This may be a bit like CC's "This or That." But, my scenarios are a bit more detailed. So, I thought I'd give this a try. Again, as always, feel free to include your own ideas for scenarios!

I have two:

1. Would you rather receive a stellar performance review on your job, but receive no raise (due to a temporary budget crisis. Or would you rather get a mediocre review, and receive a cost of living raise?

2. Would you rather start a thread at TVCH that gets a standard response then tapers off. Or would you rather start a thread that goes off like wildfire, but several posters make it their home...to the point you feel slightly like an intruder when you post to the thread.

1. Money is my motivation. I would want the raise, period. If they think I'm so great, they can put their money where their mouths are.

2. Oh I don't know. I guess I don't think out my posts that much. :-)


Good questions!

1. Show me the money! I've had to settle for the excellent review/no money a couple of times. Job reviews go into the file, never to be seen again (unless you really mess up and they're trying to get rid of you). A pay raise shows up twelve times a year for as long as you're there AND there's that little thing called compound raises...

2. I don't think I've ever started a thread, so even one response would thrill me!

1. I'd like the raise. :)

2. I'd rather it get a good response. I don't think I'd feel like an intruder if it was hijacked either. I'd probably either make an attempt to get it back on track or just jump in and join the party!

1. Money is not a motivator for me. I would like to know that I was doing a good job. If it was for sure a temporary budget crisis, I'm sure I would be rewarded later for a job well done.

2. I would love to start a thread that took off like wildfire. But to have that happen I would have to start somewhere and they would probably be dud threads. I have never felt like an intruder to any thread that I felt like commenting on here at the TVCH.

1.Show me the money any ole time....

2. I would rather start a thread that took off like wild fire. It would feel great to see everyone having a good time with it. An intruder...I don't think that it would bother me.

Show me the money.

I'd like to have a good enough idea to even start a thread.... But I have felt like an outsider in some threads.

I rather not be a "thread-killer" like I must be.

1. the deciding factor here is "temporary budget crisis". I would "temporarily" be happy with the good review but expecting the raise as soon as the company is flush again.

2. Hey, if I had an idea good enough to give enjoyment to others then by all means, let them run with it.

1. Money please, that is compliment enough.

2. BigD, don't worry we all feel like thread killers once in a while. I started the "Who wants to quit smoking with me" thread and it has been going for almost 2 years now. Sometimes I feel neglectful of it like I have an obligation to keep it going but there are so many helpful people there now that I just pop in once in a while. It seems that the newly quit smokers when they are sure of themselves jump right in and give hints and encouragement to the people trying to quit. I am very happy with the way this thread works, you get the encouragement you need and when you succeed you give back.

1. No applause, just throw money.

2. The few threads I started quickly crashed & burned. No biggie.

1. Since the budget crisis is temporay, I'd rather get the good review.

2. Last thread I started was modded out of existance in less than 2 days, so I guess I'm not qualified to answer this question.

Great responses all!

BigD, I've killed more threads here than I can remember!

Just in case people still want to respond to the first two, I'll number the next one(s) starting at 3.

3. Would you rather live in a beautiful area, with everything you need (shopping, entertainment, etc), and never travel further than 25 miles of where you live. Or would you rather live in a run down dump, but once a year you get to travel anywhere in the world, first class, high end hotel, the works.

4. Would you rather instantly become your ideal body weight, and be able to maintain that for the rest of your life no matter what you ate. Or would you rather get $5,000 a month for the rest of your life.

1. I'd rather get a rave review. It may not be an increase in salary right away, but it will pay off in the long run, by way of promotion or offer of a better job.
2. Doesn't matter either way.
3. I'd rather live in a beautiful area (which I think I do!), that way I could "vacation" every day!
4. $5,000 a month for the rest of my life. If I really put my mind to it, I could lose whatever weight I would need to, but in my profession and area, doubt I could receive that every month without killing myself in overtime.

1. I'd rather have a good review, too.
2. This has happened..LOL
3. I live this life now..so I take the beautiful area.
4. My heart tells me to pick the weight, but I'll take the money and go to a nice gym.

1. The great review, it would be worth more in the long run.
2. I've never started a thread, so not sure.
3. The beautiful area, I'm a homebody anyway.
4. The 5,000/mth - then I could buy a good bod, LOL.

3. Live in the beautiful area. I would hate to live in a dump.
4. I would pick my ideal body weight. I love to eat and that would be a dream to be able to eat anything I want. It would also help my health which makes it a win/win situation.

1. I'd rather have the good review. That would mean more to me than any amount of money.

2. I've never started a thread so I honestly don't know which I would prefer.

3. I'd live in the beautiful area.

4. I'd rather be my ideal body weight because then it's possible I'd be healthier. All the money in the world is nothing if you're not healthy enough to enjoy it....or enjoy giving it away.

3. I'd rather live in a beautiful area. That way everyday would be a holiday.

4. Once again show me the money....

3. I love to travel. I'd love the once a year first-class trip. I could deal better with less-than-perfect surroundings knowing I'd have a treat once a year. I would HATE never going more than 25 miles from home.

4. The cash, the cash, the cash, the cash. I'll worry about my body weight.

3. I'd rather live decently than travel well.

4. I'd rather eat.

3. As much as I love to travel, I wouldn't want to live in "a dump."

4. Ideal body weight. I can earn the money, but I cannot resist potato chips! LOL
