Did Gordon Ever Call Gail?

Amaechi needs to be much higher on these lists. At least the rest of the guys had the intention of playing basketball when they signed their contracts. Shandon Anderson probably needs a couple votes as well.

Remind me what Shandon did. I am getting older and am not remembering this one.

Will someone do a thread about just this and we can come up with a consenses overall list? I am guessing we might make it to 20 X Jazz players that are hated by the fans.

Took less to leave a strong role on a Jazz finals team to go and play for Houston, and was basically never heard from again. He got a ring with Miami as a 12th man and now runs a vegan restaurant.

Eh, two "players" on that list aren't even Jazzmen. Do people really hate Olden Polyniece? I mean he was kind of a moron, but hated? You have to work real hard to be hated on the Jazz. Most people have even forgiven DWill.

Except John Crotty. That guy can burn in Hell forever.

True. I'll adjust mine for actual Jazz players and remove those I really don't care about anymore even if they were punks.

when you give 2 weeks notice, you at least tell them. I am pretty sure you told them you are leaving instead of just disappearing and post it on facebook or sth

I am strongly opposed to the whole 2 weeks notice thing. I feel absolutely no obligation whatsoever to give 2 weeks notice in most circumstances.

One place I worked would walk you out the door the second you gave your two weeks notice. Most places I've worked, when they don't want you to work there anymore and decide to fire you, they might come to that conclusion days or even weeks before they actually do it. You show up to work on a Friday and instead of going to work they pull you aside, tell you you don't work there anymore. Escort you to gather your things and walk you out the door. Yet I'm supposed to give them 2 weeks notice? Yeah, no thanks. If it's convenient for me I'll do it. If not, I won't. If I feel like it will help my coworkers at all I would strongly lean towards giving notice, but I've never been in a situation in my adult life where I can be adequately replaced in 2 weeks.

At my current job, if I found a new place to work I'd take two-weeks off to coincide with when I start at the new place. I'd give the new place two weeks trial. If I liked it I'd wait to get paid for my vacation and let the old place know I wasn't coming back. If I didn't like the new place I'd just return to work at the end of my vacation and let the new place know I didn't like it there.

The relationship between employee and employer is completely lopsided when it comes to hiring and firing. I think there are a lot of advantages to being an employee, you don't have to give any of those advantages up voluntarily. You can bet your *** your employer doesn't give up their power in order to be nice or considerate.

Most hated X Jazz players.

1. Kanter
2. Fisher
3. Williams ( I still like, just not that he ended Jerry)
4. Hayward
5. Bell
6. Ostertag
7. Boozer
8. Polynice
9. Mark Jackson ( messing up locker room )
10. Seikaly (got traded to us but never came)

Love to hear what order others have them in or who is in your top 10 hated. :)

Why do you hate Polynice? Also, Ostertag was perhaps frustrating from a fans' perspective, but he never had any bad interactions with fans or trashed the franchise in any other way than being lazy.

Amaechi for sure. Actually, he's more pathetic than he is hate-able. Anderson stung for a while but I'm way over that. I always thought he looked like Smokey from The PJs.

Why? He had a really terrific second stint with us.

I kinda agree, ive seen people forced into retirement due to others poor decisions but they needed a fall guy, people f'd over, all kinds of shenanigans, one chic didnt do any work at all ever I mean ever but see claimed she was hit on by a manager when they tried to fire her and they wrote her the fattest check under the table

Most places your just fodder so if you want to quit then quit

You know there is nothing more pathetic than the predictable John Crotty apologist popping up every time he is mentioned. Just goes to show you how organized and well funded the people covering for him are.

Eh, the last time I gave a two weeks notice because I was moving to start my own business, my company kept me on contract for 6 months working remotely while I moved and had lead time to get things set up. Really helped my transition to SBO.


I guess the lesson here is to work for better companies. . .

Yeah, Intel and Micron are pretty crap companies... lol
Danone (Dannon) is a also pretty crap...

If it was beneficial to me I'd give notice. If it made no difference I'd give notice. If it wasn't beneficial to me I'd have no problem not giving notice.

Just because a company is big and profitable, doesn't mean that they aren't crap places to work.

They aren't crap places to work. Intel/Micron walk people who are leaving because they are concerned about their IP. Danone, and most other companies, large and small, fire people on Friday.
