"CARROT ON A STICK" - Horse

My employer has started resorting to the carrot-on-a-stick game to try to squeeze more work out of us when TATs get behind.  One "carrot" is so-called "premium" pay for working extra hours on the weekend.  Two catches:  Your week's total still has to add up to 40 hours, and you don't get the "premium" cpl until you've already done your day's minimum lines.  Oh wait, there's a third catch:  Most of the work is the worst of the worst ESLs, their transcription platform is clunky and slow, and they know darned well that most of us work more than 8 hours a day to achieve our minimum lines, if we're even able to achieve them at all.   Other times, they have "contests" for cash cards.  Of course, there's a couple catches to that, as well:  Doing a prescribed amount of extra work doesn't automatically get you a cash card.  All it gets you is the CHANCE to get a cash card, because you have to "win" it in a drawing.   This horse has been fooled one time too many.  "Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me."
