You realize there is a difference in the responsibilities of the President of BUSINESS Operations and the President of BASEBALL Operations, right? Catie's job duties had a lot more to do with HR, Payroll, Sales, Marketing, the price of garlic fries, etc... than when to lay down a bunt or trade for a player.
And the hiring of M's manager, trades, etc, unless it's the VP who does that
Owner, Ceo is 1. At top of M's, then 2. Is president Catie Then 3. VP, then 4. The M's General Manager Scott Servais, then whatever position I think Dipoto had. then Scouts, then coaching staff, etc.
Buck gets passed from Dipoto, Scott Servais, then VP, then Catie the President, then CEO, then if somebody above CEO, then M's ownership group, where buck ultimately stops at CEO, ownership group.
Maybe Dipoto is president of operations, and some teams have 2 president's, one like Catie, and president of operations, whoever hired Scott, Dipoto, etc.
Having trouble thinking as STA buses almost caused me to die of heat stroke today, because of office lady, and bus stop sign 4351, that apparently is outdated, but didn't say like sacred hearts bus stop that actually says out of service. Unless the stops say that, then buses supposed stop there.
I had to wait 4 to 7 minutes for the 328 ride thing auto message to do it's spiel, and then office lady then asked me for stop 4351 number on the sign number that I read 6 times to the lady. Then lady directed me to walk to Yokes in Airway heights, where at that stop drive right on by me. Luckily for me 2nd bus was 9 minutes behind that buss, and then another was late about 17 minutes causing me to miss DOT bus taking back home. Luckily for me a friend talked to me, tried lyft, Uber, then took bus back to Airway heights where friend offered me a ride home back to Davenport.
I had to walk to bus plaza, and almost didn't make it back to bus plaza. Offered $10 for somebody to help me walk back to bus plaza, and the person who helped me back was a homeless person that needed the $10 I offered to them for help getting to food and shelter. STA management and a cop at bus plaza almost didn't take verbal report complaint, because they wanted me to spend 90 minutes doung a written report instead of doing verbal report.
Cop finally agreed to look the sign 4351 to verify my verbal report.
Several disabled bus passengers said similar things happened to them, that almost caused them to die in heat.
So I told bus manager that I will be talking to a newspaper reporter about what happened. Not to focus on me, but to try to help the people who have gone thru similar.
All because STA thought it would be nice to spend 100 million on a nice water fountain, has 5 to 7
thing and 2 Cougar statue, the cats, not football team, and 1 escalator, and then 4 to 7 spent 100 million take the fountain and Cougar statues out instead of more buses, more bus routes, more drivers, better training of STA management, and instead of removing out of service bus stop signs like stop 4351, that did not say anything on the sign about being out of service. Also 328 ride thing has 5 to 7 minute auto message.
Lot of people can run STA better the STA management. Which is probably why homeowners in Spokane keep voting no to fix STA funding problem issues.
About 3,4,5,6 STA overall bus system things went wrong. And only about a 1% chance that all those things would go wrong today.
Fortunately for me, and the homeless person who helped save me by walking back to bus stop, a lot if nice people helped me, and the homeless person who helped me.
LONG STORY.
