So, the questions and answers that have been posted got me wondering about the point of these payday questions. I think many of the suggestions are great, (The person who suggested supervisor office hours....that's my favorite idea!!) and it's always nice to see that we all have similar ideas for what would make the REC better...
But are they actually willing to use any of these suggestions? I can understand there are things they truly cant do..like several people talked about how we could use new chairs, which is THE TRUTH, but I'm sure spending $$$ on chairs for our building just isn't going to happen. This whole "we're listening" phase seems to be about placating employees who stick around, not about changing anything.
Also...drama/scandal..one of the suggestions included a little note about how the person was just grateful to have a job and they're so thankful to Ramona for passing them despite their scores. Umm? Are we so desperate that we are employing people who don't actually pass training?

Wow, if I'd known I didn't have to actually pass training, I wouldn't have stressed out so much. Seriously though, I've been told by group leaders that every training class has a few people who don't pass. I wonder why Ramona made an exception for this person?
I'd be surprised if management took any of these suggestions seriously. The only employee suggestions I've ever seen implemented are ones that have an immediate effect on non-productive time. The payday questions seem like a meaningless feel-good thing to me.

I agree, I don't think management will make any real changes because of these questions. You're right lastrec, every training class has at least a few people who just can't pass. The trainers have a bit of discression: if a trainee clearly understands the rules, but keeps failing with a 7140 speed, the trainer may let them pass a test or 2. For a supervisor to get involved, the person must not have been even close to passing. If I were that trainee, I'd keep my mouth shut, out of sheer embarrassment.

I took "thanks Ramona for passing me despite my scores" as something less nefarious.
I interpreted it as thank you for letting me pass probation even though I wasn't up to the 7150 keystrokes or whatever other benchmarks that employee was referring to as "scores." That was my case as a TE - I started out working only 5 hour shifts and my supervisor approved me to pass probation even though my speed was a bit low in some areas. I was well below the standard "desk hours" in my first 90 days because I was so part time.
I now key well over 100% in all platforms. As a new keyer, I was focused more on quality than speed.
