers instruct you to hire an attorney so that you will maybe hire them. What is best for you? Should you hire an attorney or do it yourself? You don't want to have any regrets or feel like you were cheated. Most insurance companies are ruthless. Don't take it personal, it is just business to them. The less they pay you the more they keep for...
7 lawyers agreed with this answer
Insurance companies often live by the motto delay, deny, defend. I think it is a very good idea to include a date in the release when payment will be received. I usually give them 14 days after the release has been signed and received. That gives them more than enough time to draft the check and send it to you.

We have sued Walmart several times. They tend to be difficult and evasive prior to litigation. You need to contact an attorney immediately in order to protect your interests. Your case is a "premises liability" situation and you must be able to prove that Walmart knew that the dish soap had spilled, or Walmart should have known about the spill and protected/warned you about it. The most important information for your case is how long that soap was on the floor before you slipped on it....

I'm assuming that the at-fault driver's insurance company's claims adjuster doesn't want you to "double dip," but the law states that the at-fault driver is required to pay for the total amount of damage that he caused; however, there are two ways to get the money, by asking for it, or taking it---filing a lawsuit. Adjusters will give you want you demand if you can show them what you are owed. Figuring out exactly what you are owed for the at-fault driver's negligence can be very complicated....

You are responsible for the bills, but her auto insurance should pay. Check with your agent regarding your "medpay." Any attorney can check this pretty quickly, including myself. Good luck to you.

Often times people settle their case too early and regret it later. It is easy to get in this situation because your in a tight spot, you aren't getting a paycheck, but a Work Comp attorney can make sure you get your back pay and proper treatment

Plead not guilty and get a court date set. Show up at the Court on the trial date and ask to talk to the DA. Tell him why the citation should be reduced to a 2 point violation and explain why. DAs are more inclined to reduce and not go to trial if you have a legitimate reason.

1 item
This is a photostatic copy of a Civil War letter written by James L. Wheeler from the Ashland General Hospital to his brothers.
The letter was written August 18, 1864, with the salutation "Dear Brothers." It was specifically addressed to F. M. Wheeler. James Wheeler wrote the letter while recuperating from wounds received in battle.
James Wheeler was a soldier in an unnamed Kentucky regiment then fighting in Georgia. His letter described his departure for Georgia on May 25, marches by his unit, and skirmishes and other actions in which his unit met Confederate forces. Wheeler was wounded in the thigh and rescued from the battlefield by his comrades. He reported that his wound was not dressed until the next evening. He said he traveled in ambulances for eight miles in seven days and thought the jolting would kill him.
A note on the last page of the photostat stated the photostat was made in June 1928 for Grace Muncey Masters, first vice-president of the Kentucky Division of the United Children of the Confederacy (U. C. C.). The copy was made for the Quill Club of the Kentucky Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (U. D. C.). This note identified the Wheeler brothers as residents of Lawrence County. The location of the original letter is unknown.
Arrangement: Chronological.
Variant Name: F. Wheeler Letter
County: Boyd; Lawrence
Creator's Occupation: U. S. Army soldier.

Watch the 2014 Oscar "In Memoriam" Tribute
Every Oscar night has its fair share of dramatic and moving moments, but nothing ever comes close to the "In Memoriam" segment, which honors the actors, actresses, writers, directors, producers and technicians who passed away in the past year. Just when you think you've gotten over the death of a talent who truly mattered to you, this portion of the show rears its head and tears your heart open all over again.
Godzilla Is Actually a Really Cool Guy in New Snickers Ad
Did you know that when he's not rampaging through cities and laying waste to the countryside, the legendary beast known as Godzilla is actually a really cool guy who likes to party, hang out with his buddies and play a mean game of ping pong? That's the one joke in a new Snickers ad, but thankfully, it's a very funny one that makes the most of its absurd imagery.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'RoboCop' Gets Taken Down by 'The LEGO Movie' and 'About Last Night'
When 'RoboCop' got pushed from an August 2013 release date to February 2014, everyone assumed it would open stronger when far away from the busy summer months. If this is the better of the two options, then we can't even imagine how poorly it would have opened in the warmer months. The remake of the 1987 classic is definitely not a disaster, but it most certainly underperformed.

