Now I'll be forced to text

If this is a company related requirement, then they should pay 100% of the equipment costs, the monthly fees, and ALL the text charges.
If you are Freelance, or Self employed, at least it's deductable as a buisness expense!!!

 

When you say sucks for texting and maybe 10 messages a month, i really wonder why you would bother getting a new one. are you going to try to write essays using your cell phone? So you get a text telling you to come in... you reply with "ok" and head in.

or am i missing something here?

 

umm so what is the issue?

10 texts per month.
20 cents per txt....that be $2 each way....$4. pocket the rest.

man i wish i worked for a company as nice~!!

obtw... my company cut pay from 10-25%

 

Yeah, i know how that is... Some parts of our "always connected" society really suck sometimes. A little over a year ago, i was stuck in my car in the middle of the first big snowfall of the year on a Saturday, and my boss called. It was apparently vitally important that i log in immediately to fix something in some code that wasn't going to be submitted for 5 months... man, i was ticked about that.

But then there are good parts of it, too... i was sick yesterday and didn't have to take time off - i just logged in from home.

 

oooh u work from computer?? well, get gmail account. you can text directly from it. that way you wont have to pay anything...just have to constantly monitor your computer is all

as far as pay cuts go... it seems to be par for the course. several jobs i had considered in the past have also cut their pay so it looks like jumping ship will not be easy either. add to that, new report this morning unemployment in Wa state just jumped to 9.2%...its still getting darker around here

 

So, please help me here, why on earth are you still with that company??? Uhh, just turn in your two week notice and work either for yourself or get another job.
