In Reply to: Basic math - Tired of hearing it

I'm talking about MQ talking about both sides of their bottoms.  They reduce YOUR pay (no, I'm not an MT) by claiming that your production is up some contrived percentage.  They claim everything is then even steven - they pay you less but you produce more, so payroll essentially remains the same.  Obviously, this is in direct contradiction to their claims of millions of dollars saved in 1 quarter on payroll due to ASR.  My post was not claiming any of the whines you stated, so maybe you had best study up on your reading comprehension.
