What? No David?

KKJ — Sun, 21 Apr 2024 17:36:24 GMT

Am disappointed as tuned in for ITKWD and no David today.

Every employee is deserving of their contractual time off.

I'm also enjoying the show. I like watching Mary

And there are posters who tuned into ITKWM yesterday and there was no Mary!

The disappointment balances out I suppose.

@KKJ You should follow him on the various social media sites.

He's been talking for weeks about his "long weekend to Florida".

Speaking of people taking contractual time off, how come Jane Treacy is always 'on vacation?' Not that I'm complaining, but it seems like she only works a day or 2 a week and is in Florida the rest of the time. Contractual time or not, one has a responibility to go to work or resign. As a teacher, I had accrued a lot of time but only used it when absolutely necessary. My husband and I even planned our wedding for July so it wouldn't interfer with the school year and leave my kids with a substitute. I know if I took as much time off as she does, my bosses would have been on me, even though by virtue of my contract, there would be nothing they could do to me. Not abusing PTO days is called 'responsibility.'

If she loves Florida so much, why doesn't she just move there. Taking so much time off is not fair to her colleagues as they have to cover for her, albeit, it's a pleasure for this viewer as I'm sure it is for many others. Less chaotic, less me, me, me, my daughters on stage, literally, literally, and literally (always used incorrectly), and 'mah honey.' Just my observation.

I like Mary, she does a good job.

Hosts that have been at QVC for a long time probably get a lot of vacation time.

@KKJ I was surprised too, but I'm enjoying watching Mary. NOT enjoying the endless Dyson presentations. I missed David's FB posts this week, so I didn't realize he was going to be in Florida this weekend.

You know what? Maybe the few days off will help him refresh his presentations. They have been uninspired lately. JMO.

I'm sure her time off is between her and the mothership. If she has the time she might as well take it. I know when I worked I took every single day allotted to me. I didn't complain when others took time off nor should others complain when I took time off.

I personally enjoy JT's absence. Maybe she will retire there soon or work for the other channel that is there.

Franklinbell — Sun, 21 Apr 2024 19:06:16 GMT

Well, on my job we can accrue so much time and then you are cut off from accruing anyone until you use some. Perhaps that is way Qvc works. Maybe she is only contracted for a certain amount of time per month. It's so funny to me hat she can't win. Others have posted she's on too ugh now not enough. Idk....

Re: What? No David?

They CallMe MRWILKES — Sun, 21 Apr 2024 19:21:34 GMT

I believe that every employee should use all the personal and vacation days that they have legitimately accrued. It's an employee benefit. I think it would be foolish to ignore a benefit that is yours.

Last Wednesday he said he was taking a long weekend, wouldn't be on Sunday, but would be back on next Wednesday.

Because it's not 1985 and there is no such thing as "abusing PTO". I work for the second largest restaurant company in the world and we actually have been given unlimited PTO as of this past January. We are encouraged to take time off frequently as it prevents burnout and improves workplace morale and productivity. No one abuses anything and it's a great recruitment tool.

I'm also enjoying Rachel seeming a lot more relaxed in the show. No "intern/mentee" role to fill, with David hovering over her to taste food. Today it's two competent hosts, with Mary still able to take the lead. Refreshing.

ellaphant — Sun, 21 Apr 2024 19:37:31 GMT

Not a fan of JT but she has worked there for decades and I'm sure she has a large amount of PTO. She's earned it, let her use it.

You dont like Jane, yet you are complaining she is not on enough for your satisfactiin of what she should be doing in your eyes. Ok. Perhaps... Focus on something that actually affects you or that you yourself can control and you will be a happier person.
