Seriously, decent posts get like 1000 views in 30 minutes, what's up with that? Don't our folks have anything else to do during work hours? That's massive, 1000 people checking this thing out is massive, for example this post is going to reach more... — read more

QTime Rant

My rant of the day. I really see no point in keeping a time card when we're told to fake the hours by never entering anything other than 40 hours a week. Of course, the software prevents entries beyond 40 hours a week - but it still irks me! That's... — read more

On Q Execs not liking this site

In fact, this site should be an asset for them - this is the only way they hear what people ACTUALLY think, and not sugar coated feedback nonsense each of us give them on a regular basis. This is the true face of QC, a lot of anger, frustration, some... — read more
