If you heard stories about this type of thing, wouldn't you be a bit reluctant to work there? In this case, the Vikings brass reversed their decision, but it calls into account their attitudes toward players and employees, doesn't it?

Only as long as it took to find a new gig. Or longer if I couldn't...but then I'd be one unhappy employee. The Millennial generation isn't going to put up with that kind of thing. Chris – Exactly!