Could John Travolta Play a Future Bond Villain?
It's been a rough decade for John Travolta, and his self-destructive slide looks to continue now that he's signed on to voice the lead character in a Gummy Bears movie. For that reason, we have a hard time believing that he's spoken to the James Bond franchise producers about playing a villain in a future film, but according to a recent interview, he claims that such meetings have occurred and have been fruitful.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The LEGO Movie' Constructs a Big Opening
And here we are: five weeks into the new year and we already have our first major blockbuster of 2014. Early estimates had 'The LEGO Movie' opening big, but the animated adventure shattered all expectations this weekend, with universally positive reviews and word of mouth sending the film to a massive opening.
Philip Seymour Hoffman Will Be Digitally Recreated For His Final 'Hunger Games' Scene
Philip Seymour Hoffman's tragic death occurred while he was nearing the end of his work on the two-part 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' movies, and while he only had seven days of filming left, those days included at least one key scene. We initially thought that these final scenes would be rewritten to exclude the character of Plutarch Heavensbee, but according to the NY Post, the filmmakers are planning to recreate the late actor with special effects to keep his presence intact.

'SNL': All You Need For Valentine's Day is a Trip to CVS
The best of 'SNL''s commercial parodies are always those that make you cringe a little. Not because they're bad, but because you recognize just enough painful truth in them to dredge up a memory or two. With Valentine's Day around the corner, the most recent episode of everyone's favorite late night variety show tackled a subject that should be familiar to anyone who has ever been in a relationship: forgetting to get a gift for your loved one.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Ride Along' Leaves 'I, Frankenstein' Choking on Exhaust
Ah, a week at the box office where the new release flies completely under the radar and everything else feels like it's just hanging out because there's nothing else to push it off the charts. Welcome to January. Welcome to the home of movies like 'I Frankenstein,' which was dead on arrival this weekend and will vanish into dollar theaters within the next week or so.
'Gilligan's Island' Star Russell Johnson Dead at 89

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Anchorman 2′ Can't Quite Catch 'The Hobbit'
The return of Ron Burgundy and his news team has been positioned as a big, huge deal. 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' has been marketed more than any major release this month and everyone just assumed that the film would effortlessly snag massive box office numbers thanks purely to saturation (on top of the fact that the original is quite beloved). So it must sting a little for Paramount to see the film open in second place and it must sting even more once they compare the opening numbers to the opening of the first film from 2004.

Bernucca: Handing Out My Midseason Awards
One of the biggest knocks against the NBA is that when the season starts, there are only five or six teams that can truly win the championship, making the regular season and the early playoff rounds interminably tedious. Not this season. As we reach the midway point – 18 teams have played at least 41 games, another nine have played 40 – there are no less than a dozen teams with legitimate title aspirations, including a handful that haven't been in the
Levi: Who will win NBA's Sixth Man Award? Handicapping the field
Every year, one of the more entertaining conversations around the NBA surrounds the race for the Sixth Man Award. While it's never about the most shimmering and glamorous of superstars, the talk always turns to the most precious of commodities – a guy who can come off the bench and consistently inject life into his team. The award has gone to characters such as J.R Smith and Anthony Mason, stars such as James Harden and Kevin McHale, and champions such as Toni
Not surprisingly, Jamal Crawford wins Sixth Man award
One of the consequences of the Donald Sterling scandal was that it delayed the official announcement of the Sixth Man Award winner. As the racism controversy was at its peak, the NBA postponed plans to present the award to Jamal Crawford, but news of the delay was reported far and wide. Today, there is enough calm in El Lay to finally make things official. Congratulations, J.Crossover.
Sheridan's Postseason Awards Ballot: Durant is MVP, Thibodeau is Coach of the Year

I have been an official NBA postseason awards voter for nearly a decade, and it would have been longer if not for a rule at the Associated Press, where I worked from 1987-2005, forbidding
Chris Bernucca's Postseason Award Choices
Transparency is a two-way street. For years, NBA media members – echoing the sentiments of its passionate fan base – wanted more transparency from Commissioner David Stern and his executive staff. Whether it was a lottery drawing, a suspension in the playoffs or a referee scandal, folks felt like they were entitled to an explanation. And they were. Stern grudgingly came around. He arranged for the media to meet with referees prior to the season about rules changes. He allowed the media
Sixth Man Rankings: Now a Starter, Tyreke Evans Looks Like a Star
When the Pelicans gave Tyreke Evans a four-year, $44 million dollar offer sheet last summer, fans and analysts alike were skeptical of whether Evans had earned that deal. After several years of franchise turmoil in Sacramento, Evans' morale was at an all time low. The former Rookie of the Year had regressed from a prolific star in the making to a streaky enigma on one of the league's worst teams. Committing near-max money to Evans looked like a gross miscalculation by a New
Bernucca: Handing Out Our Midseason Awards
Martin Luther King Day is more than a day of celebration and reflection for the NBA, which probably has done more positive things for race relations than any other sport in the Civil Rights Era. It also has become the unofficial midway point of the season. By the completion of Monday's action, more than half of the league's 30 teams will have played half their games. With that in mind, we present our midseason awards with this reminder from the bookie of hopeless

Hit me with some schools!

