I'm going to guess that most of them didn't walk there from Texas, though.
Texas attracted many Germans who entered through Galveston and Indianola. I suspect many also came from Russia to San Francisco and then up. It's a television drama, not a history lesson, y'all want to poke holes in shit, then talk about Yellowstone. based tv the only job more dangerous than ranching in Montana is investigating crimes for the Navy.

I probably need to rewatch episode 1 because none of their motivations make sense.
The Germans come to America for a better life. They arrive in Galveston, move up to Fort Worth, then embark on a dangerous cross country journey to Oregon to do what when they get there? They don’t know how to shoot a gun or even how to swim. Do they know how to farm? They steal from each other and don’t trust each other. Half of them are already dead. Even if their lives in Germany were shit, they were surely better off remaining in Texas and joining another German community compared to their current plan.
Captain and Thomas are helping them but is it really worth it? Captain said he just wants to see Oregon again before it’s settled and ruined. I don’t think he needed to escort a bunch of incompetent Germans there to achieve that goal unless he is desperate for money. They are lowering his own chances of arriving alive.
And since they are doing this together, perhaps Captain should train them along the way so they have some useful survival skills. Maybe teach them to use a gun or something instead of spend all your time yelling at them like misbehaving children.a simple google search will show that Germans were major immigrants to Oregon in the time period of the show

It's likely one of two things. 1) teenager fucking around 2) someone who doesn't like deer, maybe it's their scat, what they eat, ticks, they hit one w/ their car and the repair bill pissed them off something else dumb.

Looks like the median is a $350 (175/175) these days from an informal straw poll of a) talking to peers/friends who are interviewing b) asking linkedin recruiters when they send stuff and c) my own personal experience as I dipped toes in the water.
I took a call w/ a internal recruiter at a Series C shop last night and I think they are around 175K/180K on a 50/50 plan, Options. I'll talk to the Sales VP net week and get more details

Well? Anyone get any new jobs and take advantage of the wage growth/inflation pressure? What’s the new norm like out there? Seems to be a severe buyers market for tenured sales reps.
ah...no. If you are looking for a new gig, you are "good", and you are tenured...you are in the drivers seat and command the comp plan.
Ex: I have bene in my current role for over 7yrs and I accepted a new job in Dec, my employer countered with more $ and promises to make some changes for me. So I stayed. I know the prospective new employer have not filled the role and is still interested in me, to the extent that the recruiter I was working with called me last night to see if I would reconsider and started that they would pay more to get me.
The "great resignation" is a good thing if you are a qualified seller

I have not been in almost ten years and I doubt I'll ever go again. It really was "cooler" back in the day and there are other places to go if you want rustic, that being said, when i want Lux, I'll always go back to the Rosewood Mayakoba.

I've been told to never accept a counter but absolutes don't apply in every situation. Good going.
I'm just kicking the can down the road. It's bad mental health for me, but good for my kids.

I accepted an offer, gave my notice and was ready to leave for the new gig and my employer countered. I;m happy to stay as I don't want to be out there "pounding the pavement" as it were with Covid and two young kids that are not old enough to be vaxxed but I regret staying. I'm back out again as soon as I can get my kids squared away, at least I get to collect a retention bonus in July.

Never in my life has legal been involved, and my manager has always been involved, even in those cases where I'm the direct manager. HR is hit or miss in the meetings, depending on how pussified they are.
I do give credit to the HR department head who helped lay off some 1/4 of our company all the while knowing he was gone, too. I probably would have told the C-suite to pound sand, but I suppose there were incentives involved.
Both WFR/RIFs I've been a part of had Legal and HR, one a the Fortune #56 the other a smaller shop. I'm old, I've been doing what I do for over 25 YRS. Much of their participation depends on why the RIF/WFR is happening and are there items to consider like Benefits, Stock Options, Non Competes, Confidentiality, Inventions, etc.

I think layoffs should be done face-to-face, by one's immediate supervisor and perhaps their immediate supervisor as well.
typically, HR and Legal should do it and not your Manager, you can talk to them later, but the actual call or meetings should be those other departments and a different manager from your department.

Let me ask a question here… have you guys ever been through a GOOD layoff exercise?
kinda, some RIFs and WFR or whatever are executed better than others and it all depends on your severance and options in the market.

I spent $80 + at the beer shop the other day. Bought 3 Pints of BB Black Ops in cans, 2 Pints of those Bourbon Barrel Goose Islands, a couple cans of a Double NEIPA to try and a four pack of another brand of stours. didn't feel robbed.

The Sirloin Stockade at Lamar and Koenig was where you took a girl to impress her on a lunch date back in the day, if you went to McCallum.
If you didn't give a shit, you went to Scampi's Organ Palace.
Or if you were a dork like me, you played Elevator Action at the gas station at Grover and Koenig.
I call BS....it took too long to get to and eat at SS for lunch, You could have easily gone to Dan's or Pizza machine. And it you went to that Gas Station, why not the bowling alley?

Asshole in Great Hills killing deer with crossbow

This was occuring on Staten Island in 2016, the city started a $2 million effort to neuter Staten Island's male white-tailed deer population to potentially reduce the population by 10 to 30 percent. the city gave vasectomies to 78 fawns and 642 adults around the borough, a spokesman for the Parks Department said. Aside from the sterilization, the city is also using other non-lethal methods to deal with the animals including public education campaigns aimed at reducing car crashes and tick-borne illnesses. A 2014 aerial survey on parkland found 762 of the animals — up from just 24 in 2008. The most recent survey in 2016 for the entire borough found only 527 of the animals.
I don't know if they kept at it as its costly and would probably take a decade to have a significant effect on Deer population.
