Different pay method

I think this is the third time in two years that my boss has changed the method of my compensation. I am now paid a flat percentage of whatever my company makes. This may eventually lead to an increase in my net take-home, but all the door-knocking I've done lately hasn't yet caught up. Bread cast on the waters, and all that.

I don't blame my boss; he's trying to keep the doors open, and lately almost every dollar the company took in went to pay my hourly totals. Now, at least, he'll be able to pay himself something...

So again, please lemme know if you need anything printed, even if you're nowhere near Dallas. I might be able to ship things to you for a total cheaper than you can buy locally.

Rick, I hate to ask this, but are you a union shop? My local has caught some flack from other CWA locals for not having a union bug on our printed materials.

My company is not a union shop, no. But thanks for thinking of us :>

Drat. I was hoping you might be, 'cause I would have been delighted to give our business to a friend.

I cannot speak for the Post Meridian Radio Players specifically. However, [livejournal.com profile] audioboy might, and we have a show coming up this October which requires some color printing. Should you email him, please give him my name so he knows it isn't from out of the blue.
Chances are small that he would change shops but they are not zero. Price point is a key determinant but quality of service matters too.

Message sent. Thanks for the lead :>
