08/01 - Thirsty Thursday

I like you, and I wont even say you're wrong in your assessment of that convo, but VRAPI's response was absolutely unacceptable and I disagree with you for defending them over it.

As a worker, requester, random bum off the street, you don't screw with someone's income over petty social disputes (which, no narrative, was what most of that convo was). There is a massive, insurmountable power imbalance at play in that situation, and VRAPI doesn't deserve a single bit of defense for blocking her account over it.

That is THE line they should have never, ever, in a million years been anywhere near and they ran right to it immediately.

Who or what is VRAPI? I keep seeing this in the message board but couldn't find it when I did a search on requesters, hits, etc.

Thank you! I didn't realize that it was an abbreviation.

 

I have had jobs where you can tell your boss to fuck off, and I have had jobs where you can't. Knowing the difference and how to approach each situation will get you a long way in life. THAT's all I'm saying.

No one can change how they are going to approach things, but my entire goal here is how I, personally, can approach this, to get the best possible working conditions. You know that this is basically my entire income, so swearing at them, getting their back up, and flooding the chat with nonsense is NOT the way to improve our conditions.
