RRRR: Everlasting Rigamorale

Its 2032 and a post liver transplant KW wheels himself out to the podium to once again discuss a controversial managerial hire.
"Let's keep this short people, I don't have all day."
"Kenny, how is the hiring of Gordon Beckham going to get the White Sox out of their perpetual thirdplaceness?"
"Look, first of all he was an infielder...also we came to find out that all Paulie was interested in was getting back to the desert and building a larger home. Gordon Beckham is a smart baseball man, as you know he played over 2,000 games in his career and learned from some of the best managers in the business in Jim Parque, Herbert Perry and Bill Simas. Anyone who thinks this is not the best hire we could have made is clearly mistaken. Not serving as Paulie's bench coach instilled in him the anti-sabermetric aspects that are valued in baseball today but we really think that Paulie was just looking for more square footage. It was all he talked about behind closed doors and in the media… We have pinpointed the new market ineffieciency and it is experience. Beckham has a big heart and an ample gut. You'll see and until you see or don't see we will tell you what you should believe and believe it you will."
"A lot of people are saying this is a hire in the same vein as the Ventura hire, what are your thoughts on that?"
"I don't want to talk about Robin. That ship sailed years ago."
"It seemed like the team under Paulie lacked the fire and commitment needed to win championships, much less divisions. How will the hire of Gordon Beckham make things different?"
"Well it’s the same thing we always look for, minus the obvious. It is now public knowledge that Ozzie fucked my wife in her asshole, Robin masterbated on her and Parque lefty fisted her…Jerry and I believe that Beckham is asexual enough to fit in around here and get things done, in fact he volunteered to have his testicles removed as a condition of his hire. I of course told him that was unnecessary and all we needed him to do was to instill the same grindiness that he gave us out of the DH spot in the last six years of his career."
"Fans and critics alike are wondering if we would ever see a White Sox hitter bunt in this decade. Does Beckham like the bunt?"
"As you all know Beckham cut his teeth under Ozzie and was forced to bunt in the worst of circumstances at all times based on him being a secondbaseman. One of the reasons why we hired Beckham was that he doesn't like the bunt. If the bunt didn't work 25 years ago its not going to work in today's game either…not much has changed."
"Tony LaRussa III bunts all the time and he has won several championships."
"Tony doesn't win because of the bunt, he wins because he wills his team to win. His father was the same way and we see the same will in Gordon Beckham. Gordon is my favorite person in baseball because baseball is a baseball man's game and the way we play baseball here on the south side is a baseball man's baseball dream of baseball the correct baseball way. Seriously, if I could fuck a baseball, I would fuck a Gordon Beckham autographed baseball. The stitches are just tighter on a Beckham autographed baseball."
"You said basically the same thing about Parque."
"Despite Parque's results I would still fuck a Parque autographed baseball. He knows baseball better than anyone in the business. He's been around baseball his whole life you see, we look for people who have been life long baseball people and we put them in situations to succeed."
"At the end of Paulie's tenure it seemed like you and he were butting heads a bit. Was this personal or was it just a baseball decision to fire him?"
"Paulie knows baseball better than anyone, the proof is in the pudding…don't you remember his grand slam in 2005 bringing a World Series victory? That right there proves he knows baseball but sometimes things in your personal life seep into your career. In Paulie's case he felt compelled to add 40 more rooms onto his home, this is why we find Paulie's managing the Tempe Devil Rays…I love Paulie to death and it pains me to see him go, I have imbibed scotch with him on many occasions but we all agreed that it was best for him to move on."
"Are you still talking to Jerry through a Ouiji board."
"Yes."
"Is he telling you how to conduct business."
"No, he is more of someone to lean on than anything. He did tell me that if the fans don't come out to the park that his magical bank account won't have anything in it anymore. So beware fans, if you don't like this hire and you don't come to the park next year because of it, you are going to be the one to suffer and if you change the channel during commercials we might not have enough to re-sign fan favorite Valdijhonny Sweetlord when his contract expires after next season. If he is gone it will be the fans fault and they should feel guilty about it the rest of their living days. I can't imagine there being any more questions, are we done? I really don't have all day and I am getting annoyed and bored. I don't like talking about my job because it is my job to not talk about my job"
"Just one more, do you think Peavy's robotic arm is going to hold up this year? It is now widely known that he switched to Raytheon ball bearings and apparently he fully expects to make it through the whole season without viscosity issues, but we have heard this before of course…"
"Jake Peavy is going to be Jake Peavy and we expect him to win. His life time contract aside, we feel he puts us in the best position to win. He knows baseball and brings fire and commitment to the cause, he is unrelenting and will…………"

