Why Ratings Are Not Objective.

On this board, in this context, a rating system as currently employed is not necessary. I don't even bother with it, personally, however, Percy is using this as a test bed for his forum software. As such, he needs to make sure it has features people want, and needs to test those features.There are many forums out there that have a rating system, and for some, it is even helpful. For example, a forum on gardening might have a rating system so that if you ask a question about fertilizer and you get three different suggestions, the person who's been more highly rated has probably been more helpful and useful as a resource.Remember, we are but rats in Percy's giant lab, if you're nice and make it to the end of the maze, you may even get a piece of 10-day old cheese, so buck up.

Well, considering working for a company and not getting paid for it is illegal and the company can get into some very serious issues were it to be discovered, your unpaid overtime could have been the very reason you got rated less than you probably deserved.It happens all the time where I work. Someone has a project, but overtime isn't approved, so they stay late off the clock to finish it. They usually get talked to very sternly if they're found out, and we're told very often to either go home and just let the project take longer, work as long as you need to, but flex your schedule the rest of the week to stay under 40 hours, or talk to a supervisor and see if they can get overtime approved for you, but under no circumstances, work off the clock.
