He wanted to find a way for the idea to be mutually beneficial to the existing employees & the acquiring company. The best way to do that, is to have the acquiring company earmark the bonus money for employees on a 5-year vesting schedule. That way 1) the employees are able to get the money plus keep their jobs for at least 5 years, & 2) it ensures seamless transition for the acquiring company without the headache of having to backfill employees who left due to change in ownership. Now the acquiring company (essentially) has 5 years to build relations with the existing employees and orient them into their culture with the idea of hopefully keeping them beyond.
Additional benefits lie on the tax side. If Walker paid the employees the bonus out of his proceeds that money would've been taxed 1) when Walker received it from the purchasers of the company and 2) later when the employees received it from Walker.

I was hoping to come back to a decent debate but that shite ain’t even worth responding to.

re: The Heisman Trophy is as irrelevant as ever
Posted by BenDover on 12/6/25 at 2:10 pm to JamalMurry27
It’s irrelevant because the voters are so deadset on giving it to a QB, that the actual best player in the country, Jeremiyah Love, has been virtually disregarded.

How would UGA be 1st in this scenario if they have the same conference record and Bama beat UGA?

At the very least, Philly needs to answer for the change in his “deal is done” stance.
And "press release this afternoon with full press conference in 48 hours". I feel like this guy reads rumors he (and maybe a handfull of others) deem as credible on some paid site, and then ups the ante with his bullshite "it's done" comment to come off as an even more plugged-in source.
Do you think these guys are doing this from a need-for-attention standpoint or trying to speak it into existence? I don't really understand what motivates someone to create an alter ego of some plugged in source and post made up shite over here.
In retrospect, Paige's comment to Francis on the first hole "You've obviously never played competitive golf" is wild given 1) Dalke who obviously played competitively also didn't want to give the putt, and 2) Paige later improving Mo's lie and then playing victim and preying on the others' empathy.
The Invitational was well produced, well-viewed, and amazing content which should've helped the brand of everyone there. It crushed Paige's.

I would not apply; it is too passive aggressive of a move. I would bring it up to whoever told you the new position would not result in an increase and ask them to clarify their original statement or their understanding of your current compensation.
This is 100% the correct way to go about it.

I was shocked they didn't stick with the run in the second half. There are yards to be had between the tackles against the Falcons.
Brady had a pretty bad game last night. Cook was getting the yards you mentioned via the avenue you mentioned, but Brady still couldn't help himself from trying to throw it around the park to a depleted WR corps... against the #1 pass defense in the league.
You'd think that watching Bijan skulldrag Buffalo's defense would maybe enlighten Brady to feature his own run game. Or, potentially, get the ball into Cook's hands in space via the pass like they've done in the 4 games they've won.
Wallet says Beck, I have a futures bet on him. Head says Mendoza will have the shortest odds after today. Simpson is playing well but he’s the type who gets invited to NY to clap for the winner.
I think Haynes King should be the front runner, though. He’s a gamer and really is the engine behind GT’s cinderella season.

It tends to take a little heat off the guy at the plate when, in the same game, he can walk out to the mound and get you 9Ks, 6 innings, and a quality start.

Patrick Mahomes tailspin the last 3 years has been insane. He went from Goat contender to 19th best QB in the league overnight.
He still is a GOAT contender. He, and Andy Reid, had to totally redesign their offense to this quick-passing west coast type of offense once Tyreek left and father time caught up to Kelce. I think they've done a hell of a job with that, all things considered. It's obviously not as fun to watch, but it's still pretty damn effective. With Worthy on the team now, and Rice coming back, I think you'll start to see their offense begin to open up again.

Those two on some type of Hard Knocks show would be must watch TV.
I can't remember where I saw the comment but someone said he looks like a fullback playing QB and it's all I can see now. Something doesn't look right about him dropping back, going through progressions, and delivering the ball with anticipation. The missed deep ball to D Smith on 3rd down was tough to watch.
I'm not sure if the bland play calling is due to those limitations, or Hurts' limitations are due to the bland play calling, but Eagles' play designs appear elementary relative to their peers.

Battle for first place comes down to MNF. Half-point PPR and I'm up 8.3 points. Opponent has JChase and Miami D. Who would you start in this situation?
Chase Brown @ DEN
or
Waddle vs. NYJ

Rural area west of Houston is > $200/sqft. Guy I know is GC'ing his own construction and expects to be ~$185/sqft.
In 2021, my wife & I built a fully custom home for $161/sqft financed at 2.75%. Sounds great except we're now slaves to our own equity, I doubt we'll see that type of deal again in our lifetime.

I’ve felt this year was down so far. Just didn’t see any data on it until now.
I think a lot of it has to do with the new kickoff rules and where teams start with the ball now.

I cant imagine myself sitting Tyreek Hill for Garret Wilson who has Tyrod Taylor throwing him the ball if they even throw it.
Honestly, I couldn't imagine sitting either one of those for Olave. Certainly not Hill, he's (very) likely to have the script in his favor tonight against a much better team. Wilson is a huge talent and my bet is that Tyrod locks onto him and peppers him with targets. Bucs are a good run D, they're going to sell out on Hall and the run game.
I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again, but Olave is an easy sit here for me.
