Things were okay for me until this new MT Coordinator stepped in. She sends what I consider to be kind of threatening emails, and then a little bit later she either retracts the email or the owner sends another much more nicely worded email about the issue that.

I also wonder about being paid for this meeting. I work very part-time hours, have limited hours I can be at the computer, so I will have to take this time out of my work hours because I can't make time at any other point during the day. So I just lose 30 minutes of work time for nothing?
