@Dave_Schwartz Agree 100%. He left a ball up and gave up a solo homer. Let him work.

[Dave Folkens @dfolkens]

@AmyHockert @BallySportsNOR He's a young star in the making....he wanted to finish this. Brutal.

[Dave Folkens @dfolkens]

Justified. Let him throw.

Great article. As we seemingly get even more cynical, how do companies adjust?

Honestly, the brilliant Peter Gibbons of Office Space is the model for quiet quitting....back in 1999.

[Dave Folkens @dfolkens]

Quiet quitting is not a new trend, it has existed and is a function of engagement. If someone doesn't feel valued, they check out. You give more when you care about the job or mission. It's sad that some only pay attention when it's got a new title.

@chuckhemann @kmskala @sonnygill @arikhanson Very fair point on the pick quality.

[Dave Folkens @dfolkens]

@sonnygill @chuckhemann @arikhanson @kmskala I don't know how I feel on this. I like the idea of a defensive force there, as KAT isn't that, but man that's a lot of first round picks. Maybe they figure they'll be broke anyway with KAT and ANT contracts so don't need youth.

Bill Murray talks about the painting that stopped him from committing suicide after being asked if there were a moment how art has made a difference in his life. Watch til the end to see the painting.
