Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 2759097, member: 44"] Sigh. Do I actually bother with your nonsense posts? You fired off two of them so I'll take a shot. First, spare me the Cesspool name calling stupidity and red herrings. Even there, it has long ago gotten tired and served as a substitute to intelligent discussion. Please don't spread the mess you created down there to the main boards. So I don't know if you do any hiring or interviewing for high managerial or professional positions. One of the things that gets looked at is the relationship with the former employer and the level of professionalism with which you left your prior position. That will be a problem for Ollie especially if he makes good on his scorched earth tactics promise. That may not be an issue in most union disputes, but it is for someone who will be a public face for the university. If you don't believe that, that's fine, but that's the way things work. Absolutely Ollie should fight for as much as he can get, but there are ways to that in which everyone makes nice and shakes hands at the end. That's usually the best choice. In this case every day Ollie spends threaten to smear Calhoun, Geno and others is decreases the value of an agreed settlement. That's a business decision, and one that I think KO is misplaying. I suspect that that thought has occurred to his non-union representation (who has a very good employment law reputation by the way) and that's why we saw they included a make nice statement from Ollie with their posturing response. I think we will see a settlement prior to arbitration because Ollie will lose in arbitration, so he has maximum leverage now. Just a hunch. Did that help explain my thought process? [/QUOTE]
