Unless they mean it is seasonal or short term, in what world is a 30-40 hour work week part time? Pretty sure legally averaging 35 hours is considered full time.
Ok Perry Mason
And that attitude is why employers think the already weak labor laws in this country are just suggestions and a license to treat workers like garbage.
Was Perry Mason good at math?
Unless I’m wrong and things have changed, you’re considered “part time” if your job description entails less than a 40 hour week
You are wrong. At least you would be in my state. Averaging 32 hours a week is full time here.
At retail jobs anything less than 32hrs is considered part-time, but there are workers working 37-40hrs considered part-time. It’s a way they don’t have to pay for full benefits and keep you at the maximum hours.
I think it’s actually 28 now
why do you post these here? The people who browse this site (including myself) are clowns
W/ that logic.. Is it not a little strange, as to why you are here?
He admitted being a clown. And by expecting a clown to use logic, maybe that makes you one too.
He actually said we are clowns. But, maybe that’s too much logic for you.
Why are you arguing with this clown? You are supposed to be working on your act. Let’s go, people. More clowning, less caring what each other believes.
Wait til that job posting for a clown to entertain at a mlb stadium comes in.
I’m a college student majoring in Sport Management. While most of these postings require a bachelor’s degree, they’re pretty helpful to me so I know what to study, or take classes in. Many of the baseball operations and baseball analytics job openings (some of which are posted on here) require some knowledge of a coding language, which is why I’m taking a coding/programming class right now.
I agree, I like the postings.
Healthcare Management this way. Good luck on your journey
good luck mlb1225!
You are planning to work in MLB, aren’t you @mlb1225?
Man, you gotta drop us a line once in awhile after you’ve been hired by a team. We’re probably posting with the Pirates 2032 GM, fellas. Fangraphs has job postings too. Fyi.
Yeah, I frequent them as well. Dream job is to be an MLB GM, doesn’t matter where. Ovbisously would love the Pirates, but there are only 30 total spots in the world in that position. Doesn’t mean I’m not gonna try. Though I’m definitly going to work in pro baseball after college.
Love it.
What a great goal. What a great dream, man. Enjoy the ride wherever it takes you. Sounds like a pretty interesting one.
Thanks for posting this. And I SUPPORT THE OWNERS.
They don’t know or care that you exist.
forwhomjoshbelltolled – Are you implying the players DO know or care that we exist?
Who said that?
I would find someone who went around screaming “I SUPPORT THE PLAYERS” in random places to be odd, as well. But, at least you could argue they are used to rooting for baseball PLAYERS.
Not sure what the motivation to do the same for the owners is beyond just being a special kind of boot licker.
Are you claiming the Players and their union care that you exist? If so, THAT would be breakung news!!!!
You blindly support the owners? Pretty sure both groups have valid gripes.
I mean I don’t know how employers who are constantly doing everything in their power to prohibit their employees from making money and playing in the big leagues can garner any kind of support, but you do you I guess
Entry level salary of more than 3X the level of an average doctor who has been working for years and years to hit and throw and catch a ball and run around in circles for 7-8 months per year and lifetime benefits after 6 weeks on a MLB roster. 2 years of MLB minimum is already more than the average person earns in a lifetime and the already superb entry level pay quickly increases dramatically with good (doesn’t even have to be great) performance and many of them receive huge bonuses before playing their 1st professional game at any level. Tired of the greed and tone deafness of the “players” and couldn’t care less about their complaints.
Do you realize how much the owners make? The greed goes both ways.
Yes, but the players are the ones creating a public issue and I just couldn’t care less about millionaires who play a game with a ball for a living demanding even more money. They are extremely well compensated for playing a game with a ball for a living. I don’t care if salaries “haven’t kept up” with revenues. The players are ultimately the reason why the season will very likely be delayed or completely cancelled, that’s more or less why I side with the OWNERS.
So, point taken: the players are compensated far above what most of us will see in our lifetimes. If you think about whatever your job is, though, wouldn’t *you* care if salaries haven’t kept up with revenues in your business? If business was good and doing better year over year, but you didn’t see any more of that money even though your work was a big part of bringing it into the business?
Idk, I’m frustrated by the situation but I can’t get behind the owners at all. If you think the players are well-compensated… ownership is doing pretty damn well, too.
Right, the OWNERS are also extremely well compensated- better than the players- but they are the business OWNERS, afterall. I would care but it’s a vastly different situation than millionaires who make money for playing a game with a ball 7-8 months per year demanding even more money. And my job wouldn’t be based on public entertainment, so the dispute wouldn’t affect fans. I don’t think salaries need to always keep up with revenues, especially when you are referring to people with an average salary in the millions of dollars per year (average salary of more than $4 million!). The rich millionaire players are tone deaf and greedy and ungrateful and I couldn’t care less about their complaints. And considering the average MLB player low IQ level, they would probably be averaging around $35,000 per year if it weren’t for baseball.