Argh! Doing my head in! Need to get DD's applications in for her prospective shool to begin 2014. I should have just applied to Penrhos when she was born, but I didn't think that would be a viable option, But it is. Way too late now to enroll Plus I am keen for her to go co-ed. Applied to Peter Carnley in Wellard (will be very lucky to get in), will put in an application with All Saints next week.
Suggest more, WA ladies! We will not be able to get into (and not keen) on a catholic school (non-denominational) but do want an independent school if possible, k-12. Would also consider a really good public school but unfortunately out catchement area is out of most good school zones. There is no way I will send her to the school in our catchement area. We are in teh area for Success primary but it only goes to year 7 I think.
Suggestions? From probably Como-ish to Rockingham.
Bloody school!

Tranby college in Baldivis is apparently very good.
Posted 02 February 2013 - 03:48 PM
Carey Baptist, I've heard is good.
As an ex-St Mary's girl though, Penrhos? *sigh*
Posted 02 February 2013 - 04:11 PM
Hey, in the last Peter Carnley newsletter they said they still had kindy spots for 2013, so if you applied awhile ago she should be OK to get a spot 2014.
I was looking at the kings college in Bertram for awhile, looks very nice with great opportunies but very small. Only about 200 odd students from K-12.
I hear good things about John Wollaston, don't know if that's too far?
Posted 02 February 2013 - 04:29 PM
Oh I hope so, I'd love her to go to PC. I've got the app in so fingers crossed BUT when I put it in they told me that it was full ... So that's good to hear. I still need to do a tour. Might request a private one so they remember me
Kings is christian so not too keen on that (I think we'd need to jump through a few hoops to get in).
I LOVE the look of All Saints - bloody expensive but def putting an app in there. They also have a bus service that actually comes to our area!
John Wally is a bit too far.
I can't believe how frustrating it is and she's not even bloody three yet!
Posted 02 February 2013 - 07:05 PM
I'm in the same boat for DS who starts in 2014 as well. Got an application in very early for Frederick Irwin in Mandurah but highly doubt I'll get a spot. have also got an application in for St Bernadette's in Port Kennedy. there's already 60 odd on the waitlist for Mandurah Baptist College so I've been told.
I'm in a bit of a pickle too as I don't want to send DS to our local public school.
(FYI I'm not catholic and DS hasn't been baptised )

OP, can you explain why you don't want Catholic or Christian, but you're ok with Anglican?
Edited by SeaPrincess, 03 February 2013 - 06:19 PM.
Posted 04 February 2013 - 07:20 PM
To be accepted into a catholic or chrisitan ( both, I'm not sure?) school she'd need to be baptised. We aren't prepared to do that plus the religious component some schools will require of us just to be considered.

Do Anglican schools not require baptism/christening?
Edited by SeaPrincess, 04 February 2013 - 09:50 PM.
Posted 04 February 2013 - 10:48 PM
Depends on the school and how competitive they are. I know people who got into catholic schools (Kolbe, so in the area you are talking) without being baptised/christened but both kids were VERY academically and musically gifted, so just the type of kids the school wanted.
Tranby College has large waitlists at primary school level, don't even dream of Frederick Irwin. Perhaps Living Waters (siblings went there and it wasn't overly religious)?
Though I wouldn't fixate too much on it being a K-12 school. You never know what kind of school your year 5/6 child will be best suited to, I changed schools in Year 9 to a K-12 school and fit in just fine.

I have put applications in for 2 schools one Anglican & one catholic and you don't "need" to be baptised although preference is usually given to Siblings of students first, religious denomination then they make up numbers with any other application.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 06:47 PM
My son attends an Anglican school. Part of the reason we applied there was because christening/baptism was not required.

We've got our boys on the list for All Saints, as you do. My BIL went there, and was as happy as he was going to be in a school.
Myself I went to a Catholic primary school, and a Christian (Anglican) private girls' high school. The Catholic school was much more pushy in their religion and their beliefs, and spent more time on that aspect. The Anglican school taught about other religions, not just theirs, and were much less pushy about what you believed. That is the main reason I don't want to send my boys Catholic, but am happy to send Anglican/CoE.

