    In all seriousness though, OP you do need to talk to them about whatever money they owe you for a signing bonus, if it's in company policy to give them out.

    I mean.........is a sign on bonus that serious? It ain't like you're getting it in a lump sum. Besides, the time to talk about it was when you agreed to be regional, back in the spring. If you think you're going to be there long haul, then yeah. If you're thinking of leaving, then no.

    I've said I'll never go otr but if blackjack and hookers are company paid that might be a game changer!

    this is true, some people may think they get that in a lump sum, rather than maybe quarterly over x amount of time.

    Mods, why did you delete my post? How was that trolling? It was playful banter. So we can talk about hookers in this thread, but not participation trophies?

    Ok.

    This must be a boomer thing. Being offended by a mention of a trophy, good Lord.

    If you don't like the way the staff moderates this forum you're more than welcome to find yourself another place to be.
    As a matter of fact, we'd encourage it.

    Did I say that I didn't like the way the "staff" moderates the forum? No, I did not.

    I asked why a post about a trophy was called trolling and deleted, when posts about gambling and hookers were not.

    And you did not answer that question.

    This thread is a playful thread (we are all joking in it) and you or some other mod got butthurt because I mentioned a new, bright shiny trophy.

    Like dude, it's not that serious, Lol.