Seems like we are getting a bit far out on the limb of good taste...
I’ll allow the Boss to give his ruling.
"MY NAME IS YOANIS CESPEDEZ YOU KILLED MY FATHER" WHAT!
It's been up for four days.
Seems like the ruling has been made.
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
If it has, it has.
And if it has the Boss has altered his original boundaries, I’d surmise. Which is fine by me.
"MY NAME IS YOANIS CESPEDEZ YOU KILLED MY FATHER" WHAT!
More likely is that he did not read this
really I wasn’t trying to shock anyone, I was trying to demonstrate that personal business gets in the way of real business at times. I decided to go to the nth degree I guess but only because you have called me William Burroughs. The best part is, I am not employed by SSS, I am just a guy who spends too much time thinking about White Sox baseball. If someone were to take issue with this (which they won’t because it is tucked away in a non-descript fanpost in a small corner of the universe) they should probably address issues within themselves and their capacity for humour. I’d have to imagine that the regulars that have kept on reading my shit are no offended and the ones who don’t like my shit have already decided not click on them anymore. If Jim gets any gruff from a concerned parent or a corporowad he can ask me to tone it down or just banish me.

Nah, I’m sure you are being facetious. I might tone it down only because you are revered on this site (INFERSTRUCTURE! causes me to weep with gratitude) and you are often FP’ed. And more eyeballs means a bit more scrutiny.

Instead of using the concentrate could you just juice the oranges and reapply the fiber once juiced? Or is that just too hyper?
Off-Season Proposition Bet Tally - 1 won - 6 lost
If you want to use fresh oranges instead of concentrate,
I think your best bet would be to zest an orange, peel it, then toss it in a blender. Pour the blended orange and zest into a saucepan, then simmer for a bit to reduce to desired thickness.
I’ve never had orange pie or rhubarb pie. I do remember eating rhubarb a few times as a kid since my grandparents used to grow it in their garden.
I’d like to give this recipe a try (with fresh oranges). If I do, I’ll let you know how it turns out.

one is preventable, at least
watch in 5.1, mute/unplug your center speaker (where the announcers are). turn volume up as surround crowd level is always less than the center.
enjoy just crowd and stadium announcements. watch out for commercials, halftime, or sideline reporters that aren’t 5.1 MAKING LOUD NOISES.

Would you be my personal shopper?
Off-Season Proposition Bet Tally - 1 won - 6 lost
My current receiver is circa 1990 pioneer
So i would need a new one of those. I have a 40" samsung LCD, only two polk speakers
Off-Season Proposition Bet Tally - 1 won - 6 lost
a DVR that decodes and spits out 5.1, then anything that takes 5.1 input and outputs to a speaker array, really.
at home i have:
TiVo HD
Onkyo SR-705 receiver, out to 7 speakers, 1 sub. (7.1 surround)
TiVo to receiver via HDMI, though depending on your DVR or receiver, the audio connection could be done over coax or optical.
for a budget, logitech has basic 5.1 all-in-a-box systems that work really well (not just saying that because a project lead for that was an old manager of mine). a buddy has been using a set of those with a directv box and samsung tv in various studio apartments in santa monica and berkeley with no complaints.
the theory behind it is that when the networks do their 5.1 mix for the broadcast, they put the announcers solely on the center channel and do various shit to mix in the crowd mics / field mics to the front sides and rears. sure, there might be some in the center, too, but it’s an easy trade-off to not have to listen to joe buck. thinking about it, one could de-hawk their lives if that’s how CSN/WGN do their baseball mix. i’m on MLB.tv, so i haven’t been able to test it.
it’s not a hard-and-fast rule, but for the most part all the majors do this across their various sports on their HD stations. i’ve seen it not work for some of last year’s NBA season on some cable station (NBATV?), but c’est la vie. i’ve only listened to announcers for NFL at home once this season, and that was last sunday when marv albert was covering the chargers game.