Humorist's Ohio Home On National Register Of Historic Places
The suburban ranch-style home in Ohio where humor writer Erma Bombeck launched her nationally syndicated column has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The latest independent poll on the presidential race in Ohio shows pretty much what all the other polls have shown. By wide margins, Ohio Democrats favor Hillary Clinton as their nominee and Ohio Republicans favor Rudy Guiliani. And when the two are matched head-to-head, it's a virtual tie.
Some Ohio legislators are hoping that a new high-tech gizmo will help alert law-abiding Ohioans when a sex offender who's been freed from prison comes near them. And lawmakers are also looking at other uses for this new invention.
The two Cleveland-area developers who want to construct Ohio's only legal gambling casino in Wilmington have just encountered their first hurdle. They're being told – if they want to put their full plan onto the ballot, it may take more than one ballot issue.
The Pickaway County sheriff's office identified two men late Wednesday afternoon who died in an early morning crash near Rickenbacker Airport.
Snow is falling across Ohio this morning. The National Weather Service says reports an inch or more on the ground with another inch or two on the way.

What lies ahead in 2015?
The EU has designated this Year to Development
The photo of people passing by was taken while looking out from a shop on Athinas Street in Athens. It reminded me of a saying by Andre Malraux: "we are all but temporary guests in life, just passing by!"
Life passes by and often is hardly noticed. And yet in looking back at the year 2014 which just passed, it brought home over and again how precarious can be life! There was the first Malaysian plane which disappeared and has not been found till now. Then, Israeli started its incursion into Gaza on July 17. It left over 2000 people dead and thousands more homeless. Tragically on that very same day another Malaysian flight was shot down over Eastern Ukraine. And this is not all. 2014 was marked by one killing streak after another, and especially many innocent children whether in Pakistan or Nigeria lost their lives. All of this makes one wonder how life can be upheld when it is so simply wasted? Often the arbitrary killing serves no other purpose but to send just another chilling message.
Looking ahead to 2015, it can be said many people share one common factor, namely an 'unknown' future as to what lies ahead. The Greek crisis has not subdued. There is no real confidence as of yet evident that something has been learned out of the crisis. Instructive is the photo exhibition 'Depression Era' as this collective of 36 photographers seek to reflect this period 2011 to 2014 as if an era of depression.
Europe is likewise not at ease. There are many unknowns ahead. Many believe that the UK elections will confirm a current trend towards a political wish to depart from the European Union. Those who voted in this year's referendum for an independent Scottland will try again but this time by entering British Parliament as a coalition of forces. They are united in a wish to dismiss altogether established politics and the institutions the elite has learned to master, in order to govern exclusively from the rest of the people. Another answer to this is the search by alternative movements for a new definition of the 'commons'.
When LSE director Calhoun gave a speech in Athens on 10th of December 2014, he used the term 'anti-politics' to designate contemporary political protest movements. He suggested this is correlated with the disenchantment of many during a period of crisis, but little did he seem to know that this term was already used by the writer Heinrich Böll when he discussed with Kopelew 'anti Communism in East and West'. They called that ideological trend in the Cold War the best school of thought to prepare people for 'anti-politics'.
In 2014, there have commenced many commerations of First World War which started 100 years ago. By having entered a parallel time of 2014 - 2018, one wonders what lessons have been learned since the WWI and WWII, and which did contribute to the creation of the European Union.
In 2015, it shall be Mons and Pilsen as the two European Capitals of Culture, after that come Wroclaw and San Sebastian 2016, while at the end of this four year period, it will be Valletta and Leeuwarden in 2018. During that time Kids' Guernica - Guernica Youth shall exhibit peace murals created by children and youth all over the world first in Wroclaw 2016 and then in Valletta 2018.
Linked to that is the work by war photographers such as Reinhard Schultz. These photographers seek to be a witness while events unfold. Needless to say, no day passes without a newscaster like the BBC bringing images of violent conflicts and of war. It seems as if all of us are made into permanent participants of war, whether we like it or not. There is hardly anyone who can express via this media how much one is repulsed by all of this. Instead this madness seems to spill over into daily life everywhere, whether now someone takes 30 people hostage in Sydney, Australia or someone uses a truck to drive into a crowd of people in Paris, France. Or street protest flares up when a white policeman kills an unarmed black man. But as fast as these breaking news hit the headlines, as fast they disappear and are replaced by other similar news of yet another suicide bomber having killed 100 people at a bus stop or a new incidence of girls being kid-napped to be sold as if a commodity.
There is a danger to make the abnormal appear to be the normal way of life. In that sense, this contemporary life cannot be compared to when people entered First World War in 1914 as if adventure. Rather the growing uneasiness begins nowadays at home.
How then to face all these and more challenges which lie ahead? It is a matter of heeding the lesson drawn by those youth and children who painted in Tripoli, Lebanon a mural and gave it the title "to remember you need to forget". There is a strong longing for peace, and that entails memory work to remember those who have lost their lives before they could realize their own dreams. In that sense, it is time to heed 'the dreams of humanity' in relation to what children image when they throw peebles into the lake of Ioannina where the exit of the old year is marked by a festival of light - see http://luminousfestival.gr/
As the poet Yiorgos Chouliaras, most recent winner of the Academy of Athens prize, would put it, Ioannina reminds everyone that the heart is not in the middle, but to the left of the human body - likewise the heart of Greece is where something authentic is retained and which did attract the film maker Angelopoulos.
The 'atonement with peace' is still what poetry does best and therefore provides light for the road ahead. To this poetess from Tunesia, Najet Adouni would add:
"it is interesting to know what other poets do.....I like the metaphor: as if poems become oil for the river of time. That is great. In the stream of time is always the water connected with the image of a famous mountain...Each poet has his way to explain things but we meet in creation and images, for a poem is a vast life. I feel different when I talk about poetry, I feel great and high...I can touch the sky....How beautiful is it to read something which makes you feel all these things."
Most appropriate for what lies ahead is what recently elected Pen President of Wales, poetess Menna Elfyn emphasized in her greetings of the New Year when she quoted Jack Gilbert's line from one of his lovely poems: "We must risk delight."

