business!! I hate it when people have the hutzpah to ask flat out what someone makes. If they want to volunteer it, fine. But its rude to just ask someone. And if they give you a figure, chances are huge that its bogus. Ask for a pay range - fine. Proper business etiquette. Buts its totally ignorant to just ask someone what they make - a complete stranger - and then get pissed when they POLITELY tell you they don't wanna give you that info. Get professional! You might make more $$.

I know confidential and this is not it. sm
It is MY information. That is like telling me I cannot tell someone what hair color I have. It is MY info, garnered from MY hard work. The money now belongs to me, not the company. If you still have a problem with this, then tell someone what you made last month. That would be YOUR old information, had been your information for a month and should be YOUR information to do with whatever you want.

confidential from yourself??...nm

It is confidential information - here is why.
Not every MT has the same experience level so, those with more experience are paid a better line rate in most instances. It is the MT's responsibility to negotiate or at least try to negotiate their line rate and what line rate they are willing to work for. Not company pays a base rate to every MT or QA person.
This of course is my opinion and the way I do business. Some may agree, some may not, it really doesn't matter. This is the way it is!
Payroll information is confidential information in my book.
Confidential. I'll get it right yet. nm

Confidential to MTSO2
With all due respect.........where will YOU be working when all the jobs are gone??? Do you REALLY think the clients will continue to need a middleman??? I think not. Pity the poor souls who work for you.
Confidential to Paula
I was laid off from Focus QA about a year ago. However, they have reorganized and rehired me recently. The money is great and is much more than the hourly job I used to have. Yes, they do have day shift. They will pretty much work with whatever hours you can work. The team leads are Americans now. Good luck.
It is not confidential information. This was told to you by someone -
in my opinion, you are not breaking confidentiality in any way letting fellow MTs know. It does not say in this post that you work for this small national or you work where the account is supposed to be going. So, if this is true, you are not breaking any confidentiality agreements.
Companies release and gain contracts all the time. Maybe this small national will lose one account but gain another. It happens every day.
I don't think there is any reason for panic or for you to carry a heavy heart, unless you work for one of these 2 companies. Then, you may need to think twice about saying a word.
If you do talk - do not mention names and do not mention the other company.
Again, good luck with whatever you decide.

Confidential? Interesting word to use on this board.
I didn't see anyone's name, nor did I see any specific examples given. This person has the same rights to say what they think or feel, just as an MT does.
What info is in that email that is confidential or private?

In my opinion what you make is confidential and I have seen people get fired for discussing rates.
That all goes along in confidentiality agreements. I am in agreement with you though..it really is not anyone's business. If they want to know, they need to ask the company. The company will probably tell them.
May not be confidential information but gossip/rumor at this point and no employer likes that.

If you don't know what is confidential, you have no business being in any business.
This is confidential information and should not be divulged. It is one of the biggest problems a co can have. If you have to ask...well I won't be able to explain it to you