first: good god no. second: exactly. i just had two extra speakers of the same model as my rears, and a receiver that did it.
really, i’ve only done true 7.1 with a few blu-ray movies from my ps3 that specifically had audio tracks that mixed that way. everything else is kind of mixed/faked on the two guys in the back. (dolby pIIx and similar settings)
it’s all about the minimal 5.1 that the HD signal is sent as and killing that center speaker By Any Means Necessary, like you say and as SSE says below. in fact, that’s the method i use. rather than dig through settings, just unplug the motherfucker.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, 1/2 pack of cigarettes...it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Style question for the writers here: Do you use two spaces after a period?
Rhubarb does (at least in this Rigamorole, though in his comments it looks like he single-spaced). I always have doubled, and I can’t stop. Scanning the comments here, I see a lot of you single-space.
This is an old-ish article, but re-FPed recently on Slate. I learned to type on a typewriter, with the obvious mono-spaced font. Since its an obsolete tool, and most (all?) devices for keyboarding the written word utilize a proportional font, should we follow typographic style guidelines now and go to single space? Is single space taught to new students now?
Hell, I’m doing it as I type this now. Its a reflex, and if I miss one of the spaces, I always go back to add another one.
Stop double spacing after a period
Dave Martinez woulda had that.
The comments section must space differently than the story. My comment looks like the same white space as others (and I know I dbl-spaced)
So comparing the posted stories, I would say Jim and TP single, U-God, Larry, and KenWo double.
Dave Martinez woulda had that.
I do double.
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
And I'm pretty sure that's just the way I was taught.
If not, I have no idea why I do so. The only time I single-space is with a character limit.

It certainly is unnecessary now, which is the point of the article.
Until I read it, I was blind to the fact that doubling is not proper anymore. I think the bottom line is that readability is unaffected whether its single or double, at least to me. I imagine our pro and semi-pro writers here have at least thought more about it than I.
Dave Martinez woulda had that.
I think that the double-space is becoming a dinosaur due to technology but I still use it in all formats
I think Jim probably does a single space because he was trained in AP style. I was trained in MLA style and it used to be they prescribed double space (10+ years ago) but now there is this. http://www.mla.org/style_faq3

That all being said, I think a lot of the rules of punctuation and grammar are too restrictive to the creative process.

I think grammar rules are important, but should only be loosely enforced.
Only a handful of people here are expected to adhere to them. Beyond that, the meaning is whats important.
The rules of grammar and style need to be preserved, to avoid the slippery slope of degradation like txt-speak . They need to adapted too, like this single-space thing that just upended my world.
By loosely-enforced, I mean, no one likes a grammar snob (unless they are joking, therefore making fun of grammar snobs).
Dave Martinez woulda had that.
For media, governmental and business purposes
grammar rules should be adhered to. Creative processes, not so much. I had classes that debated this very issue.

this part was interesting:
the animosity between player and manager has been exacerbated by Tevez’s insistence on his return from Buenos Aires that Mancini owes him an apology. In return Tevez was willing to accept he had refused at one point to warm up and to issue an apology of his own. Mancini refused and will not budge.
he clearly understands this would undermine the manager completely. probably trying to get him fired.

gee, what great advice. why would anyone be upset that their relatives died due to police negligence? what a bunch of babies. i bet they’re also upset that the police, with the backing of the government (thanks margaret!) not only lied about their role in the tragedy but went on a public campaign to blame the victims. everbody’s so damn entitled these days. what ever happened to the old stiff upper lip?

to completely absolve the Liverpool fans of any blame on that fateful day is ridiculous.
Some of the stories I have heard about what they were getting up to in the hours leading up to the kick off are never printed.
There is a sickening mawkishness Liverpool and it’s people, not just about Hillsborough but about everything, never happy unless everyone is taking pity on them. I think the judge has a valid point
so they deserved to die.
or at least some of them did. got it. and now their families won’t stop whining about it. that’s got to be irritating.

look, i’m sure there are plenty of sanctimonious people that act as you described. from my distant perspective, and never having dealt with anyone from liverpool, i would expect there to be a distinction though between some random liverpudlian and an actual relative of someone who died there.

i don't know.
i don’t have any idea what the current perception is but it seems like for at least a pretty long time the police were not coming in for their share of the responsibility. obviously it’s impossible to exactly apportion blame, it just seems like what the police did was a pretty extra bad thing and i can see how it would upset the people involved.

