"what exactly do you do here?"
PR- Tom youre really not doing yourself favors right now! Please just chill for a second!
Tom
"Fire them all!"
Man this is bad. Sorry tor all the empoyees. Stay strong, my friends. Fed up of all these Executives and their excel sheets.
Dear lord, we got bought by Mr. Krabs
And remember kids, all billionaires are evil.
I assume and hope its people who are in position that allow them to collect without doing much for the team in general….
But if we are talking about the common employees who work at the moda center then I totally feel for you guys …
If they were higher ups then I don't feel bad…
We live in a world where HR makes more than the employee who actually do the physical work….🤷🏾♂️
An Indeed ad read after talking about 70 people losing their job… Oof.
Tom going to have a hard time getting city money doing all this, bad move to get rid of this many jobs while in the middle of negotiations.
Sitting next to Elliott Hill, the other big layoff king of Portland.
🤢 Disgusted. I hope he doesn’t touch Kevin and Lamar
That "in today's show" hit a little different today.
It’s obviously normal for these changes to happen it’s more what else does this lead to especially because dundon’s goal is to be as cheap as possible. As of right now his judgement and decision making on owning a nba team hasn’t led to anything positive.
You jinxed us yesterday when you signed off saying you were going to talk about Jrue "unless some other team news drops".
how manybtotal employees in the blazer organization?
What did you expect from a billionaire Trump supporter who made his money in predatory lending. He's going to become the Don Sterling of owners. Yo I'm just saying.
Luckily, there are 29 other teams to get behind, soon to be 31 other flavors. Good riddance to my allegiance to this "team," my condolences to those who've been betrayed by the new ownership.
I’m getting Trump vibes from this Dundon guy. Eww.
Thank you Casey for the great content over the years and all the fantastic work. F**k dunce-den.
Well the Blazers are kind of a mess.. so some restructuring is probably long overdue.. for the roster and staff
