also, supposedly they have 132 employees according to this site, other sources say between 50 and 200. So they surely have enough employees to keep things running smoothly if they wanted to

Maybe if you add in the Canadian offices of Taffi, but otherwise 132 feels a bit high.  Why?  Because if you Google Map DAZ's Salt Lake City location,  you can see that there are at least five other business sharing the same building and, checking a SLC commecial leasing resource site, I can see that at the last update a good bit of the building was currently vacant, including two full floors, while the building's facilities also include an Atrium and a fitness center.  With that in mind, also consider that are only approximately sixty parking spaces adjacent to the building, and while there IS a parking structure across the street, there are also a ton of other business directly adjacent that are also using it..  So, given that we're repeatedly told no one is in the offices overnight or on weekends, I don't see where they'd have room for that many people, so my guess is that the SLC office is probably closer to  60 people than 100.

Does working from home happen in the computer business in the US? It does in the UK, and as a result many businesses get rid of their premises and freeload utilise the office space in people's homes. Means busnesses can have lots of staff yet have a small building.

One large manufacturing company I work with has 7000 office staff nominally based at a site, while they only have 1500 desks which are booked by the day. A number of the people I work with have never entered the site they are nominally based at, all inductions, training & contacts are done online.

just checked their linkedin as well, which also shows 131 employees. so i would assume that number is pretty accurate. I'm sure a lot of people work remotely too. But none of it matters really. My point was just that they are not a small operation, they have enough employees that things should be running smoothly, at least as smooth as renderosity, and yet here we are day after day, week after week with the same issues.

The main "outlet" generally run all month, so it's not a huge deal.

Everyone's situation is different. For some, it's not a big deal. For others like me on a weekly budget, it makes ballancing my purchaes more difficult, and as Daz website reliability diminshes, so too does my wekly budget.

Maybe with MakeTafi included, but Daz itself is a very small portion of that.
