I rather doubt that the majority on here are enjoying Mates Rates either.
As for the box going to staff I heard that it was equal shares between staff and customers for the first boxes. |
I would also find it hard to belive that the majority would be on mates rates, but when you sometimes read these posts you do wonder. I also find it surprisingly strange that so many boxes and "a new product" are going to employees before customers, whether the figure is again "a rumour" time will tell, but the vibes given out says workers get priority over customers in which case Virgin must be one of the only companies I know where a worker gets preference over the customer for a product. Yes its good to know if the product will work ok, but surely not that amout of feedback is needed before its on general release, also you wont quite get an unbiased public opinion of the product, because any employee will praise the company it works for.
