those technical details are the issue in this industry. poor management in most companies. there are no standards...that anyone follows, comparing pay at one company to another is impossible to do. i havent found a company yet that pays legally. i'm getting out, but i'm working on that pay thing even when i'm gone. chaps my hide. they ought get more progressive in dealing with the telecommuting aspect..every other industry has. polices are vague - little intention. finding good is like a needle/haystack task. and one person's experience at a company may not resemble anyone else's. it's enuf to drive a person to drink!
