There’s going to be something new from PPP. Apart from the 1K Tuesday I wrote previously, they’re now throwing in a Wednesday special. How special? Special ops targetting non-US posties only. Now, it’s all too easy to arrive at the conclusion when the word non-US posties crop up and automatically think good news for the Malaysian posties. The fact is, it is basically US vs the rest of the world. Apart from the US posties, you have the European, Australian, Canadian and whatever country in between vying for the extra Wednesday ops.

Now, the amount thrown out is not exactly drawing oohs and gasps… I think it’s an extra USD250 from PPP in the form of 2 USD50 ops and one USD150 op. That’s beside my point. The post written by Ted (PPP boss) announcing the Wednesday deal did gave the impression the extras were thrown in, in view of the recent segmentation decision. Segmentation of posties meant advertisers now have the choice of targeting their audience by allowing or disallowing posties from certain countries to write for them.

Personally I have no problem with the segmentation thing. It’s the advertisers’ money so it’s their call. Nothing I can bitch about.

Now, I don’t want to sound I’m too easy, but then in all honesty, tell me if you’re one of the non-US postie you don’t feel good being appreciated? Don’t bitch to me about the amount. Yeah, it’s not big. But then how many bosses you’ve worked with in real life actually give a damn when you complain? It’s the thought that counts.
