Well, if the turnover is that high, one of the dispatchers must be hiring at any given time. How are they getting replacements? |
It's an example of what happens in prettty extreme cases. This kind of thing doesn't happen so often that all dispatchers are in a constant process of hiring.
But to answer the question: sometimes smaller dispatchers will need to hirer some one quickly, but the larger dispatchers will often have people waiting in the wing just in case.
Interac for example hirers and keeps a few of ALTs who don't receive a placement. Instead, according to 2 I met last Halloween, they just sit around the Tokyo head office getting to paid to study Japanese until a placement becomes avaliable. And they also hirer temporary replacement ALTs who are paid despite not always working. These people temporarily relocate and take up placements where either the regular ALT has bailed only a couple of months before the next intake or have needed to take extended leave. We had one these ALTs come over from Saitama last year to cover for an ALT who had to go back to their home country for a while because of a family emergency.
So they don't normally need to hirer replacements outside of the regular hiring times. |

I hate to be the grammar police, but I hope you were just tired as all heck when you wrote this. I mean, really! Four times you use the word "hirer" as a verb! Geez! |

Not as such. It's called 'e' is next to 'r' on the keyboard and typing at an angle with nails and only my left hand has me often dragging and pressing more than one key at once. And since I often only scan for really noticeable spelling mistakes, I really didn't notice. I guess I am proof that not all women are good at multi-tasking.
But the fact you felt the need to post without an ounce of info or response related to the topic... admit it: you enjoy being the grammar police.  |

Seemed like pretty selective mistake-making, sek. Only one word had that type of error, and others with the letter 'e' in them did not.
Whatever.
As for "liking" the responsibility of being the grammar police, I think my few posts made to correct the plethora of errors stands for itself. I have also written many times how I usually ignore such things. Your error stood out strongly enough to call for a post. Sorry that you didn't like it.
And, I'd already posted with more than "an ounce" of response to the topic, or hadn't you read that? |

As I said before but you didn't understand, I scan for spelling mistakes: "hirer" is not an incorrect spelling and therefore didn't get noticed. I actually had quite a few extra 'r's, 's's and 'd's in. But even I can spot that "sometimers" is wrong and correct it. And if you take out the offending 'r' you can easily see that the that the verb would have been conjugated correctly in each of the four cases you highlighted.
And often when you English police you have also have some relevant info in the post. But in this case of the post I was referring to (clearly highlighted by the use of the quote button) you did not contribute anything to the topic.
I'm not sure why you think I was in someway upset by your picking up on my typos. I think my response clearly had an element of jest in. Sorry that you didn't pick that up.
Besides, did you not think that it was strange that in all the time I have been on the forum and in all the posts I have made about the hiring process over here, it's only now that I seem unable to distiguish between the verb and the noun? |
