Thank you for the Christmas greetings. I have to share that I was blown away by getting a bonus for the first time ever, which actually does help a bit with the typical lost production this time of year. I'm still paid subpar line rates, but this did soften the blow a bit. This MTSO at least truly understands the concept of IC status with no fixed shifts, no mandatory unpaid meetings, no micromanaging weekly stats, etc., and--while I still look for better pay elsewhere and a possible change in career--still, for that I am grateful.
