Okay so this is a good problem to have, don’t get me wrong. Just summertime and me speculating. But this is what we are looking at.

This seems like it would be the top 4.
Gavrikov-Fox
Durzl - Petterson

The bottom pairing gets tricky. We have Schnieder, Vaakanainen, Robertson, Fortescue, Morrow, Iorio who could all slot in at 5/6. The others you probably want playing top 2 minutes in the AHL. That’s 6 guys and 4 spots. I haven’t even put down Smits name yet. Does he come right to the NHL? Stay in Europe or maybe HE gets 25m+ a night in the AHL?

I feel like between Morrow or Schnieder, we could flip one of the two and inject it into the forward corps. Is it just me or does this defense seem like a total logjam at the moment?

Hi there and thanks for taking time to read my post! Apologies for the essay ahead of time, I feel like I’m in a bit of a unique situation here. I am currently living in the Hudson Valley, NY. We are lucky enough to have an affordable apartment for the time being, but we are getting tired of the area. Real estate in the area after COVID exploded. You would think you were 40 miles closer to NYC with the rent and home values these days. We would like to purchase a home, so my wife and I are thinking about relocating. I'm still very early on in the process, but there are so many factors to consider. I'll provide some brief detail and hopefully you folks can help me out!

For one we just had a daughter. We would like somewhere with decent schools and a state with female friendly laws to raise her in. Work; my wife and I are service/lower management employees, we are not high earners. But we haven’t had much trouble finding work when we need to. Our household income is a bit volatile year to year, but at least 70k between the two of us is a generous estimation and we live very modestly. We would probably push 100k~ if we both had full time jobs. The curveball is I recently inherited some money from a distant relative, so I will have 60k to put down on a home.

We *LOVE* the beach. So preferably something close. Not too close, I understand I can’t afford that - but those people need peasants to commute in from a few towns inland don’t they 😉😂. We aren’t totally stuck on the ocean, but it’s a big want. We also need the area to actually have work and whatnot too of course. I don’t mind a bit of a commute either if need be.

Anyway I think I rambled a bit, but please feed me your suggestions and I’ll go window shopping! Thanks again ☺️

Hi! Thanks for taking a moment to try and help me here, it’s much appreciated! Apologies if this is overload on information, I just feel like this is a unique one so I am trying to be as informative as I can.

So as mentioned in the title, my previous position was eliminated while I was on PFL/FLMA leave for the birth of my child. Sounds like it’s a restructuring, I learned this after bumping into and speaking to coworkers. My duties being divided up between department A and department B. I haven’t been laid off or heard a word officially from management/hr on anything. I’ve been getting my PFL leave pay.

I believe they want me to move into a role in department A that absorbed some of my duties. This role will only be about 30% of my old duties, mixed in with other responsibilities. I do not want this new job at all. It’s a bad fit and It will not go well. I also am nearly positive they will not honor the 8-4 I’ve had for 3 years(my wife works nights) if they mess with my shifts, i am likely going to have to quit anyway. So let me get it out there, that I’m trying to divorce this company.

Technically I was in department A, but I had a different title and role(depending on what payroll/scheduling system you’re looking at - my employer a disorganized mess). I worked 8-4, 95% of the time for 3 years. A handful of instances where I adjusted my schedule to help out with some overtime, or staying a little later occasionally. I also very rarely assisted department A in instances of being shorthanded, extremely busy times. But it was pretty set in stone what my job was there.

Additionally, I have insurance through this employer, and my wife is covered through this insurance. We delivered our baby on this insurance too.

I’m not sure what steps to take moving forward. I don’t want to have to pay back my leave pay and have any issues with insurance wanting money(child birth is $$$!). I also don’t want to take on this new role, if at all possible. If it’s a necessity for me to stick around for a bit, would there be a possible scenario I can dial back from full time to part time? Am I likely eligible for unemployment? I would have much rather just returned to my old role, than deal with this nonsense.

My return date is the end of the month. So I have time. I’m not worried about money either, I’m confident I will find work. I just want to know the steps on how to divorce from this company as soon and cleanly as possible!

Again I appreciate your insight. Feel free to reach out or comment here and I will respond asap. Thanks!
