A few times for me, I think. Employers trying to hold back on cash.

Honestly, never. In fact a fair number of nice favors have come my way unbidden.

ripped off...at work...never.

Why?

Combination of making sure it doesn't happen and a bit of luck.

I, like schwa, got and get a lot of bonuses and favors thrown my way.

At my last job - never. There were actually all sorts of bonuses and supper allowances added on to my paycheck.

At this job - all the time. Which makes me the idiot for leaving the first job, I guess.

How do you know that you aren't being ripped off every month?
Transparency International's "Corruption Perceptions Index 2003" lists Korea 10 places lower than what it was last year, meaning the country ranked 50th. It means that in this new government in which civil servants are given lectures about reform and ministers in tune with the government's politics throw their work aside and run around the country, the corruption has gotten that much worse. The reality is that everything from the central government to regional ones, and the private sector, such as between corporate purchasing and subcontractors, are involved. And the food chain of corruption goes on and on.

But it is only you that I use that word with!!! So it's your fault as you are making me swear all the time!! Laughing Laughing Laughing

Do they tell you when you are going to get banned or are you just banned without any warning? Never happened to me so am not sure of the protocol.

They gave me a warning.
I think they most probably say your getting banned tomorrow for two weeks for the following offences...

But not sure. Ask Wylde about it.
