My philosophy: If it ain't broke... :)) sm
I'm very happy with the existing platform, thanks! It's MT-friendly and it's clear that MTs had a say in what was/wasn't important in getting the job done.
I'm also very happy with the current compensation by KS rather than lines and/or VBC, but I have a feeling the KS will disappear with the new platform, all the better to compare us to our overseas counterparts, which seemed to be the major push of today's meeting... and I'm not sure I understand that.
Wow. So, your philosophy is, suck it up.
I certainly would not want to work with you. I have been in this business close to 30 years and when I managed nor as an MT would I ever put up with an attitude like yours. I am not cyber-bullying just IMHO you don't have to suck it up and stay anywhere, especially where death in the family is concerned. There are always other jobs, many fish in the sea, and people who treat people with respect. And now you can just suck that up.
Could not agree more with your philosophy
I don't think I need to give the name here; it should be obvious.
I REALLY struggled last holiday season with no work (well, barely any work), but I had expected that so hung in there and, sure enough, within a few weeks things picked back up. Again, at the holidays, I think all MTs expect this to happen.
That being said, when this latest round of hide-and-seek with the work, I waited it through...for a WEEK. I then went to plan B, which was a standing offer for another IC position to fill in the gaps.
By week #3 when it was still a ludicrous waste of time trying to sit 24/7 in front of the computer to get work, I went to plan C, which was to take another position to fill in the now even larger gap.
By week #4 of no work, I had plan D implented. I walked away from the uncharacteristically noncommunicative MTSO who chose to ignore the pleas of their loyal hard-working MTs and never looked back.
If they do not have the time, nor the common courtesy, to let me know what's going on and where my work has gone, I do not have time, nor can I afford, to wait for them to 'gift' me with a few token backup accounts that are also in a famine state.
I'm doing fine now...Had I tried to wait it out as so many loyal MTs are trying to do with this company, I'd have been served an eviction notice by now and living on Top Ramen to keep the utilities on.
A company is only as good as it treats its MTs...and to me this company's previously-glowing reputation is now sullied beyond repair.
Wait it out, is my philosophy. They usually hang themselves. (nm)

We are moving more into the philosophy or political categories here, but
I have always understood the ultimate goal of technology is to perform the mundane tasks, freeing up human time to pursue more pleasurable activities. The challenge is to find a way to support ourselves...how did they do it on Star Trek?
Rather than explain, do a Google on "Planetree philosophy." It's great!
