What am I missing? Isn't it a nonissue anyway since we are all classified as at-will employees. They can fire us for no particular reason and we can also quit without a reason. My feeling is they have a lot of lawyers trying to justify their billing.

An agreement that you will never
try to sue them.
License agreement
How about paying for the license agreement for the software that is needed?
I'm in agreement, but how bad of a manager
3 jobs. How on earth would they even be able to manage anything? I would have to assume that management is nonexistent for the people under that manager at those companies!
In total agreement
with the poster who stated that being overweight, most of the time is due to overeating because of emotional issues. I am such a person. I am 160 pounds overweight and emotional issues led to my overeating. Surgery will not take these issues away. I was 200 pounds overweight. I have been undergoing counseling and have joined Nutrisystem, where I also receive a lot of support. A long haul? Yes, but I would much rather go this route, then risk my life in a surgery with no definite outcome.

MTs can make the $$ exactly how you stated using expanders. I also stay in one specialty field with the same dictators... but you must be focused on your work and with no expense on gas or clothes, that all adds up to money in your pocket.
Of course it is a breach of the confidentiality agreement.
But what can you do about it? Absolutely nothing. We have no way of knowing the identities of these individuals. There is no way to enforce it, especially when most of the MTs work from home. It would be a totally different scenario if two MTs work at the company and are overheard discussing matters that should not be discussed. All the MTSOs can do is to maintain our company standards and follow them to the letter, i.e. x amount per line based on x number years of experience and try not to deviate from it.
She might have had him sign a confidentiality agreement. Did you ask her about it?
You signed nothing? Not even a HIPAA agreement? I would think she sm
would be in hot water over that. Generally, you sign the HIPAA agreement and the contract at the same time. DId you talk about pay at all and make a verbal contract?
I agree with everyone else. Until some sort of pay is establishied, I wouldn't work anymore, PLUS, not sure I would want to work there anyway with all of the phone calls and drama that you described. It sounds like you would be signing up for a duty in Hell.
I'm sorry you have gone through all of this. Good luck to you.
Read the fine print in the agreement - sm
I am very upset about it because I was told when I signed up that MT was not a problem, but if you read through the agreement, it clearly states that if they determine you are using the service for anything other than normal residential usage, based on what other residential customers use, they will change your plan to the talk 30 plan, which for me would cost about $60 dollars/day to use. I have also heard of other MTs being given pretty large bills. Honestly, I can't sleep at night!
I put a blurb about not contacting until a mutual agreement is met. nm

What kind of agreement is it? They didn't tell me anything about that when I talked with them.
TIA.
The agreement is too broad in scope. It does not give you a
mile range limit on where you can work, therefore it is most likely unenforceable. Some states like Arizona have limited these contracts with regard to the medical profession, i.e., a case with a physician with a noncompete clause. They said the area was too broad and the MD could not make a living, therefore was too restrictive. Check out information in what state you are, but from what I see, it would be hard to enforce this contract.
Why did they send you a confidentiality agreement just to take the test?
In agreement with the above, sitting working on work
is just beyond what it should be. In earlier years I worked 2 jobs but each job paid every 2 weeks. One job paid 1 week, the other the next so my check each and every week was for 2 week pay period. How sweet was that! Now if I have a few hours downtime for no work it is fine, just take off, can make it up, don’t have to if I don’t want but very few times this happens and I only have a partime job now.
Not a single soul here works for CIT? Did you sign a confidentiality agreement or something?! :) nm
