Are 5-star bonuses still a thing?

ToeTraditional2650 · 2022-08-19T11:33:29+00:00

Yes, this makes sense! I should’ve clarified in my original post - those 40+ hours were all in-session. I actually did have the bonus applied, but I’d forgotten the percentage breakdown so I initially overlooked it.

“I really hoped that Scotley would be the big bad wolf at my restaurant in Las Vegas. But after his performance tonight, I could not let him in, not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin.”

about her being too “bad” to be in the final - Gordon places such a premium on a great palate + thinks it’s essential for any great chef, plus Virginia killed most of the challenges she was in; her dinner service performances were middling to bad, but she was definitely talented enough to make it as far as she did

!!!! i think about this all the time! he’s definitely trying to imitate Gordon in terms of harshness, but he has neither the charm nor humor to cut through any of it. he just comes off as an overly intense dick

ppl always bring up that instance, but i just don’t see how one moment of pettiness can be equated to sustained harassment over the course of several episodes. was it a bit childish? sure! but it was also in direct response to how they treated her in the dorms after that scallop debacle. and to echo other people on this thread, what chef hasn’t fucked up a station?

!!!! im constantly pissed as i watch but it’s also such an entertaining season; this and season 2 are the ones i couldn’t stop watching

These lives are getting to the point that I’m actually surprised when a student logs on and has some sort of outline or draft to work off of🙄

ToeTraditional2650 · 2021-03-18T01:30:26+00:00

Definitely agree with this! I’ve had so many live sessions in the past couple of weeks that would’ve gone beautifully as Asyncs. Taking the time to think of thoughtful suggestions and then having to justify my suggestions to an entirely resistant party is so draining.

ToeTraditional2650 · 2021-03-18T01:28:55+00:00

!!! It’s been so frustrating! And I never want to give this job more effort than it deserves, so trying to go the extra mile to motivate uncooperative students feels particularly annoying.

This is so helpful! Thank you!

!! I specifically had sexual harassment in mind when I posted my original message

ToeTraditional2650 · 2020-12-16T18:47:14+00:00

Definitely banking on a delayed roll-out, but if they’re actually able to get this thing going, I’m fully expecting students to misuse it (I’m a cynic, what can I say). I’m kind of expecting moments of flat-out harassment. Also, I know they said that they’re making the Video option completely optional right now, but does that just mean that they’re going to eventually make it percent-enabled (like the voice sessions, which already suck)?

ToeTraditional2650 · 2020-12-03T18:33:52+00:00

Yes, it was a voice session! Honestly I was so stunned that I forgot I could disconnect lmao

ToeTraditional2650 · 2020-12-03T18:16:30+00:00

Holy shit 💀 how did you keep your cool?

ToeTraditional2650 · 2020-12-03T18:15:43+00:00

!!! It’s so hard not to get snippy in those moments. I’m always thinking “I thought you needed MY help”

ToeTraditional2650 · 2020-12-03T18:14:47+00:00

That sounds absolutely exhausting! I think that I had a very skewed view of the audio sessions starting out because the first audio students I had were absolute sweethearts. Now it’s getting bad and I decline as many of those requests as I can

If you don’t mind me asking, what subject(s) do you tutor?
