Best of luck Blondie, You were one of my favorites, never mean, never condescending. Through all the madness, all the nutcase mods, all the kook posters, you were a lone voice of sanity and a stable connection to the "real world". The classy way you're going out speaks volumes, this place will be worse off without you.

Re: Good Morning and Goodbye EOG

I only resurfaced recently here at EOG considering I had and still have some more primary responsibilities at my home forums, even when in the past things here seemingly had a similar direction and were even more populated featuring worlds more traffic. However when the name Blondie comes to mind in the forum world she stands for dedication, longevity, and a first class mod in the handicapping and sports industry. Hope all of your future endeavors share similar success and best of luck to you.

Go ask a dozen other random forums across the net if message board moderators should get paid enough to be able to support a family on their moderator salary alone and you'll get laughed off the board.

I'm sorry, that's just the way it is.

I'm sure you put in time here, but guess what, a lot of us do. I also put in a lot of time on my shitter but that doesn't mean I expect my plumber to pay me well for it. I'm not trying to rip on you at all, Blondie, just the general attitude that pervades these very unique gambling forums. The expectations that everybody ought to get paid for being a part of the e-community here shows just how degenerate most of the posters here are.

If keeping drunk Teddy from telling a noob that he's going to fuck him in the ass is how one derives their primary income, my recommendation is to not make any big purchases on credit...

Would you just shut the fuck up for once in your life? We know you love to act like a big shot around here, but no one gives a fuck. It was her job clown, understand? I didn't always get along with Blondie - I did some pretty immature and douchey things to her - but that doesn't mean I'm some cock sucker that will take shots at her after she lost her job.

I understand that you have this idea in your head that you live the real life, and everyone else that doesn't live a life like yours isn't worthy, but you come off like an arrogant fucking douche bag every time. Maybe step down off your pedestal and come back to earth... You're no better than anyone else and your job is no more worthy.

GL Blondie and Happy Holidays to ya. I know a lot of people in your position right now, and I really feel for them. Nothing scarier than losing your job in this economy right now. Hopefully you get back on your feet quickly.

Brick, I'm not saying it's not a great gig if you can get it. Who wouldn't take money to move Teddy's threads to the asylum. I'm just saying to expect it as a long-term economic opportunity/career is not wise.

That holds true for all forum mod positions, not just Blondie. I have no ill-will toward her at all, she's a very kind person and yeah, that sucks for her she lost a great gig. My commentary is directed to the masses that think a great travesty has been committed, when the truth is that paid mods and posters are typically an exception, not the rule, and any outrage regarding this situation is misguided.

I'm guessing it's not what she did, it's what she didn't.

She didn't make EOG money. Not her fault at all, but what's a company supposed to do, pay people because they're nice people or have children?

The grand age of offshore money flow is over, people. Expecting the cash cow to continue shelling it out indefinitely is ignorant and naive.

Good luck finding a new gig, Blondie.

how the hell would you know what blondie does? You have no idea what she did or how little that she asked for. After Shrink passed, the place was in total disarray since it happened so suddenly without notice. The place needed advertisers to keep the ship sailing. blondie was the one that voluntarily took on the responsibility. When the site was down, blondie was the one in contact with tech support.

Money may define you but it doesn't define others. blondie has a full time job as a mother. Working for OGD is something that she can that enables her to be a great mother. That's more important than anything that you'll ever do and she's been successful.

Yeah, Weinke is doing a good deed by ripping into her job choice, saying it wasn't a real job, and then saying it was her fault for relying on this job in the first place. Well said Fish.

Re: Good Morning and Goodbye EOG

Like all others here - sorry to see this happen. Blondie called me last night about 8:20P CA Time to let me know about this so for me - this wasn't a shock because I was informed ahead of time.

I hope those in charge have thought this out because the work Blondie did - for the amount she was paid - was a real bargain and EOG made out very well here. We will soon see how invaluable Blondie was to this site.

As I told her when I spoke to her - if she ever needs a ride anywhere I am more than happy to do that :LMAO

Re: Good Morning and Goodbye EOG

Blondie's contributions to the EOG family never will be forgotten.

She always will be welcome back to this, her second home.

I appreciate the tremendous solidarity expressed by many EOG contributors on behalf of Blondie.

Blondie's dismissal was not an easy decision to make, but for EOG to continue to grow and eventually prosper, difficult decisions no longer could be met with procrastination.

I thank you for your continued support and patience as we work to help EOG reach new heights to the benefit of our members and sponsors alike.

Sincerely,
Mike

Mike, im not sure if you celebrate the holidays where you are from, but with such short notice of her dismissal it would be appropriate to give her a months severance pay. What a tough spot to be put in without any notice. What if she went out shopping on black friday knowing she had a job and some money to blow on presents for the kids only to find out she was canned 3 days later? Now she might have to bring back some of her kids presents. I hope you find it in yourself to make this matter right and give her some kind of bonus.

How quickly some people forget in todays "what have you done for me lately" world. When Ken passed the one person that kept this place going was Blondie. She didn't let the fact that she was devastated get in her way, she came to this place to help others heal because thats just her way.

Mr Kelly, your idiotic response should have been better thought out. Blondie has been a class act her time here, you, sir, are no Blondie.

It is just so stupid, I have to mock it.

So what do you EOG boys do at the end of a staff meeting?.The conversation around the water cooler must be something like....

"Dammit, that Blondie is stifling our creativity! How can we grow and prosper with her around?
She defintelly has to go!"

The point is, Mike, is that you have no creative edge to begin with. You are the same as everyone else offshore. Take the action until some goofball shows he might be a threat to you. Then tighten the screws on him.

Blondie is hardly the problem.

Re: Good Morning and Goodbye EOG

two firings since i have been here....which brings the question......if the people who own this gambling site really believe in it....the contests posters have been well over 60%, most of the guest picks on the radio show have held their own and the hockey picks by both esteemed handicappers have run well......if the ownership invested in their own gambling sites purpose everyone would have been given raises instead of a pink slip....

Re: Good Morning and Goodbye EOG

Blondie wrote "Goodbye EOG" in the thread title and I responded "Bye Bye Blondie."

Now I'm classless?

There's never a good time for a firing.

As I understand it, Blondie was spared an extra month to survive the Thanksgiving Day holiday.

Some EOG contributors are drawing erroneous conclusions from incomplete information.

Blondie knew about her tenuous employment situation for the better part of six months.