lord taylor's report released, what, in august 1989 placed the primary blame on the south yorkshire police.
four months doesn’t seem that long to me.
i was referring to what i read.
Had responsibility been accepted at the inquest that followed, there would be no campaign for justice, disclosure process and debates – like today’s in parliament – 22 years later. However, lies were told from the beginning. Duckenfield told the FA’s chief executive, Graham Kelly, on the scene, that fans had forced the exit gate, when in fact Duckenfield had ordered it to be opened.
Then the police relentlessly pushed the case, to the media, to Taylor and the inquest, that the fans had been drunk and so had caused the disaster – exactly how, they never quite specified. Taylor explicitly criticised that police case, saying it was “a matter of regret” that “such an unrealistic approach” had been taken – and he did not know what emerged later, that senior South Yorkshire police officers systematically had junior officers’ statements changed, to present that case to Taylor.

the problem with banging on about 'justice'
all the time is that it’s meaningless without some form of concrete demands to what form this justice is to take.
If you wanted to imprison everyone who either directly or indirectly had some involvement in the deaths of those fans you would have to build another jail.
and I never said they deserved to die
i was being sarcastic. (about implying that you said they deserve to die)
like i said before, i’m sure there are more than enough terrible people. it just sounded to me like a gross generalization. i suppose i could have just assumed you meant lots of people, not all people from liverpool, but what’s done is done.

honestly, i think the further you watch breaking bad, the better you think it is.
the show evolves much more than almost any i’ve ever seen. and not out of desperation or lack of options.
i don’t think it’s a spoiler alert to say the evolution of walter white on that show is outstanding. i can’t think of a comp.
re: klosterman. i read the article, but i can’t say it’s better than the wire. there is something to walter white’s beginnings in cooking that are noble though. and i think most people are rooting for him even as a criminal in season 1 and beyond. that’s why the later seasons get so compelling.
it’s not gonna hold up to repeat viewings in the same way i don’t think, but it’s definitely unique.

One reason that I like The Wire so much is that I don't feel the writers looked down their noses at the viewer.
They trusted the viewers to be able to keep up and keep interest without dumbing it down too much or relying on gimmicky twists. I think some of the plot twists in Breaking Bad (and so many other shows, like, say, Dexter) are way too contrived. The end of season two was almost unforgivable.

so far i definitely agree with this
and i want to say the Wire avoids this almost by definition? and when it starts to feel contrived (s5), it doesn’t work nearly as well.
BB can get away with it because stark realism isn’t necessarily what it’s going for. i can’t speak to the Godfather’s realism, but i think it’s more than reasonable to devote a TV show to really digging at the Michael Corleone thing. wouldn’t you have wanted FFC to have the kind of leeway and time for the Godfather universe that VG gets for BB? BB has other stuff on its mind too, but that’s one of the ways i’ve been watching it is as it fleshes out that transition from good to bad.
So fast he could hit a ball up the middle and it would hit him in the ass sliding into second.
*SPOILER*
I was disappointed with how the final two episodes played out. Initially I was really turned off by it, but have come around a bit since. The chain of events that Walt had to predict and actually execute seemed ridiculous to me. I didn’t think Walt had to go to a new low with a long shot scheme to get the help/information he needed to carry out his objective. The storyline they committed to did make for exciting television, but it seemed a little cheap for this show. Reminded me of the season two plane incident.
yeah, i can see that
when there were 3 episodes to go it seemed like they were gearing up for a grand finale, but then it was like they had to change course when they got picked up for another season and that second to last episode seemingly reworked a couple things.
i still really enjoyed this season. great show.

Scott Hall was a favorite of mine since the early 90s. I met him at an Independent show like 2 or 3 years ago along with Kevin Nash, The New Age Outlaws, King Kong Bundy and some others…
I wish i never met scott hall. the guy is a creep. drugged out, asking us for “yayo”… swinging and missing terribly at every woman in the bar… basically slobbering on himself. getting pissed off at the chicks who were creeped out by him and trying to get away from him. he’s a bigger mess than ozzy is because at least he has sharon to wipe his ass.
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
and now i've read this.
Scott Hall’s reunion with his estranged son Cody at the conclusion of ESPN’s documentary on the wrestler was short-lived as the two are no longer on speaking terms. Sources tell TMZ that Hall’s ongoing drug problems have once again forced the two apart.
ESPN’s documentary last night chronicling the wrestler’s descent showed father and son reunited after not speaking for years. Scott’s ex-wife Dana tells TMZ that the reunion in May “barely lasted a month” and the two are no longer on speaking terms.
The documentary ended with Scott working with Cody to launch his wrestling career. Dana says Cody felt it was “too hard seeing his dad in that kind of state” and therefore has no current plans to pursue wrestling.
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
He was always a favorite of mine too. I've read about his problems for a long time, but this made it a lot more real, so to speak.
I’ve always wondered what it is for some guys. The money? The fame? You have to think that for a lot of wrestlers, the rush of getting a huge pop when they walk out the curtain is a an incomparable high, and when it’s gone, there’s a void.
And then, there are just drug addicts.

