i was one of thise naive ones once. A mid-level manager wrote in my year end review that I was being made to perform 2 separate jobs at a lower wage and i would be promoted as soon as they could. When I brought that up to management a year later after he left, HR rules because the guy left they didnt have to honor… Read more
One time, Mike Siano called me lazy (I wasn’t) and said if I didn’t work harder, I could be replaced. He neglected to offer any ideas on how this could be achieved. Read more
They didn’t just lay off full-time workers in those departments; they also laid off long-term part-timers who were promised full-time slots over the years, who they treated like full-timers and worked just as hard (or harder) than their full-time staff, even working overnight shifts to accommodate major demands from… Read more
I worked under Siano and Kap for a season - never personally incurred their wrath but worked with plenty who did.

As I mentioned in another post, I worked there for one baseball season and it was the worst job I’ve ever had. The constant berating for any issue, big or small, was so freaking stressful. It really soured me on trying to find jobs in fields that I loved, because I really couldn’t even watch baseball for a while after… Read more

As someone who used to listen to MLBAM’s fantasy baseball podcast, I can confirm Siano is a dope. And he’s a Yankees/Steelers fan. Read more

My morals and my soul were shaped by the most wonderful woman, the love of my life, who I was blessed to have as my partner for 50 years.” Read more
Almost all of those media outlets are NFL sycophants so of course they’re going to buy his “apology”. I can’t wait for the day he goes to Court to resolve this and either a jury finds him guilty ot he makes and admission he could be found guilty. Expect to see lots of flying dildoes at Ralph Wilson Stadium this year wh… Read more
Kid trained for a few years in Riverside, which is my family’s home rink. The economy is good, though, so hockey is eating up almost all of the ice time, and he and all the other top-level US skaters have moved on to Colorado Springs. (There are many, many more people willing to drop $10k/year on junior hockey than on… Read more
