So if you didn't get a tee time, maybe a Villages employee did. The person in the pool next to you may get the use of the pool as part of their compensation package.

Can't do anything about it, but I don't know if it quite sits right with me.

What are your thoughs?
This had to be a miscommunication from the guy who doesn't live in TV, but seems to know so much about it! LOL! (I don't mean you, Dirigo, in a later post you mentioned a guy from Leesburg).

My husband has worked for one of the businesses in TV for two years (a biz owned by TV) and, trust me, he does NOT get any special perks...nor do the other 40-odd people he works with. They are LUCKY if they get paid over minimum wage.

His pension covers the regular monthly expenses, the little TV job pays for our extras: eating out, going to movies, traveling up north to see the family, etc.
