I am missing the part where these people are forced to work there.

If you don't like the conditions at your work, find a better job. If you can't find a better job, find a different job that you will enjoy more or be better appreciated at. If you can't find any alternative job, be thankful that you have a job and stfu, because there are many families that don't even have an income at Christmas let alone a "bonus".

Clearly what the problem is, Mindfuck are just not releasing enough FREE PORN fast enough so that these poor employees can create relevant spam accounts !

BINGO!!!!!

This is not about any bonus, layoffs, breaks etc. It was posted to make a point supporting the contention that Manwin / Mindgeek are not doing as well as has been suggested by the prior, so called "owner" and the kiss ass tube suckers around here. :winkwink:

Or, more likely, an Indian or Pakistani educated in London.

If they are like many of you and companies in general, they don't care much about their employees or the human race (with the exception of self).

VikingMan 12-23-2013 09:46 PM

Dear MindGeek employee,

How about you go out and stake your own claim you little fucking complaining bitch. Take your bonus/handout expectation and shove it up your ass. This is why I have always kept my companies small. If I had a large number of employees I would end up losing it and calling them horrible names. Right now I have 12 contract employees and I am at my boiling point. No I did not give any of them and gay ass Christmas bonuses. I bought my mother and kid presents since they are the only two people I care about and everyone else can GFY.

i just think its funny that the point of the thread is to feel bad for these lazy, half-ass employees of Manwin. that company has been a scourge on this industry for years. just because you are a lowly employee, it doesn't make you innocent.

#

Actually you and signupdammit got the point of the thread its news...inside news combined with the rest of the stuff that happened with Manwin in the last year it does paint an interesting picture of the status of the company.

Most Manwin properties are money sinks, save for the tube sites which they are distancing the other properties from.

Its also interesting that they change the corp HQ every year or so...trying to stay one step ahead of the local authorities I expect.

Manwin hasnt purchased anything of note in quite some time either....

Shouldn't it be "GFT"? :P

TheSquealer 12-23-2013 10:23 PM

This is what happens when you:

1) hire poorly
2) try to do a .com thing, spoiling employees (it's never appreciated by more than a small few - mostly, it becomes expected)
3) do not tie bonuses to individual performance and make them earned, rather than a gift

A simple fact about paying people is that paying the wrong people more NEVER gets the correct behavior from a bad employee. It does... but maybe for about 2 weeks until they either start bitching about the same thing and wanting more again, or find a new perceived injustice or complaint.

These people need to be canned immediately, as you can see, they are a cancer to a business and ultimately infect almost everyone, destroying the entire team.

Did you hear, Manwin didn't give their employees Christmas bonus, but they did get a fancy Christmas parties with shiny draw prizes.:thumbsup

Far-L 12-23-2013 10:32 PM

Reminds me of the time one of our employees wanted every one to walk out because "we used to be chill but now we expected everyone to work and that is just fucked".

When we let him go he promised that we would be out of biz within the year.

That was over a decade ago.

ls101 12-23-2013 10:38 PM

When your employer does not recognize you then your doing nothing. But if your employer recognizes you then your doing a great job. Same as bonus. Not every employee deserves to receive a bonus.

yea i was hoping you weren't supporting the Manwin employees, even tho they are against their own company now. i wouldn't hire an ex-Manwin employee to wash my dogs. a lot of posters on the 1st page were supporting the employee, before people starting realizing what we were talking about.

I am sorry, but this is ridiculous. As someone who works for Manwin (MindGeek) and has been in the adult business for over 20 years I have to comment. I had meetings with them last summer where they told me that they were going to slightly cut back the budgets on Babes.com and that was going to impact my income. I wasn't happy about it. Did I come online and complain about it? Of course not. It was perfectly logical given the marketplace and I did what any sensible business person would do. I looked for additional work to supplement my income. Times are tough in most industries right now and especially in Adult. We all know that and still choose to work in it. We CHOOSE to.