Tailgater must also give Big Hurt Beer two thumbs down
Looking forward to knocking back a 24 oz. “crisp full-flavored lager” (as BHB claims to be) I was all giddy as I walked into the Naperville Binny’s where I purchased two cans of BHB. After I got the heavy cans (giggidy) home and chilled them to perfection, I was highly disappointed to discover that they must actually be using some of Frank’s sweat in the brew.
I’m not sure what everyone else’s experience has been, but my BHB went flat almost immediately. I still gave it a spin and didn’t hate the first few sips – a bit sweet with caramel notes – but I couldn’t get past the flatness, that also included a bit of a bitter finish. Even the 7% alcohol buzz factor didn’t keep me hanging in there, so down the drain it went. Sure, there were a few tears in my eyes, but I’m over it now.
Thankfully I also purchased a couple of 4-packs of my favorite Lithuanian beer, Utenos. If you haven’t tried it, do so. Utenos is definitely a crisp, light, full-flavored beer.
Sorry Frank…you need to fire your brewmaster.

They were down 2-0 in English Premier league soccer
With only 7 minutes left and they ended up in a draw. I only saw 2nd half but i was into it! Nice to have sports dramatics so early in the morning on a saturday. I’m going to try to watch more now that baseball won’t be around next weekend
it turned out to be very entertaining.
wolves were pretty awful for about the first 80 minutes and swansea plays some attractive soccer. it got interesting when losing 0-2 mccarthy took off two wingers and replaced them with two not especially attacking players. the fans went berserk and the cameras stayed on them while they were all screaming expletives. (on the guardian website the guy doing the minute by minute report said “A double change by Mick McCarthy, and one that sends the Molineux faithful into a stratospheric funk. They’re up on the downstroke.”)
the fans were apparently chanting “you don’t know what you’re doing” and also possibly joining in with swansea fans to chant “you’re getting sacked in the morning”. of course then wolves scored those two goals. pretty fun.

who had AMZN as a short?
FYI, the close at 227, 1 minute bar down to lows at 185 on the earnings number. about as fast a move as i’ve seen.
barely a share traded until it hit 200. crazy.
has rallied back some after hours. at 200 again now. i don’t think the story is over on this stock. (unlike NFLX)
Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.
its kinda what they do, no? I expected a drop even with earnings in line.
I bought in on a similar drop last summer… closed over 120, dropped to 100 on bad but understandable earnings. I got in at 104 and still long. This is the worst miss since, but there were a couple other similar earnings drops in that time similar quick recoveries. That said I have been playing with options lately and really wanted to make some kind of hedge knowing the history, but couldn’t go through with it.
What do you mean with the nflx comparison? Couldn’t tell if you think amzn is fine and nflx is dead going forward, or the opposite. I was curious about nflx at these levels myself.
nflx is going after the british and irish markets now.
the irish have reverted to their traditional position of being broke, but the brits still have some money to spend on the likes of that.
the bbc iplayer is insanely popular, as is spotify, so i could see netflix doing well.
the irish people are busy giving all of their money, which was lost by the banks (and the developers) (and the government)
to the germans (and the french).
"michael gilhaney is an example of a man that is nearly banjaxed from the principal of the atomic theory. would it astonish you to hear that he is nearly half a bicycle?" ~~ sergeant pluck
yeah, I don't see any problem at all with the business model.
barring more retarded management it looks pretty attractive after recovering, especially from here.
not that hard to like netflix long term right?
or is there something obvious i don’t know?

Amazon is going after them HARD with the streaming video.
They’ve already inked deals to get a lot of the same content. With the release of the Kindle Fire, and the model of getting all the streaming content free with an Amazon Prime shipping subscription, all for less than what Netflix charges if you break it down by month, well, it’s gonna be interesting.

http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2011/10/25/why-netflix-stock-is-so-volatile/
i guess i’m not that familiar with the Netflix business model, but considering the obvious superiority from the customer perspective of that model to the substitutes, it’s not clear to me why rights holders have the leverage Salmon says they do.
i’m sure they’re well aware of what their dvd/blu-ray sales project as for a given show and it’s not that difficult to figure out the point at which it makes sense to sell to Netflix. and for the vast majority of movies and tv shows i’m guessing that answer is “almost immediately”. unless the studios plan on creating their own streaming networks, i guess? i’m not sure what Hulu’s deal is, but at this point it looks like Netflix vs. Amazon.
which, if Amazon has the war chest to get into a war of attrition i could see why Netflix would be feeling the heat. not that that explains why you’d be buying shitty movies unless you thought your stock price was waaaaay more likely to go up than down.

