UPDATE: Blazers will be sending their TV & Radio crews w/ the team on the road

Then repurpose your staff and make sure they keep their same level of pay. Voila. Problem solved.

 

None of that is a good move for a company if it results in pay cuts though.

And they travel with the team, so there aren't any carbon savings anyway.

 

Ever see a movie where a plane is out of fuel and trying to shed ballast to get to a landing spot? Shedding HCP alone will save you fuel! Weight is fuel consumption so fewer people on a plane means better efficiency! That's carbon footprint my friend even on the same plane, bus or taxi. Anyway..(this is meant as humor) .this dead horse has turned to dust...you guys carry on. I've said my piece about the topic.

 

Solid point actually. It does impact carbon emissions.

You are right about the dead horse. It just seems like another sign of an out of touch ownership group, IMO. And that's part of the problem.

I appreciate you sharing your perspective.

 

@riverman I don't think @THE HCP could have laid it out any clearer. There are three revenue streams that he is losing and per diem is only one of those. I don't why you don't just read the guy's words and I also don't know why you shill for the team so much. Is it you making a shabby attempt at gaslighting us or just a lack of understanding?

I don't know how much clearer the man has to be but here it is again for you.

 

I've read it.....you can insult my attempt all you like...I've been clear about how I can understand a perspective that's not just purely a "fuck this team" kneejerk reaction to something I don't know all the details about nor do you. I've gone through exactly what HCPs going through right now and like him, I adapted. I got over it...didn't make me hate the school district for outsourcing my side gig but understand this....I'm not judging the front office or franchise over a business decision that may end up being a good one...we just don't know. Facts. Try not to make it personal if you don't mind. Respect ..pass it on. HCP I consider a good friend. He can bust my balls about all this but I don't care if people post "fuck this team" every time they make a change from the front office. I'm just not that guy nor do I need to be. You guys are welcome to protest the team and email the front office, etc. ...it's your right as a fan. I've nothing left to add to this thread...y'all enjoy it.

 

So it looks like the front office is reading the room...that's a.good president!

 

Not the typical stubborness we are used to in the front office!

 

Lets hear it for Chad and the GODFATHER!

 

Now does @THE HCP have to turn down those other jobs he was picking up?

 

beat me to it dawg!

 

Just got off the phone with Mrs HCP. She’s excited our in season visits will now continue.

 

I hope the employees will get their full salary back

 

And lets be honest, those dude in the Organization, they read here and in other blazers forums, 100% they read here

 

This statement confuses me. They obviously will if they are now working more games. Did you think they would only get home game pay but have to now work road games also?

 

Thats a good question?

 

I explained above what situation would have been. Myself and two others would have pretty much have to take a 30% cut in pay….. everyone else would have had been paid in full. I believe he was talking about us.
