I used to work in that building! Smith Tower’s elevators are still hand operated and at lunch hour, the elevators become a giant bottleneck. Getting stuck in the elevators was a regular occurrence. Other than that, it’s a beautiful building.

Thanks to Devin’s actions, the entire company has a new set of annual training that they have to go through, specific to this corrupt asshole. On top of that, they have quarterly acknowledgement of ethics training that they have conduct with their teams. And no, there’s no “culture” lingering related to Devin. Four years is a long time in company timeframes.

I worked there for ten years and I don’t think some affiliate that is only loosely connected with eBay takes its lead from eBay on unions. Prior to eBay, I was a shop steward in our Union, and I’m always looking out for that bias. I didn’t hear anything like that at eBay. So, no, it’s conjecture and contrived to sensationalize their name recognition in the story.

I don't disagree with how heinous this was, but this was two CEO's ago...nearly every VP and C-Suite leader has been replaced since then. Anyone below that level, besides the dipshits that were directly involved didn't have any idea how stupid the CEO and Physical Security team were being. There are very few leaders that remain from this time too, and none of them were in the direct leadership chain of that CEO. What you're trying to tie together at the end misses the mark of the current state of affairs at the company. This was just one isolated and very stupid thing.

In addition, TCGPlayer is an affiliate of eBay and only recently purchased by eBay. Saying that their batshit crazy stuff with the Union (and I agree that anything that they're doing to try to keep that office from unionizing is just plain stupid, in addition to being illegal) is associated with eBay is a misnomer. Sure, they're a part of eBay, but they have kept their entire leadership and operations separate from eBay operations.

This is the 108th and 4th intersection, looking from North to South. Old Expedia building on the SouthWest corner, new Amazon building on the SouthEast corner, One Bellevue Center on the NorthWest corner, looking from the City Center building on the NorthEast side. I've worked in this area for the last ten years.

What's the alternative, when that's what she's attacking in her ads? Should we take a good hard look at the perfection that Pasco is and see if we can apply that to the rest of the state? Oh wait, she's NEVER been in public office before, so we have NOTHING to compare to. Quite convenient. She's just looking to take advantage of the right and grift as much as she can off it, like her compatriots. It's transparent...but it's not going to fly in Washington. She should move to Florida or Texas...she'd fit right in.
