OT: MSU Spartans Presented by Rocket Mortgage

[NJCat]

I wonder how long it will be until collage masketball teams have ads on their jerseys like European soccer teams. I can imagine "Northwestern Wildcats Presented by the PM Club"........

In related news, NCAA will now allow basketball-playing employees (cough, I mean “student-athletes”) to put two levels of schmear on their bagels).

I'm sad to see this. Quicken is a cult.

Don't tell this to Detroiters, Dan Gilbert owns half of the downtown.

I lived in the area for 3 years when he had relocated Quicken Loans to downtown. He was revered as a God for being such a supporter of the revival of the area.

I work (in theory) downtown at one of the few buildings not owned by Gilbert. He’s done a lot for Detroit, including writing a big check for some of the city’s most distinctive public art.

But I’ve interviewed at Quicken as have other people I know. Company culture is one thing, but man, when you pay people so little and expect such long hours, and HR monitors and reprimands people for not using Quicken-approved phrasing, you tell me what that sounds like.

As someone who has traveled to Detroit extensively over the past 30 years the change is quite amazing. While I live in Chicago my office is in ADC. Pre-COVID I would make 6-7 trips/year. Walking around downtown Detroit is now a lot of fun (bars/restaurants). Some of my coworkers actually live downtown.

I had a friend who was a "team leader" at Quicken. Worked weekends, worked nights, very much boiler room environment

My personal experience with Quicken as a prospective customer was awful. A total production line.

People like that should be put in a corner and slapped.

Nice new housing downtown that’s pricey but not outrageous, good restaurants and bars, all the major sports right there, but what miss most about working downtown is my octogenarian barber who immigrated from Italy and has been working out of the Chrysler House since the 1950

"The MSU Spartans presented by Rocket Mortgage" blows, but is there a cooler name in the Big Ten than Rocket Watts?
