As an IC, I am my own boss. That may be where your problems arise.

Hi, Thanks for your input. I did get a chance to read it before the deletion. I am searching again __________  . I really wish I could find a place, where the pay is decent, with benefits, enough work and where the staff responds to account related questions. I am so tired of testing, thinking I have found the perfect place and then....................... Sorry just needed to vent a little.
Have a good Day!
Now our ILPs can be our bosses!!
Search the archives here, nothing but grim reaper news. This is an Indian company who wants to control it all in India.
I am going to thank my bosses for my paycheck sm
I work for TT and another, PT IC job so I am not totally sunk with taxes. One way and another, I have managed to put the 2 schedules together and survive, both my energy and my time. TT is sending out a thank you gift check. My other boss called this morning to ask if I had gotten my card because I had not thanked her for it, and she gave me credit for having the good manners to say thank you. No, I have not been to the post office to pick up my mail, but today for sure.
I told her she didn't have to do that, but that I really appreciate it. She said that THEY appreciate ME, and this was a pleasure to do for me. WOW.
I really, truly feel that this has been the best year of my MT career. I have cleared $40K and I have not worked myself sick as I have in the past. I have been able to pay every single bill and on time. I could have asked for TT to pay part of my internet, but I have not bothered because of the IC situation and my taxes. I have benefits through them and the security of knowing that if my appendix were to rupture, or my gallbladder go gangrenous, I am covered for that whereas I used to worry a lot. I have eaten anything I wanted to all year, plenty of good, fresh vegetables that have kept my energy up and my weight down. I have had new items of clothing, but my tastes are not for high-priced things.
I sit here today in a warm house when it is below zero outside. My hands have typed for that. I have warm, newer clothing including some new heavy socks for my ever cold feet. My hands have typed for that. My frig is reasonably well stocked and my pantry is full. My hands have typed for that. The dog's cookie jar is full of treats and she is a happy little thing. My hands have typed for that. I was able to be generous with children this Christmas and with a dear friend in need. My hands have typed for that.
I count myself very very blessed. I am busy with MT and QA work, and keeping my house by myself, which was an adjustment after my wonderful daughter left for college. I am busy with a handful of wonderful, loving and caring friends. I am so busy (and frankly happy) to sit and complain about what I don't have.
I know that many of us are going through some very hard times. We are not different from other industries in that way. I look at some of you talk about eating out for entire weekends, or buying expensive gifts for your families at Christmas. I listen to complaints about the price of food and whining about the price of Triscuits, when that isn't food. I wonder where your heads are at. I wonder what your priorities are. I wonder why more people don't have an attitude of gratitude. I had to find that attitude and keep a firm grip on it. Guess what? I had more and more to be grateful for!
So glad you got paid!! If the owners and bosses come here
to read what is being said...well... I think that is sad. I get a picture of them sitting at their desks laughing about how difficult they can make our lives just on a whim. Maybe I am wrong but why did they wait until you were at your wits end over this? Sad stuff.
Work is abundant. Bosses are great!
They are very flexible with your schedule and they pay on time. Emdat is easy to learn. I was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and they worked with me. They assured me I would not lose my job. I got on when I could, and for that I am eternally grateful. I have since left but I know if I called and asked for some work, they wouldn't have a problem. :-)
