Let's be real, the first two days of your new job are the two days you work the hardest to make a good impression on everyone - even if those two days are the ONLY days you pretend to care you still do it because you need the job and you care at least a little about endeering yourself enough not to get fired for a month or two.


If you've ever had a job where you didn't show up for the first day... and then didn't show up for the second day... please respond and tell us how it worked out.

Early in my career working for the government I overslept two days in a row. I was embarrassed and devastated that this could happen. I got like 9 alarm clocks and never that I can remember it happening again in 30 years. I was scared straight that I could not lose my job. I retired from that job. It all worked out but I was terrified. Hopefully the same will happen with RW.

The NBA is not a normal job and most people don't begin their careers at age 20.  There are plenty of irresponsible and immature 20 year olds who mess up at their jobs by calling out sick or showing up late.  Most of those people eventually mature and get their acts together.  The Celtics and his agent will do their best to help, support few people have.

Most 20 year olds also don't get paid 7 figure salaries. If they did, the certainly would not show up late or miss work the first week.
I worked at McDonald’s when I was 16 and was never late.  Being 20 is not an excuse. The kids embarrassing himself.  Let’s hope it’s not a a sign of things to come.

I started a new job today.  Reckon I will let you know tomorrow afternoon, especially if everyone keeps bickering in here and papa bear can't sleep.

Looks far more athletic than I remember in college.

Well, in fairness it's more like he missed the first day, came in for some photo ops on the second day while saying all the right things, and missed the third day.

Definitely bad optics here, at the very least.  Hope he goes overboard now and works his tail off. I wanna see him on Friday in SL before I judge further.

My guess is he will play but won’t start and probably won’t see minutes until 2nd quarter at the earliest. That will be his punishment.

Looking forward to seeing some games. I remember watching Jaylen show signs of what he’d been working on. Be nice to see Yabu, Semi, or Williams show us something this summer.

See? Baby steps!  ;D
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

I was gonna mention how lazy and shiftless that Williams appears to be - but someone would probably take offense at such a remark.
