I have problems with Comcast more than I don't.

Bleh. It kicked me off of the internet entirely yesterday for hours, and so far today, it's blacked out twice. I hate them so much.

 

[PhantomCatt]

I hate you

It was a beautiful slightly cloudy 75 degrees today

I wouldn't if Turbotop would work well with Earnhoney.

Don't know Earnhoney, but I use it for other programs too, whatever window I want always on top. It's a standalone, not part of Firefox

ROFLMAO me too!!! Some of the best friends I've had worked there. If you don't mind me asking... which branch did you work at? I worked at the call center in Frisco, TX and was technically Tier II tech care at T-Mo.

AMA. I worked in Waterville, ME. The deep south, up no'th. That's the main reason we parted ways. I hated the area.

It was dark, cloudy, and about 20 degrees today, and it's getting ready to snow. that means I'll get a lot of work done tomorrow.

But I can't cope with FL in summer. I've been there in August. ....

I don't know why they're picking on Amazon for this... there are tons of companies that have similar policies. I used to work at T-Mobile in technical care for example, and they would fire you after having 5 absences in a year regardless of if you had a doctors note or not. Plus being late by even a minute counted as a 1/2 day to this policy! It was ridiculous.

And I've very rarely hear of a company caring about your living conditions... there are people living on the streets and out of cars trying to work and they just get fired because they "don't have reliable transportation" or can't keep a "proper work appearance". It's sad...

Amazon is known to pay poorly and work their people a ridiculous number of hours. That's how they keep their prices lower than everyone else. I've found articles in the NYTimes too. And they'rec picking on Amazon because it's one of the largest retailers in the world, besides owning another string of companies like Goodreads and Audible and Mturk.

Why not? All one page.

 

[Caturk]

Shit! I'm working on other surveys today, Mintvine, Innopoll, Opinion Outpost, etc. Work 25 minutes on one, they disqualify me at the end.

Most MT pollsters DQ you at the beginning. Age 70? OUT! No kids? OUT! NY? OUT!

This is why I never touch the Swagbucks surveys.
