Unfair Advantage With Jobulator

by Melanie Raney

Jan 26, 2012

I am concerned that Jobulator, especially mobile, will not be good for all employees==The technology is forcing us to buy telephones to support Jobulator or lose out on obtaining jobs. The feedback has also not been good. As a long term teacher/user I feel both irritated and concerned about this whole mess. I say mess because initially Jobulator was by choice and when Apps go into use many of us will suffer loss of income needlessly. Please contact me if you feel the same way and think contacting the PESG corporate office could help. Thanks==

MD I agree with you... It does suck to have to pay to get jobs. I was against signing up for jobulator initially, but then I wasn't getting many jobs unless I sat at my computer all the time. I then signed up for the free 1 month trial. I worked a ton in February! It was nice to hear my computer "ding" with the sound of a job. It's a pain to fly throu...See More

John I am resolved to buy Jobulator after a couple of substitutes have told me it is well worth the fee. Also I hopefully will not have to get up at 4 am to check for posted jobs. I have yet to meet another sub who is not negative with PESG. At the initial meeting they emphasized we are "at will employees," but the way they treat their employees is just...See MoreI am resolved to buy Jobulator after a couple of substitutes have told me it is well worth the fee. Also I hopefully will not have to get up at 4 am to check for posted jobs. I have yet to meet another sub who is not negative with PESG. At the initial meeting they emphasized we are "at will employees," but the way they treat their employees is just the kind of behavior that forms unions. I have never worked for an employer before where I have no idea what any of the officials look like.
