Independant Contractors or Employees, Sometimes you Save, But Not Always

There are star independent contractors and wage employees that make up the spine of the workforce in America. When is it appropriate to say "come on board" or "go your own way" to workers?

There are so many details in the daily workforce, that I'm afraid we often lose sight of the task at hand. Everyone seems to be treating their daily coffee and commute as an expense they have to write off. But that's not the focus of this Blog Post. What we're discussing is when it's appropriate to give employees a gig or hire an independent contractor.

The de facto rule is that everyone is out for themselves. But that's not always the case when you have a job that requires teamwork. And how do teams and individuals interact within an organization? In recent years the trend has been to give individual accountability to workers while tracking their progress through the company. This is fine for a job that requires a linear progression going from point A to point B. When a job is varied requiring countless variables to function. The question is "what can I do?" instead of "how far can I get?"

Generally you're told to follow the money. Let the market decide whether it makes sense to hire a contractor or employee. I contend that this can be used when the decision to hire out is very close. Yet often the task at hand calls for a certain level of finesse. Certain decisions work better in an employee, employer relationship and certain decisions work better in a contractor situation.

Ultimately you want to take care of your star employees whether they are contractors or employees.

Parallax Getting Better for Vision

I've had terrible parallax with my vision, blurry vision, and numbness in my head. But this bout of warm weather we're having seems to help. I was outside tanning for about an hour, and I'm feeling much better. I'm sure I'll go out tanning again, but have to wait until the neighbors are done with their yard work, so the dogs won't bark. I'm not quite sure how eyes can feel like they've moved on your head, but it's a real phenomenon.  I open 1 eye, then the other, and still experience parallax, or lack thereof, and it concerns me. I don't think these symptoms are typical of Bipolar Depression, but the doctors seem to think so.

I do think it is a poor excuse for fracturing, or the process of breaking dogs so to speak. Frankly, I'm not sure what my family could be doing with my poor habits anyways, but I guess if you break a poor habit that's only 2 strikes and you still have life. At least that's what I tell myself. Now whether you have the time to read this drivel is another story. But if you do have time to read this drivel then click on the advertising so David gets paid.

They Shouldn't Nerf Lodestone Golem and Workshop Decks

Workshop is the saving grace of Vintage. Why would you nerf a deck that actually casts creatures to the battlefield? Creature combat is what's lacking in Vintage. Workshop is already slower than other decks, it doesn't need to be nerfed. I understand that Lodestone Golem is an advantageous card, but so are 3 dozen other Vintage cards. Remember it costs 4 to cast...that's an expensive creature...even with Mishra's Workshop. Try making faster creatures and counters instead of nerfing existing decks.