NFLX is a middle man.
Look at HBOGO. Access to all their original programming is huge.
As online streaming services pop up for all the makers of these shows, why not go direct?
The biggest thing NFLX had was first mover advantage and a devout subscriber base because of that.
They screwed up. Big time. And now they’re over a barrel.
What drove their price, IMO, was the potential for a buyout. And I’m guessing that’s the end game.
But it’s gonna be a lot lower now.

the specifics of capital and cash are what matter and i don't know them
but it seems to me there’s value in bundling. Amazon kicked ass thanks to the long tail. Kabletown bought Sheinhardt Wig, not vice versa. being a content provider of your own content is fine, unless nobody wants it or they want it along with a bunch of other stuff you don’t own. why has Netflix succeeded where Hulu failed?
So fast he could hit a ball up the middle and it would hit him in the ass sliding into second.
iow, i don't think HBOGO is a good model for most of the content owners
HBO already had a wealthy subscriber base and a great portfolio of shows. all they had to do was link accounts to the new service. you think CBS owns enough properties with savvy enough fans to do the same? why not just sell licenses than invest in creating a new service and take the pure profit? or why not buy a significant share of Netflix?
separate issue: how many new accounts is HBO getting from their service? how many people do have cable, like HBO shows but don’t have HBO?

indeed!
Wenger seems to have hinted at putting him in a no. 10 role behind RVP for the near term future, which I think is his best position. He seems less inclined to get bored and not give effort when he’s in the center of the pitch as opposed to out on the wings, plus I think that’s where he prefers to play.
I’m hearing Verminator is going to be fit for Chelsea, if so I’d go:
Szczesny – Santos – Per – TV5 – LK6 – Song – Arteta – Arshavin – Gervinho – RVP – TW
Depends on Rosicky fitness, Ramsey fitness, if he wants to rest Arshavin after midweek cup game, etc.

I just hit the equivalent of a walkoff homerun in my business, felt better than any win I've had in sports
One of my best clients who I have been working with at an extravagant fee percentage for over a year, has consistently received the level of service that they expect for paying that high price. They hired an internal recruiter a few months ago and he was directed from the VP of HR to work with me on a position he was having trouble filling with his own resources.
I old school recruited out of their competitor a fricking rockstar candidate by cold-calling in the company and getting a referral of a referral of a referral. I finally found their guy and they are hot to trot for him. I get a call from the internal recruiter basically insulting my fee percentage saying it was absolutely ridiculous and that he has never worked at that fee% level in his career (through a LinkedIn check he has been in the business fewer years than I) and that he wouldn’t recommend interviewing my candidate (who would add significant value over the minimal amount of cash it would take to hire him through me) unless I lowered my fee%.
I told him all the reasons why he was wrong on this and that I already had an agreement in place with the VP Executive HR Director for over a year and asked him if he would go back on an agreement his boss already negotiated. He said there was no way they would interview that candidate. I told him I had to call the VP and he said go ahead and do it, almost daring me. I have a rapport with the VP that he does not know about and she completely agreed with me and knocked that peon down a peg or two and my candidate is now moving through the interview process at my standard fee%.
This guy was trying to be a fucking hero and had no context what-so-ever of how I am perceived in the organization. The hiring manager had already expressed 100% interest in talking to my candidate. What was he going to tell the hiring manager if I didn’t acquiesce on lowering the fee%? “We can’t interview/hire him and add value to the company because I am an asshole.”? What a backwards thinking on this. The recruiter tried to say I am recruiting from the same talent pool but in reality no other recruiter would have identified this candidate at the % level he wants them to work at which is 20%. They would have posted the job and threw what ever junk they got from their postings.
STEAK. DINNER. BOOM. The most fun part of it all was calling him up and trying to smooth over our relationship so he will work with me in the future. I told him that I am flexible moving forward if you need to reduce the fee a bit for a particular position. I told him sign up all the 20%ers you want and pit them against my candidates, if it doesn’t makes sense to spend the extra coin then don’t do it. I almost told him I would send him a gift certificate for a steak dinner when the candidate gets hired. BOOM
