companies will start filing lawsuits against employees also. It's ridiculous that someone can say they don't care what happens in this case because tomorrow it could be them receiving papers.

Be CAREFUL! Very very careful! Some flaky stuff going on over there...

If you proceed - do so with caution.

Proceed with caution?
What do you know about this company that you are not saying? The name of the company is FASTPHALANGES. What did you not get about that?

proceed with caution
To be fair, when I worked there I really enjoyed my accounts and had a good relationship with my manager. They do have an awesome platform. Then my manager disappeared with no explanation, my good accounts got pulled, and communication really shut down. One day in June my user number was deactivated, and it took me all day to find out I was laid off. There is so much turmoil there now, and many US MTs have been poorly treated. I would be careful. Give them another year or so to stabilize and get their act together, then maybe things will be different (if they survive that long). Best of luck to you!

Proceed with caution...
I keep getting those emails, too, because I applied with them quite awhile back, passed the testing, but declined their offer. Once I started reading many of the posts on this wonderful forum, I was relieved I had passed on their offer.

Please read the archives before you make any decisions regarding Focus. I gather for some, it's a great fit, but the majority of posts I've read here paint a not-so-pretty picture of the company.

Best of luck to you making your decision!!!

Ditto what she said - Proceed with caution! nm

Sorry..put OSI in the Google box on this page, not in your browser bar, and then proceed. nm

Read their contract VERY carefully if you proceed. nm

I'm with you. Proceed with caution basically. Hope for the best and (m)
prepare to have to seek out other avenues. I was raised to be considerate of others at all times and not to screw anybody over, so it's really foreign to me that people would knowingly screw others for their own personal gain. It goes against my DNA to believe such people exist so I have to remind myself not to be a fool and that people like this DO exist. Unfortunately, they weren't all raised by MY parents, lol. But if they treat people like that, eventually they will be TREATED like that and their luck will run out. Then they'll see they shouldn't have been so uncaring about us regular folks.

Did anyone hear from AAmT aka Synthescribe and proceed on..Just curious
how it's going and if your set up to work with them etc. Considering going forward to check it out but wanted to check with others first. Thanks
