Re: I need some help!

Perhaps it's not "one" example, but that's the tenor of the nitpickiness I have seen and heard of. Services that have new rules daily or weekly - which of course make their "ICs" employees (whether they want to believe it or not). Why do MTSOs put up with this crap?

MT her job or some MTSO a good MT.

If an MT loses work over followup, follow-up, follow up confusion, my
guess is that there is more to the situation than just that.


You're right. And I really can't believe that in the throes of tomato seedling time I'm actually wasting time arguing over such a trivial matter!!
