re: Is the job market "bad"?

Posted by STLhog on 9/3/26 at 5:50 am to
Old guy yelling at clouds but it’s hard for new graduates right now because their 22-26 year old, post covid graduating upper classmen that did make it into the workforce are all retarded babies that think they should be making $250k at age 25.

I have 6-7 of them on or around my team and we’ve had to spend an insane amount of time coaching and weening them but it’s a serious problem. They can “do” some stuff but it’s a sit around and wait for an assignment type thing, not pick up the phone and get shite done or pull people into a meeting. They are all tethered to their desks and phones and think email is enough.

I’m 38 and it’s dramatically different from when i was coming up at that age. Myself and peers were having to be told “slow down”. These kids treat the professional world like college. Pass the class and move onto the next thing.

Covid and screens have fricked up a generation. There’s a few her and there that “get it” but even those we have to spend an inordinate amount of time with.
We’ve won 10 straight. Why not give some new guys an opportunity to gain experience based on how they’ve played?

Spieth is 13-5-1 at Presidents Cups. Should we take him too?

Gerard is Hilarious


Sorry, meant on the course. I know he’s cool and has some fire, just doesn’t show it very often.

Only meant his general on course demeanor and appearance feels like he gets lost in the shuffle for whatever reason and he doesn’t get the right amount of respect.

He should be on the team.
He’s unfortunately one of those JT Poston/Davis Thompson types that even with results just looks like 15 other golfers on tour and has no personality.

Shame because he’s got serious game.

The JT pick probably bugs me more than Kouivon. Worth taking a swing to get him experience, JT simply hasn’t earned it.
Think it’s a Johnnie O. Or Peter millar. Google both their collegiate lines and you’ll find a lot of options.

He absolutely touched the sand. On his last waggle or whatever you want to call it, before he hits the ball, you can see the sand change behind the ball, there's a new flat spot, about the size of a quarter, it's clear as day to me. Does it matter? I don't think so.


couldn't agree more. The rule doesn't exist for this purpose and under a slow motion, zoomed in review.

It was incredibly incidental and I'm glad they didn't penalize him.
quote:

think he played the Colonial shortly after those comments…and proceeded to finish dead last in shots gained around the greens. Dude is a joke, a very very good golfer, but nowhere near a Tour Pro


Personally witnessed him ping pong across a green 2 times and watched him hit the saddest spinny 240-260 yard push drive off a tee.

Was embarrassed for him.

Sad because the PGA thing was really cool. All he had to do was shut up and just be a chill guy.

That BB Pro is a sneaky awesome watch. Tudor is really starting to grow on me and will probably be my next buy. Love the 58 coke GMT and classic gilt.

look at the bottom left hand side of the video, three different people jump from about the 5:15 to 5:45 mark.


Wish I hadn't watched this. Gut wrenching to know it was that or be burnt alive.

As someone that has extreme anxiety over heights, truly diabolical.

Paranoid schizophrenic


Yup. Typically shows up meaningfully and takes hold for males in their late 20s-30s. Nasty arse disease and requires nasty meds with lots of side effects to curb it. Most aren’t able to stay on them consistently.

Basically every wild homeless dude you see walking around shouting/talking to themselves.
It’s easy to look back in hindsight and blame intelligence failure etc. all valid no question,

Part of me thinks the American human mind and heart simply could not comprehend or imagine flying planes into two 100+ story buildings. OKC and WTC truck bomb attempt aside, this was on such a colossally different level of evil. And then it happened.

The scary part and the sad part for UBL is he thought it would break us and our way of life. It’s been less than 30 years and many have basically forgotten or don’t really know anything about it. That’s how far we’ve digressed as a society.

I’d argue social media and phones have done far worse than 9/11 ever will which is depressing.

LOL. This is what the Chyna dealers put as their brand for Vacheron super clones.

I get the draw of a Sub and GMT, there's really not a more pure, clean diver/gmt watch out there. But damn, the games to play are depressing for a steel watch though.

As far as chrono's go, a Speedmaster pro or Zenith El Pinero holds up just as well as a Daytona from historical and craftmanship standpoint.

Grand Seiko also makes some incredible watches, both appearance and mechanically.

But I get it, the draw to Rolex is real and hard to deny. Not only is the marketing incredible but holding a Sub or GMT hand is really a site to behold.

He made one horrible decision and seeked help because of it.


Tiger has multiple DUIs etc etc. He kicked in the mesh on 2 lockers. "horrible decision" is a little bit extreme.

The head of Oakmont literally came out and said there was a bunch of BS nonsense around him not doing x, y, z and in actuality, he did everything they asked. He owned it a week later in the presser at the next tourney. Guess he could have posted something on social media immediately but you'd probably still have people crying about how genius he is.

"horrible decision" and "destroyed a locker room" are strong words when this was the posted incident.

The dude has some issues and is not very likeable but it's time to move on. Sounds like a bunch of woman on facebook. The horror of the old mesh getting kicked in!!!! How will that locker and the history of Oakmont ever recover?!?!

It's money off the tee, but I can't hit it off the deck to save my life


Same situation for my Srixon 3 iron. It's great off the tee for a 220-240 yard shot under the wind but find my 7 wood is a much more playable club everywhere else.

The amount of idiot 220 yard shots I've tried to hit off the deck with that club is mind blowing.

Only link I could find. He’s done this many times along with yelling at his caddie about things like the wind.
And Scottie? Hate his swing? Love his attitude?
I just think about the what Tiger, Phil and hell, even boom boom got away with on tour and think what Clark has ever done pales in comparison. Add DJ to that list.

Again, he’s not my favorite golfer but watching someone drain 20 foot clutch putts, rip fairways woods onto par 5s in two, and get up and down from Mars is pretty fun if you like golf.
Scottie trashes clubs all the time and does the exact same thing with changing clubs behind his lies.

Everyone doesn’t have to be Fleetwood.
