tenthreeleader Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 It's worse. They talked about a pre-employment bonus, health insurance and my first week duties. I was lied to.

Balthazars Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Damn, that's an awful kick in the guts 10-3, especially right before Christmas! Sorry to hear it buddy, but as Salk said above, it's probably for the best if that's how they treat people they're probably not going to be great employers in the long run. Hope you find something else soon mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenthreeleader Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Well, let's put it this way. Read "Rat Pack" and remember what Adrian Levant does for a living. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edtheguy Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I can only echo what others have already said, that is total crap. Hopefully things turn around soon and this is just the dark before the dawn. I've been there and I know how frustrating it can be. Well, let's put it this way. Read "Rat Pack" and remember what Adrian Levant does for a living. Interesting, but I try never to think of Mr. Levant or any other attorney - especially the Hollywood ones...that does remind me though, I need to restock my fridge again - that Villa/Reading halftime is stretching out....

mistahc Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 ah 10-3, that's a truly awful way to treat someone. Was the contract signed? If so, surely some compensation is due? Easier said than done, but try and put it to the back of your mind so you enjoy yourself. Merry Christmas to you and your family. And I extend that to the FMS family too; hope you guys all have a fab festive period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenthreeleader Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I did not sign a written contract but my attorney says there doesn't necessarily need to be one if I can prove the conversations occurred. And thanks to the wonderful invention known as e-mail, I certainly can. Value was offered and accepted. I don't want to be a downer but I have absolutely zero Christmas cheer thanks to these people and they're going to have to get out their checkbooks.

tenthreeleader Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Van Gaal won't resign after this match and Martin Atkinson missing at least one penalty will give his defenders a claim that United should have won, which is not an unfair assumption in my eyes.

salkster2102 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Happy New Year everyone! I'm thinking of getting FM16. Didn't really get into the last few games but i've heard a few good things about this one. Don't know what any of the new features are. It worth getting?

tenthreeleader Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Well, at least there was a Wayne Rooney sighting today. Great goal from him. And this from BBC 5 Live's Twitter: The half-time scores in #MUFC's last 9 home games: 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-1, 0-0, 0-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Manchester United sure are entertaining to watch! I bought FM16 on Boxing Day, mainly for editing purposes, but I am literally just about to start my first save game. I enjoyed playing the demo (even if I did make a total hash of managing Fulham ), and I'd say that it's almost certainly the best FM yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenArsenal Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I started a game with Arsenal but I've barely gotten past August in-game. There's just so much to do and deal with compared to the last FM I played (12 I think). Slowly getting in the groove though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenthreeleader Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Okay, so I have a game question for you folks who save highlights. After about fifteen years of playing the game and a couple of years playing where it is possible to record a highlight, I finally have a goal I want to keep from my Oxford FM15 save. So I go to the highlights and hit "record". Where does the video go? Please and thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 If you have already exported the highlight to video: My Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 20xx > uploads If you haven't, I think you go to the 'Upload Highlights' page on the match screen, find the highlight you recorded, select your camera angle, and then export from there.

tenthreeleader Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 It worked. Very cool. Something I've never tried before in the game. Thanks! BTW for those of you who are watching the NFL playoffs today, my Minnesota Vikings kick off in two hours. Game time temperature is expected to be -19C, wind chill -28C. Glad I'm watching on TV - and this is why we do not play real football in the winter in my part of the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Oh dear, 10-3! What has just happened to your Vikings? I only watched the final quarter, but that was some choke from Minnesota. That final field goal attempt was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenthreeleader Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 It is classic Vikings. We always find a way to choke in the clutch. However, as a man who has watched every Vikings game since 1970, I am definitely NOT laughing at the final field goal attempt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenArsenal Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Off football for a bit, but pretty stunned at news of David Bowie's death. Thought it was a hoax initially. I'm probably too young for most of his work, but he is still a musical legend nonetheless. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'd only just woken up when I read the news, and it really knocked me for six. David Bowie really was a legend of music. I can't think of another British musician who has had such a long career and undergone so many transformations, yet still put out excellent music on a regular basis. It's not until you listen to all the hits he had, though, that you realise just how vast his catalogue is. I'm also too young to remember Bowie's heyday, but I like a lot of the stuff he released - from the Ziggy Stardust era through to Heroes (which I incorporated into the intro for my Euro 2020 story), the Let's Dance album, and even his more recent stuff. He released his final album just a few days ago, and it's the perfect epitaph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