I suppose we’ll agree to strongly disagree.
If that was the case, no one would work at McDonalds or Walmart. You have to accept the hand given to you in life. If players don’t want to play, for said terms, that’s completely understandable.
But the union acting like martyr, especially in the entertainment industry, is hard for me to justify. Let the individuals make the decision to the terms on hand. JMO
I don’t see any martyrdom. I see a union that represents the unusual combination of the workers and the he product trying to recapture some of the wages they’ve lost in negotiations over the last 15 years or so.
“You have to accept the hand given to you in life” No, you don’t. Child labor laws didn’t used to exist, a healthy work environment used to be uncommon, players used to be stuck with their team due to the reserve clause. But sometimes people stand up for themselves to improve their lives. It’s a viable option.
What product has been lost? What wages have been lost? These individuals agreed to the condition of employment.
Child labor laws??
Okay umm, where to begin.. No one is forcing these grown men to put on a mitt & play a game. Plenty of jobs in retail, food industry, and maintenance jobs behind the scenes of the game.
This isn’t the police officers and essential workers. Literally, no one needs them.
They can freely play at a park and find other means to support themselves. They can form their own league. They can do whatever they want. So, maybe ask yourself “why aren’t they?”
They are not enslaved to anyone.
Well, the owners need players to have a league. And if you think replacement players can do that job, it didn’t work in 1995, so I don’t expect it would work now.
MLB also has an antitrust exemption that makes it much more difficult for competing leagues to be created.
The MLBPA what’s the best deal possible for the players. Why is that so difficult to understand?
I was too young to recall any of that. However, I read they had a season of replacement players in 1995. Who did it not work out for? I understand, pretty easily, the MLBPA is the best scenario for SOME players; never said it wasn’t/was for others.
It didn’t work for a few reasons. Baltimore owner Peter Angelo’s made a lot of his money as a labor lawyer, so he wouldn’t use replacements. Toronto wouldn’t because of Canadian law didn’t allow it. And when spring training started with some teams using replacements, it was quite obvious the talent level was much worse.
Yes, but they still showed up and played. I respectfully do not understand the argument.
What I’m getting at is, it gave an opportunity and wage for players who wanted to be there and agreed to be there.
It was a great experience for them, no doubt.
The MLBPA players want to play. They just don’t think the offers from MLB have been acceptable. Both sides need each other, so they’ll eventually agree to a deal.
We’ll see.. someone will surely jump on the opportunity of a lifetime. Union or not.
The teams could try replacements, but fans want to see the best of the best.
Better negotiate a contract instead of hourly wage, in case the season doesn’t happen.
Does it have a start date? Mid-April? May?
2024, hopefully. Hopefully not before then. Time for the OWNERS to play hardball with MLBPeeA
I found a few more openings:
Obstruction technician:
Duties include:
– Inventing reasons to not negotiate with the players’ association
– inventing proposals that players will never agree to
– coming up with ways to offer things that players would love, then offset them with others that they hate that save owners money
Delay technician
Duties include
– formulating a strategy that leads to an impasse in CBA negotiations
– formulating a strategy that will allow MLB to claim an impasse even when there is none
– writing letters to the fans explaining how a six week delay will spur negotiations
– Thinking up even more draconian penalties to punish owners who spend too much on player salaries
Tank engineer
Duties include
– Preparing and distributing a manual advising club owners how to not spend on player salaries
– Making excuses for not spending on salaries and panning it off as a winning strategy
– Designing a draft lottery that has absolutely minimal impact on the biggest losers
– Inventing losses that never existed to make excuses for not spending on player salaries
– Finding methods to convince fans that MLB owners are suffering amidst soaring revenues
Salary will be commensurate with games played
Benefits are negotiable
No arbitration
I believe the MLB wanted federal mediation, and the MLBPA declined. Teams are still signing minor league players.. players are still signing MiLB contracts.
I used to shoot camera for horse racing and the stewards looked at the replay.. These are seasonal positions. I wonders if its in NY or in a production truck. One would usually get the feed from the cameras and send it to replay. Probably all computerized now. If they are hiring, I wonder if there is an actual mlb season to work.
I was wanting a gig more along the lines of team owner.
Work crazy hours for minimum wage because it’s the prestigious “MLB”? Thanks, but no thanks.
Yes! Instead let’s waste precious and paid for time, watching the prestigious “MLB!” You’re welcome MLB!
That’ll show those smelly rascals.
