Never mind, I found the small link near the top. Worse than I expected — I would have thought that the LRV operator position would be a low-drama situation; it’s not a job, or management task, that calls for a lot of innovation or variation — it’s just keep operating the trains reliably, day in and day out, according to schedule and safely. So I would have predicted that it would be neither unusually good nor unusually bad — just a routine, predictable, way of making a living.

Edit: finished reading them, many are more positive. Now I’m not sure what to think. It’s as if the reviews were written by people working for completely different companies.

Most of the positive reviews were before start of service date, and really, most were before the LRT were even testing, at least full steam testing. I noticed that most positives were from those that are not front line, and/or part of team that got the ION up and running (so some temp positions).
