Methinks I hit a nerve. ;-)
Really, it gets...Whoa! Methinks I hit a nerve. ;-)<br /><br />Really, it gets bad on some forums. One almost feels like a frat house and you have to joke along with people who are supposedly "higher up" or get lambasted (not the forum I'm referring to in the post.) And it is so negative. As for this forum, there have been so few complaints because the "managers" are so proactive to address an issue if you let them know about it.<br /><br />There's definitely hand-biting involved, or perhaps an inflated entitlement issue, especially when it comes to hired independent contractors of specified work. But a person can't assume that everyone should feel the same way as him.<br /><br />And I do mind the long comments :-)Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10117937124348728578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169129998329537448.post-67003431689520066682012-05-18T12:42:15.744-04:002012-05-18T12:42:15.744-04:00Truth, truth, and more TRUTH. I've always had ...Truth, truth, and more TRUTH. I've always had a problem with people who bite the hand that feeds them. Obviously, there will be some folks with legitimate beefs, but I've found, over the course of my already-too-long life, that many folks who complain about being treated unfairly are basing that complaint on a comparison with other people's conditions which they really shouldn't have brought into the discussion in the first place.<br /><br />What I mean is, say you're being paid $250 for a job. You're happy getting $250, and you agreed to those terms with a smile. You continue being happy until you find out someone else is getting $300 for a similar job. Then you decide that you are being treated unfairly and you become disgruntled.<br /><br />Sorry, Ace. Mind your own damn business and work your own damn deals. What someone else is getting should in no way inform your happiness or lack of same. And the problem is, folks who make comparisons with others, to decide whether they should be happy or not, will NEVER remain happy for more than a few moments because there will ALWAYS be somebody, somewhere, who has it better than they do. They're the chronic, bitchy, sourpussed bastards who make this world...<br /><br />Uh, I think I made whatever point I was going for. Sorry to go on and on. Nice piece!Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.com
