What the market bears

While it is totally ridiculous, unnecessary and downright illegal for her to micromanage ICs like this, the main cause of the problem is that other ICs are jumping to her call, tolerating and enabling her behavior.  Obviously, the only cure for this type of control over ICs is for ICs to stand up and refuse to tolerate it any longer.  It seems that the only choice you really have is to tolerate it or find another position. 

Again, the real source of the problem here is the other ICs who are allowing her to treat them as employees.  You shouldn't feel obligated to respond.  However, if other ICs are jumping to her call and running the account out, you are stuck if the account dries up and work is not available during the hours that you chose to work.  If it is possible to report her anonymously, I'd say go for it; however, reporting her may not actually change her behavior.

Such a simple words, but when put together like that they just make so much darned sense.  Head 'em up and move 'em out.  Lots better pasture out there. 

I've been looking for work for a couple of weeks now and haven't had much in the way of offers.  The few offers I have had have been really low cpl, like 5-6 cpl for subcontractor positions. 

Keystrokes appears to be hiring and I've heard they have good line rates.  They hire only employee, no IC from what I've been told.  But, you may want to give them a try.
