Our "town hall" (actually a presentation to the entire company, I guess we can ask questions via chat but it's not really *for* that as such) that was scheduled for next Monday got moved to Tuesday and then moved to the following Tuesday and that is making me nervous that they've got big news and that's probably not good. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

The NY AG announcement about the NRA is making me LOL this morning: [link]
In one new revelation, the attorney general said her investigation uncovered that LaPierre recently arranged a post-employment contract for himself with the NRA worth $17 million. He never sought board approval for the deal, the suit claims.
Can I get me one of them post-employment contracts?

It is news to me that the NRA is a charitable organization. I just never thought about it, I guess. I am THRILLED they are getting taken down

I can't read because paywall, but is this "I will stop working and you will pay me this amount even though I've stopped working"?

I don't think so, Dana, I think it's "when I stop working for the government you'll pay me"
