Hi, I’m Matt Hamilton (u/hamscurl), I’m a Gold Medal winner and member of the USA Curling Team. This Friday, 12/03 @ 11am PST, I’ll be hanging out with our sponsor Columbia Sportswear to answer all your questions about curling, the Olympics, our gear and more. AMA!

Hello! I’m Matt Hamilton, 2018 olympic gold medalist and Olympic qualifier in 2022. I am pumped for a chance to compete with USA on my back again, not to mention to defend my gold!

I was born in Madison Wi, but grew up in a small suburb of Madison called Mcfarland. I only lived 5 minutes from the curling club so once I found this passion, it was very hard to keep me from the rink. I am married with a house now, still only 5 minutes from the club, so I can get in as much practice as I can!

I started curling in 2004 and fell in love with it. By 2008, I was a junior world champion and that’s when I realized I was good enough to compete and win. That spark fueled this drive I’ve had ever since to be the best of the best.

I’ve curled with many talented curlers over the years, but my current teammates are some of my best friends and we compliment each other very well on the ice. I am a bit outgoing so I tend to be the one to bring the hype to the team, and am happy in that role.

Some hobbies that I enjoy are: golfing, disc golf, bar league sand volleyball, hanging with my dogs, boating (on my party pontoon), fishing, roasting coffee (and drinking it), and I love Love LOVE to cook for people. I’m missing things but these are my core entertainment activities.

I am probably best known for my mustache, but also in recent years my crazy locks and tattoos. I’m an open book, ask me anything!

Fuck you Columbia Sportswear.

This company has always been shady with their fast fashion clothing. My partner has worked there for many years and was given notice the entire department at corporate was going to be off-shored to save costs. They offered my partner a demotion in order to stay on the team but they decided to work elsewhere...

That is until they offered a really great incentive package to stay on until November. Accepting the incentive to work from the intended layoff date of August until this November offered a very nice bonus. This bonus was then revoked on the LAST DAY of work due to "unacceptable performance."

So, in practice, the company laid off an entire department in order to get cheaper salaries outside the U.S., offered bonuses for some employees to stay on until November, and then revoked the bonuses at the last day of employment. This is the first my partner heard of any performance issues and has only gotten positive feedback. It is fairly transparent they are gaslighting my partner and making a desperate move to justify further cost savings by denying the bonus on the last day. The icing on the cake is that a new job was lined up when the layoff was initially going to happen but the bonus was too good to leave so early. So that opportunity is gone and the incentive to turn that offer down is gone now too.

FUCK YOU COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR. FUCK YOU AND YOUR STUPID FUCKING CLOTHES, FAKE FUCKING IMAGE AND YOUR ASSHOLE C-SUITE TEAM. SUCK A FART YOU FUCKS. AND ESPECIALLY FUCK YOU FOR TELLING MY PARTNER THIS SURPRISE AS THEY WERE TURNING IN THEIR BADGE AND MAKING THEM CRY WHILE TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEMSELVES TO YOU.

Update: Partner talked to HR who said they would get in touch to resolve. That was several hours ago and now no one will answer. We are being completely stonewalled. Today was supposed to be their last day but they are stuck at the office trying to work this out before being locked out of the company completely. The best part... they are still tasking my partner with things to do in addition to their belligerence. I am livid and feel awful there is nothing I can do to help.

Update 2: HR sent a chat back that they are presenting until the end of they day. Such convenient timing, eh?
