Should I Be Concerned That Barstool HR Doesn't Know I Exist?

May 31st will be my two year anniversary at Barstool. Very excited, love this place. It’s been a crazy two years. I host a daily radio show with Dave Portnoy’s dad. I host a weekly golf podcast. I’ve written thousands of blogs, filled in on Barstool Radio, and shot videos everywhere from London to Scotland to Magnolia Lane with Mr. Gary Player. I used to watch the Rundown after work everyday; now I get a seat about once a week. It’s crazy.

However, to what can only be described as my surprise, our HR department reached out this week to inform me not that they’re throwing a party in my honor, but rather that they literally don’t know who the fuck I am.

I’m not a big paperwork guy but it’s probably not ideal that HR doesn’t know I exist right? Like they should know I exist. They should know if I have healthcare and dental and, most importantly, vision. Have to have vision. Need vision. I checked and sure enough I am enrolled and have been enrolled in all benefits programs. My dental even kicked in when I got an emergency root canal last August but now I’m questioning if that even happened. Did I imagine the whole thing? Have I imagined everything? Do I actually exist?

Who am I?

It’s been a weird day. Part of me feels disrespected, part of me feels not real, and part of me wonders if I could’ve just walked out of this office, disappeared, and been paid forever.

Ironically — after all that’s been said — on paper I’ve been a professional boondoggler. I was literally getting paid to not exist.

Amazing. Geaux Riggs geaux.
