Deemer: Murd, we live in a world that has podcasts, and those podcasts have to be hosted by geeks with comics. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Pants? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Gallagher, and you curse CGS. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Gallagher's firing, while tragic, probably increased sponsorships. And my appearances, while infrequent and rare to you, increases downloads. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about on the forum, you want me on this podcast, you need me on this podcast. We use words like floppy, trade paperback, Hardcover. We use these words as the backbone of a podcast spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very podcast that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it.

I'm thinking pretty much every Tom Cruise movie would be improved if Murd was put in place of Tom.
not just his movies, but probably his marriages, too.
The number of Facebook friends has been increasing. I also received three comics job offers today. There has been so much love and positivity. The haters aren't hating like usual. Must be off partying.
Maybe Deemer could kick me off again when I get these books done?
In HR matters, the terminated employee gets to know the reasons they were terminated. One can view their employee file as well. Terminating a friend? Not so much.
I've never heard of terminated employees getting to review their personnel files. Interesting. I have always been told employees have no rights with regard to their own personnel files. I get complete access to employee personnel files (except anything medical) when I am conducting an investigation because they are the property of the company, not the employee. That's why I do not need the employee's permission to review and get copies of it.
Some of the things I have found in files would not be good for an employee to see.
Really disappointed to see Mike go. I really enjoyed his unique and very knowledgeable viewpoint along his great personality he brought to the show. I thought he was also pretty committed to the show too, submitting his top 5s and pick of the month for previews even while not being able to make a show and being the most active host on the forum.
Good luck to you Mike and your projects in the comic world. I hope to hear you on some of the other podcasts I listen to and I'll be on the lookout for comics you work on!
agreed. Mike is/was BY FAR the most active host on the forums. Made me feel a bit like he was one of us.
Gabba! Gabba! We accept you! We accept you! One of us!
I'm not exiting the van until they force it! It was my intention to be accessible. Thanks for the kind words!
Wasn't there a story about Deemer trying to get a job at Marvel?
He applied for this job like everyone else. It was not a, "I'm a podcaster, give me the job!" moment at all. Although I'm sure it was on his résumé, because it is relevant experience.

In my experience in management an employee could view their file anytime they wanted but it could not leave the building because it is company property.

A quick google search tells me that it varies by state and in Pennsylvania, Mike is indeed correct.
Pennsylvania
43 Pa. Cons. Stat. Ann. §§ 1321 to 1324
Employers affected: All.
Employee access to records: Employer must allow employee to inspect personnel record at reasonable times.

Employer may require the use of a form as well as a written indication of the parts of the record employee wants to inspect or the purpose of the inspection. For employee’s agent: Employee must provide signed authorization designating agent; must be for a specific date and indicate the reason for the inspection or the parts of the record the agent is authorized to inspect.
Conditions for viewing records: Employee may view records during regular business hours at the office where records are maintained, when there is enough time for employee to complete the review. Employer may require that employee or agent view records on their own time and may also require that inspection take place on the premises and in the presence of employer’s designated official.
Copying records: Employer not obligated to permit copying. Employee may take notes.
Employee’s right to insert rebuttal: The Bureau of Labor Standards, after a petition and hearing, may allow employee to place a counterstatement in the personnel file, if employee claims that the file contains an error.

It doesn't seem like you did. But it's hard for us people out here, that are not in-the-know, to know whether or not CGS is thought of as a business or not. Good point to make.

I am under the impression that any money that comes to CGS goes right back into the show. If a few of the guys make a few bucks fine by me. Are you guys trying to tell me that there are HR files kept on the geeks? I highly doubt it. CGS is a business in a sense. They have advertisers, partner with other entities (i.e. Super London Show or whatever its called), but let's not pretend that CGS is something its not (a multinational corporate enterprise making billions of dollars).

Sponsors keep the lights on & studio rented. No paychecks. There's no HR, Accounting, Loss Prevention, Janitorial, etc departments. There's no applications, handbooks, or contracts, so no need for HR files.

It's usually a safe bet that most people have no idea what their rights are so if you want to do something that would get you in trouble if they exercised those rights, you're usually fine. Heck, until I looked that up because I was curious, I had no idea that I had that legal right, but I've also never really felt the need to exercise it.
