CELTICS 2010

well yeah actual implementation is a different story but policy is useful as a mechanism for helping to ensure that the work environment doesn't backslide to 1963 due to offensive, harassing, or coercive behavior

i think we can all generally support anti mad men office policies, but corporate hr also includes rules like getting a formal warning for using the bathroom without management approval

m bison asleep on the job as we discuss this subject… suspicious

we need to hear from the authoritarian left on this

^^^
A 2022 workplace without such policies would be a cesspool.

idk about all that, maybe in finance

ultimately the rules are designed to protect the corporations not the humans, which ends up showing in a lot of their flaws

and obviously the power dynamics that allow people to harm others in those situations are created and fostered by the corporations

i mean robert sarver is 60 years old so its prob fair to assume he broke hr rules for decades without censure, because they werent for him

and ime's statement for the record

NEW: Statement from Celtics coach Ime Udoka pic.twitter.com/MFutFx7c3l

seems super unlikely hell ever be back with the team year suspension is prob just to give the lawyers time to sort out the details

agreed, this is about working out a separation

some wild rumors on twitter about what happened but idk im sure well get the details before long

alex cora did come back to the red sox after a year suspension but that was from the league not the team. so did sean payton but again same thing

and obv those were on-field rules things, not this bullshit

iirc the red sox fired cora before the league suspended him, but that whole situation was weird, seemed very planned out

not this bullshit

I think I'll wait to see how many more shoes drop before calling bullshit.

i think you misunderstand me or maybe you just didn't read back far enough

Just smashed my TV in front of 25 guests at my sons birthday party because of the Celtics. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at her mom’s house. This team has ruined my marriage. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye, I am no longer a fan. pic.twitter.com/HuweKOPvss

lagoon it’s ok

the 26th guest was his mamba mentality

some guys get so emotional about having a tv I swear

Whew, boy. https://t.co/w7s7Wf3Hmr pic.twitter.com/IykkxOVHFa

surely there can't be a vulnerable woman trapped under all this? no, it must be corporate hr virtue signalling

its looking like what happened was udoka and a woman on staff were having an affair management found out and asked them to stop which they agreed to but then udoka didnt want it to stop he was hounding her to stay with him so she went back to management to complain, which if true obviously hes a dumbass who was given a chance to rectified an error in judgement but instead decided to make it worse

its also out there that shes married to a celtics vp, which is just uh wildly reckless lol

i did a little poking around and i don’t believe that part is true

well at least theres that

a little poking around started this mess

ayye

Matt Barnes on the situation with ime. He was told what happened and it sounds like it’s pretty bad. pic.twitter.com/PnMZzR2WsW

Yikes

Doesn’t sound like he’s coming back

holy shit I didn't know he was with Nia Long

ESPN Sources: The law firm probe into Celtics coach Ime Udoka found crude language in his dialogue w/ a female subordinate prior to start of an improper workplace relationship, an element that significantly factored into severity of a one-year suspension: https://t.co/vjRArDWGZR

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) September 30, 2022

the word “consensual” no longer being used here…

Those investigative findings – described as verbiage on Udoka’s part that was deemed especially concerning coming from a workplace superior – contribute to what is likely a difficult pathway back to his reinstatement as Celtics coach in 2023, sources told ESPN.

the Cs could fire him any time, if they don't mind paying out on his contract. if they need to fire him 'for cause' and back out of the contract, they need to get all their facts lined up in case udoka sues.

have no idea what a crude remark is

otoh, I could come up with five imaginary examples in less than five minutes.

If you're going to suspend him for an entire year, I think you just fire him, no?

seems like this is only headed in one direction. not sure why the celtics won’t just go ahead and fire him at this point

― J0rdan S., Friday, September 30, 2022 5:37 PM (four hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

for the same reasons that have been true for the past week, they can't disclose what happened and are trying to let things cool down and come to a financial settlement before making it permanent.

the woj coverage of this story is so poisoned at this point, like obviously they had to give him something negative about ime for credability purposes but in no way is this about a "crude remark"

is there early any scuttlebutt about a permanent replacement assuming ime is dropped

idk i mean sports franchises fire coaches with 3+ years left on the contract all the time, im not sure how this is different. the celtics could afford to pay him whatever he’s owed so everyone can be done with this. this whole protracted news cycle to save a few million dollars firing him “for cause” feels cheapskatey if that’s really what’s going on

it's different because for even suspending him half of basketball media accused the celtics of looking for an excuse to engage in some racism
