Ugh, no! That sounds like a policy that rewards the biggest, loudest bullies.

pro tip: if you want me to rate your product or service highly...DO NOT ASK ME TO GIVE YOU A HIGH RATING. I’m going to be super critical of anything if you solicit high marks. I know its not directly related but it sure seems to happen more and more with these and other similar surveys.

She just said she TOLD them to try for that, not that they actually did. Also, seeing as she says they were then fired when they asked I’m guessing that no, they did not and this was a surprise to the tour.

Well, if a contingency plan was in their contract, then Swift’s people would’ve known from the beginning that there’s a chance they could leave.

Ugh this feud is so boring and stupid I am not rooting for either of them. However, I will say that this “reason” from Katy Perry isn’t the exoneration she seems to think it is.

Let’s…

Yes! Another CO person! I’m always surprised by how crazy things grow where we are now—it is a crazy shift in thinking.

Given that this response will be very popular, my question to the author is why are you trying to shame people when they don’t have a choice? Did you not consider that when you decided (were told) to write an article bashing MS Word and the people who use it?
