HR: We lost the new hire today.
CEO: What happened?
HR: He resigned after his first week.
CEO: That makes no sense. We doubled his previous salary.
HR: Yes, but salary was not the issue.
CEO: Then what was?
HR: You asked him why he left at exactly 5:00 p.m. And why he left the office before you did.
CEO: I was just trying to understand his mindset.
HR: He understood it clearly. He felt the company was not paying for his work, but for control over his time.
CEO: But commitment matters.
HR: So do boundaries. He finished his work, met expectations, and left on time. But instead of that being seen as professionalism, it was treated like a lack of loyalty.
CEO: People should not rush out of the office.
HR: He was not rushing out. He was simply leaving when the workday ended.
CEO: Still, it did not look right.
HR: That is exactly why he left. He realized very quickly that even with better pay, the culture expected presenteeism over performance.
CEO: That is unfortunate.
HR: Yes. We offered him double the salary, but also gave him a preview of a workplace where leaving on time becomes a character issue.
CEO: So what are you saying?
HR: If employees are judged for having boundaries, then no amount of money will make them stay.
A higher salary can attract people. But if respect for time is missing, it will not keep them.

Adam, got to watch you walk out of that tunnel in 2001! I am a ‘92 grad and season ticket holder since 2001. This is my brother Tom. He is 60 years old with Down Syndrome. I heard the words paralyzed from the neck down this week and I am desperate. Any advice?
Rest in Power

Very sad news to learn today. My deepest condolences to his family, friends and all of his fans.
In honor of George Wendt (RIP)…
A staple of the Three Rivers Stadium 🏟 DiamondVision in the 90s was this cold open from the TV show “Cheers” his character Norm started.
This was guaranteed to fire up the #Pittsburgh#Pirates fans!
