It was so bizarre. The first week, I knew they considered me slow but they were okay with letting me stay on. I don't know what it was that I did wrong... because in the middle of the next week I was out.-
@sim @harmlessgryphon @miahandmaiden You did nothing wrong. That's how they "RIGGED" it. So they don't have to compensate you, say for severance pay .. Etc Etc. You are essentially a slave. They work people to death for the required minimum. And then fire them, And then "re-hire" somebody else. It's a Potato Knishesing scam.

You have a lot of contracts like this... they outsource finding employment to these companies you have to go through. If you do a good job, some may decide to hire you themselves though. Which is what happened to one of my ex-co-workers at a different company. Clearly this one was Potato Knishes and has bad practice. I also wonder if this is how the figures can be tricked. At first, I thought if our branch did well... we would get extra pay too. I mean, why tell it to me if it didn't apply to me? I asked the person assigned to me, and apparently not. Smh.-
@sim I'm really sorry that you got a really grapety deal.

@pennyfortheguy
Me too. It's also sad... because if speed wasn't an issue for any of these companies, I'd be a model employee. I loved working.-
@sim Yes. I get that about you. IE You're a hard worker. The problem being, that they just don't give a kiwi about people, and their feelings. Why should they, when they have a myriad of potential victims to exploit.

@pennyfortheguy
Yep. Once I'm committed... I will go above and beyond... within my capabilities. I even wished I could be speedy, but whatever I did... it didn't work. That is true... there are plenty of people out there who have what I lack, and what they seek.-
@sim Well, you have more than proved that point, by way of the time and effort that you have contributed to this site. You're OK @sim and I have nothing but the greatest respect and admiration for you. ;-)

Yep. I was prepared to go through the bot accounts before, and delete them individually. But there was a bit too much at 15k... and it was more efficient to do what fl0wn did. Even if that wasn't the case, I would have gone through them myself. I don't have a whole lot to do so it was the least I could do. Sometimes I want more to do here, but at the time I am glad that I don't because less moderation means that we're pro-free speech and that people aren't breaking the main rule.
Cheers... I smiled at the thought. Although I don't know what I did to deserve it. ;)-
@sim Modest too huh. Now I know why I just plain applein luv ya. ;-)

@pennyfortheguy
Very. Although I like being able to admit my own qualities... I don't want to downplay myself too much. At the same time, I don't want to over-inflate my ego on falsities. What I want for myself could be seen as cocky though... if people don't know the qualities that I want to be confident and honest about.-
@sim And that my friend makes you fit into the role of Mod perfectly. All the right dynamics and qualities are on display. One cannot train for that, it just comes naturally with you. One has to hand it to @hope she has a good eye for talent. ;-)

@pennyfortheguy @hope
Cheers. But I did have to work a lot on myself... I made a lot of changes. As for moderating, I sort of stumbled across that. I made a joke to hope. I asked her what I should do because people were mistaking me for being a moderator since I decided to help people understand SLC more. I wanted to be able to provide a space for the questions that people were commonly asking at the time. So I started a list I would post out when I heard those questions being asked.-

@pennyfortheguy @hope
What would you say all the right qualities for being a moderator are?-
@sim @hope Patience. Displaying good judgment, Good people skills. Motivational skills. You have those by the truckload. ;-)
-
@pennyfortheguy @hope
Hmm... I don't know about people skills. But I do have a decent patience.

@sim You should try becoming an artisan. Woodworking, metalworkind, sculpting, any of that, where speed isn't important but dedication and detail are.