Europe connected through the arts and cultures
When thinking about how Europe is connected through culture, it became a practical question as to what contributions European Capitals of Culture have made so far to bringing about a 'cultural synthesis' capable of energizing artists to do outstanding works of art. To trace possible links and follow-ups between past, present and future ECoCs, there has been started a research project to examine the various linkages within given and still better to be formulate categories of the arts. See archive of European Capitals of Culture
Future ECoCs
San Sebastian 2016 and Wroclaw 2016
and Leeuwarden 2018 in Holland
Matera 2019 in Italy. The city will join the previous Italian cities which were European Capitals of Culture: Florenz 1986, Bologna 2000 and Genoa 2004.
Plovdiv 2019 in Bulgaria.
2020 Ireland and Croatia
2021 Greece and Rumania
Learning out of previous experiences - what is deemed to be a success story?
How candidate cities learn out of previous experiences made by other ECoC cities, this can be studied onhand of what these cities identify as factors which have contributed to making this project into a success stories. Largely the cultural impact is described in non cultural terms, see

Green Guard ReviewsGreen Guard 4
"Absolutely loved the position, excellent regional sales managers, but felt like a little fish in a big pond by corporate "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Green GuardPros
This is a remote position, the company being in St Louis, Mo, your office is your home. All of your inventory (first aid and safety supplies) are sent UPS to your home. They provided a company van, in excellent condition, to house your inventory and to service your business accounts. In the central Ohio territory I was blessed with two different regional managers while I was with the company and they were both fantastic. Being a veteran sales professional, they took me to the next level and were always there to help me improve my craft. If you can open new accounts, cross sell existing customers new products and services, you can make excellent money with this company. Being a remote position has its advantages, they have a basic outlined schedule M-F however as long as you are servicing your customers, hitting your numbers, and getting new accounts... its pretty much like having your own business, with none of the overhead, and all of the benefits of working for a publicly traded company.Cons
The reason I resigned from my position was they were restucturing pay for Territory Managers on a national level. This was due to the slowing ecconomy. The company was attemting to do a good thing in raising salaries, and lowering commission percentages in attempt to make their employees incomes more stable and for most territories this was probably very helpful. In my territory it would have been about a 10k a year pay cut. This is a real sales job, if your a hunter, and have excellent relationship management skills.. you are going to do well.. if you dont, dont waste your time.
Being a remote position I feel the technology could have been better. There a lot of reports that are definately need to be done and are extremely helpful both to you and to your managers to help you improve. For a company the size of Unifirst Corp, I would think there would have been a stronger IT department. Too much repetitve information from one report to the other.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Develope an online system your territory managers can enter information into vs the forwarding of exel spreadsheets that are being edited by many different people it would save everyone time and you would have better accountablity. Although, the pay restucturing was an attempt to do a good thing, relize that every territory is not the same. As a loyal employee doing an exceptional job for the company, I felt "Punished" for doing a god job. Being that my compensation package was mainly commission based, regardless of the economy, in my opinion their was no justification for a pay cut in my territory, and when I attempted to talk with management I felt like a little fish in a big pond.Recommends