This ?employee? is a perfect example of the type of person I would never hire. They are a complainer and feel entitled. I am sure that the important people that Manwin wanted to keep got taken care of. That is called business. Bonuses are just that. Extra gifts for the most important people in the profit of the company. A company that is making less than projected should give everyone bonuses? I mean they are already paying you to work there, right? If this employee that wrote this letter is so unhappy and is qualified to make more money well then he should quit right? I mean it is a free country (well Canada) so I don't understand what the problem is.

If this employee makes a ton of money for Manwin and feels he is not getting what he deserves he should grow some balls and take it up with his managers. If it is a legitimate beef and they can?t afford to lose him they will step up and pay him more. It?s as simple as that. If you want a bonus then stand out. Do things above and beyond your job scope.

Now, I am sure that there are some people at MindGeek who do have legitimate complaints about work. It is a big company and these things happen. Based on the law of averages I am sure some assholes work there too. I hope this employee finds a way to step up his game, and prove to his employers that he deserves a bonus. Speaking for myself and my company, those are the only guys on my team who ever get one.

Can I hire you?

Exactly. I also do not understand whining, if you don't like your job nobody is forcing you to stay. Fucking employees.

Everything you myopic little shit.

The only people whose businesses were destroyed were those without the intelligence to alter what they were doing to adapt to the ever changing climate of online marketing.

Manwin entered the business with a plan that worked, argue forever about copyright violations, etc. really have never looked that close at it, but I am guessing with DMCA they exploited a loophole, executed their plan, made a fortune, and became a giant.

IF....and take notice I said IF, anything was illegal one of two things will happen, they will get called to task by authorities, or they will get away with it.

Crying and whining about it doesn't change where we are today, people need to either change what they are doing and make money, or go get a fucking job and get out of the way of people that are making money.

I cannot believe I just wasted post 1,000 on a whiny cunt in a thread started by another one.

This letter could have been sent by ANYONE, being that it's anonymous lost 100% of it's impact imho.

Shit if you don't like the fact your company had some struggles then GTFO, you'll look way more respectable then sending a anonymous pussy letter to Mike South.

If they were buying, they would be lambasted for buying everything. If they are not buying, they get lambasted for not buying.

Pipecrew 12-24-2013 09:55 AM

Has nobody looked at the economics of this?

Don't they have 1200 employees? lets say you bonus everyone with an additional two weeks pay and the average person makes 45k/year. (i am just guessing out of thin air)

That's over 2 million dollars. That's boils down to an additional payroll cycle, and everyone should know, that payroll is often the biggest expense for most companies.

Not too mention, statistically, the highest turnover times for a company are right after the employees receive their bonuses.

This guy wrote to MikeSouth thinking he's a Snowden/Manning, but this is not "whistleblower" material (Edit: while I reply, Mike compares this to Watergate!?). Would any real newspaper publish a letter like this in the headlines, even if it was an Apple or Google employee? No!

Even all is true, what exceptional wrongdoing or huge fail it was disclosed here?
So a company grow from 12 to 1200 people in a few years, hired hundreds of people quickly. Then figured that's too many, so fire a few and limit bonuses. We heard (or experienced) this story thousands times.

A so normal story, that the readers focused on the poor writing style, rather than its "contents". A relevant story would bomb even if wrote in cat meme language, and no one would even point out it waz writ porly.

i'm just busting your chops, south. seems like you like to do that sort of thing also and i like being a mirror on gfy.

tbh, i read your blog, it's difficult at times to get past all the _i told ya so_ and _look at me_ stuff but nevertheless, i do read your writings.

that said, i don't see this anon letter as bernstein and woodward level investigative journalism.

I'm betting that (as in most companies) the people who fucked up with their business plans and caused the "unimportant people" to loses their bonuses and increased their working days got a nice bunce.

Like your job then stay. Don't like it then go somewhere else or work for yourself. Budgeting a "Bonus" as a guaranteed thing into your Christmas expenses is idiotic. Would be like counting on your lottery tickets for next weeks gas expenses. It's not income until it's in your fucking hand :2 cents:

SwirlsGirl 12-24-2013 01:18 PM

all this over x-mas bonuses?

well at least you got your payouts right?

as long as you got your pay check that you worked for you can't cry over a bonus.

That is money that is alotted to corporate wives and mistresses.

peasants do not get bonuses.

Be glad they did not suspend your last christmas paycheck
