This highlights one of the many problems with running HQ so lean. There aren't enough people available to make sure the employees are taken care of.
Don't worry Slaven not all is lost, refresh will continue to run on time.

Do they run lean or do they just spend to much time screwing around with things that don't matter?

BTW, my mail arrived and no paycheck today.
Did you even check your company email? They said they would pay for any autopayment issues that cost you extra as a result of this glitch.

Did you check the time stamp on the company emails verses Slavens post?

Oh oops my bad. But I highly doubt the company would have just told you to suck it up. It's a vendor error, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have some kind of contract for pay errors and delays.

The "company" has said many things throughout it's short history and followed it up with "suck it up". While it's agreed upon that they wouldn't do it with payroll, they have set the tone with many other failed policies and procedures. Fortunately we have managed to change some before you arrived. The frustration comes from the profession that we're some kind of new airline, when we are truly just a new organization with the same old ladder climbing managers.

You'll get it eventually.

Come on, putz. You were just like him once upon a time. Amazing how a little experience will change your viewpoint, isn't it?

Give him time, he'll figure it out.

This is what happens when flight attendants run an airline.
