I used to work for a multiple. I have not become a better person since I left, but I am allowed to practice in a better way without the interference of retail managers.
I left before it was set up but I bet that would be an interesting place to play...
Should we be advertising this forum in the optical press?

I think the answers here show a far less black and white situation.seeR39 wrote:If one admits being in a multiple, one gets called a second class person.
Then ones mode of practice is regularly slagged-off by the loudmouths on here who assert that all multis are sh1t along with their staff.
Might that be why this forum is pretty much irrelevant to the majority of the profession?
seeR39
It has quickly run up interesting polls and hopefully more to come.
A further break down of the most responded choice would be even more interesting.
One only has to look at the Guest numbers to gauge 'outside interest'.
True, this is very approximate and members' log-ins can apparently so appear if timed out .. BUT access is open to all comers.
Maybe you would give us the alternatives' links and say if such offer open access or are restricted to their own 'brand' followers.
We could then judge whether this alone and/or the other forums are ..

Perhaps some are so secret they do not show anywhere and therefore are truly irrelevant to the majority.
Independence is a state of mind. All else follows.
I queried who guests were some time back Hums said they are just random, and cannot view any of the threads.
"hum
You mean at the bottom? I believe alot of these are spambots who just open any of the webpages. These register as a user, even only as a guest, and don't actually have access to the relevant page. In the past, if a load have jumped on theoptom.com site, the users online numbers rocket."

Every post was positive BTW

Yes, which I was never, ever given access to, by accident, by whomever set up my accounts in previous stores
I have therefore never seen the forum so couldn't comment on the total lack of posts about competitors and the focus on sorting out issues within specsavers. Perhaps you should ask one of our resident jointees!
