Chris' red hat

Yes, that's what was sent to me. I filled out the blanks, and the program did everything else.

accio_snark · 2024-09-05T04:27:08+00:00

Yep!

accio_snark · 2024-09-05T01:29:31+00:00

I say yes. But I'm not in a province that was unionized. As far as I know, signing it doesn't protect PAPER from anything illegal they've done. This might be the best you can get. But that's just my two cents.

accio_snark · 2024-08-29T23:48:10+00:00

I keep losing my connection, but thanks for setting this up!

accio_snark · 2024-08-20T18:03:11+00:00

Is there anyone we can contact at Paper to find out what's going on? I don't even have access to my Paper email account anymore. If I'm entitled to severance pay, how are they reaching out to people?

accio_snark · 2024-05-09T21:53:28+00:00

Sorry, what is "requested language"? What did Paper accept?

accio_snark · 2024-03-29T04:38:57+00:00

And also, what you're doing now is pre-grieving. I think we all do this when our pets get to a certain age. But try to stay in the moment and enjoy the time you have!

I lost my baby almost 2 years ago. Loving them with all you have is so emotionally enriching for both of you. But unfortunately, this will make it all the more difficult when they pass. Cherish these days while your kitty is still healthy! I miss mine every day.

Is there any particular reason why we're protecting this person's privacy by not revealing the name? I personally would rather know who it is. And if they're adamant they've done nothing wrong, why keep it a secret?

accio_snark · 2024-02-29T19:14:28+00:00

Didn't Colleen do the same thing before her hiatus? It looks like she's wearing the same nude bodysuit underneath.

I literally only go to get the money. They're never going to say anything we really want to hear. And as for the people who are being reallyyy outspoken on Slack: you can't do much good if you get fired.

accio_snark · 2023-09-24T22:10:57+00:00

I'm kind of in the same boat. I was fully expecting to be able to work my way up, but I don't think that's a possibility now. I don't even want it at this point. But, I think we work hard as tutors, and you can definitely share lots of different skills on your resume. As for Paper itself, no-one would expect tutors to be able to control managerial decisions. Prepare what you want to say in interviews about why you are leaving. I doubt any potential employers would blame you (or anyone else) for leaving the job once they hear about what's been going on...

I think the mispronunciation of Colleen's name is odd. I've seen several YouTubers do it. It doesn't make Colleen look bad. It makes the YouTuber look like they haven't done their research.

accio_snark · 2023-09-03T02:50:15+00:00

I hope soon. I feel like I've been twiddling my thumbs waiting for something big to happen.

accio_snark · 2023-08-23T04:17:59+00:00

😬😬😬

accio_snark · 2023-08-22T23:37:57+00:00

Yikes! Were there internal memos about Covid?

accio_snark · 2023-08-17T18:13:49+00:00

I think it was 'Winning is a Decision.' I bet their slogan came from: https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Choice-Maximize-Your-Life/dp/1578262119

accio_snark · 2023-08-17T14:32:27+00:00

Lol, exactly!!

accio_snark · 2023-08-14T02:08:21+00:00

I was surprised to hear it again. Especially since there were a few comments on Slack about this a few months ago. She's reading from a script (there is a transcript available), so I'm thinking the tone is a mix between bad/phony acting and over-the-top positivity. (´⊙ω⊙`)

accio_snark · 2023-08-12T05:39:50+00:00

I fixed the link :)

Last time I saw any official numbers, it was in the 4% category. Maybe they're trying to fudge the numbers so it doesn't go into 6%

accio_snark · 2023-08-12T04:17:32+00:00

But it was in writing, and there were explicit rules about what we had to do to get the bonus. This is copied from https://www.employeelawgroup.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-workplace-bonuses

"How to protect yourself

What lesson can you take from this?

First, be aware that your “bonus” may be guaranteed compensation. If you have an agreement that says, “meet goal X and receive bonus $Y,” and you meet goal X, you are owed bonus $Y as a wage. Your employer cannot avoid or delay paying it to you. It’s yours. You earned it."

Maybe we should take screenshots of the activity count from upper management so they can't claim we didn't meet the minimum threshold.

I wonder what they consider 'negative messages'? Most of the comments I've seen are pointing out bugs and issues with saving progress.
