Why do the Olympian track and field competitors need to wear the paper tags on themselves?!? It's 2016, can't we figure out a better way, plus no other sports do it. Someone please educate me. 🇺🇸

Gotta say it is fun to collect and display your tags from big competitions, also you can't feel it on your body

For the crowds...And there's likely an RF tag attached to the paper to verify start and finish times.

Pwc1 so your saying the only reason is so the competitors can hang them up after the race??

Probably for the crowds in the stadium... I agree television audience don't need it

They do it in gymnastics as well I don't get it

In a long distance, I get it - you don't need it otherwise

Technology may fail. It's also a way to clearly identify each new athlete. I was more surprised that they allow them to wear jewelry.

Write their number on their forehead. They don't work hard enough to sweat anyway...

I've been working at my company just over a year and am still waiting on my 1 year review where a raise was to be discussed (other EA got raise at 1 year review and most raises happen at yearly reviews). However, company have just changed their policy to only review salaries in Jan (change came in after my year mark). I'm having a lot of trouble pinning my manager down for my annual review to even discuss my performance, let alone the raise. Feeling the undervalued (and now underpaid):

I’ve done PI work my entire career for over 10 years. I’ve worked in state and federal courts and I’ve traveled around the country doing MDL work and bellwether trials. I’ve had a lot of success making the idiots I’ve worked for wealthy, but I’m still waiting for a moment where I enjoy what I’m doing. I feel stuck working in dysfunctional plaintiff firms/cultures. I hate this profession/career more and more each year. Has anybody been successful breaking off on their own in recent years? Advice?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree.

It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
