I did search the archives for OSi but didn't see anything recent.

Everybody now knows and they have admitted to outsourcing overseas...so why are they allowed to post of that's the rule of the boards?

They get in a bind??  I don't know, but I get so many emails wagging the finger about how flexing was okay yesterday when the work was low (meaning nonexistant for many of us), but today we are building up, so if you have time to make up, do it now!  And then if 3 days on down the road a bonus comes up, you don't qualify because you don't have your hours/lines in.  So confusing...and somewhat unreasonable when you are a real person with a real family and other comittments besides being chained to your desk for a paycheck!! And please do not bash, I have a total of 6 backup accounts. 

Why is it when someone disagrees they are one of the chosen?  I think this is absurd.  I listened and do follow the rules and when I take my work I do it and then return for more .. the weekend is usually when those who do not follow rules throw their work back and the rules are set up specifically so that you know when you can go and pick any work that is available and not have to worry about preferred and selected and whatever.  After 20+ years in this business I have learned that worrying about what everyone else is doing or has for work has never helped me one iota.  Any service that does clinic work has a slow day and does it not make sense that if practices are closed on weekends that Monday is going to be a slow start with low work volume?  And, for the record, I was promised nothing, asked for the rules and follow them and work my schedule and extra is asked.  I do what is there for me and I don't think of myself as working only for certain dictators.  I do it all.  Some I like better than others but as an IC I understand how the work flow goes and pretty much it is the same from one place to the next. 

Additionally, I have another part-time job to pick up the slack.  A little planning on your part might be in order.  At tax time you would be glad to find it to your favor not to have just one client as an IC. 

this sudden embracing of offshoring came immediately after it became public that Transcend is now offshoring?  First, it seemed that the posters who said this weren't believed and proof was requested.  Then came the sudden embrace of offshoring.  I've noticed other posts on this board where there seemed to be preference shown to Transcend for some unknown reason.

Maybe, rather than lowering standards and doing all this embracing, -- just MAYBE -- it might be time to come clean and just admit that a company might not be as great as some people think it is and that maybe -- just MAYBE -- unhappy employees of that company who posted here in the past were telling the truth, like myself, only to have my honesty questioned by the administrator, who then went on to track the ISP numbers of the people who also expressed their problems with the company.

Now if I'm banned for noticing and expressing this, then that only proves to speak louder than this post ever could.

I am disappointed in CyMed.  They don't pay for spaces and it is very, very hard to get a line count for me.

Has anyone noticed that lately, once an MT has signed the offer papers for a company to be an employee, (that is formally accepts offer), the wind turns cold? Lack of communication all of a sudden, no updates on training, late training, late equipment and the like?  This MT has had this happen on at least 2 occasions of late.  The first time, ignored and put up with it.  Stayed with company. Okay job but not much work.  Now, same thing again, miscommunications re: start date, difficulty getting anything pinned down.  The other day this MT was highly regarded, now the papers are signed and seems like all of a sudden this MT is in the way.

Deciding to stay with original company and stick things out. But just got an odd feeling about it all. Don't have any bad references, or bad work history... anybody else getting the cold shoulder? Just wondering if just becuase I'm paranoid does mean they are not interested in me. LOL. Thanks in advance for your comments. :)

It is like it flew over the Bermuda Triangle.  It disappeared.
