Why would there be a mailing

do not feel compelled to answer an e-mail that has other MT names in it.  If it is directed right at you, then answer when you get the chance.  Don't feel nailed to the computer. 

Now if they are using IM, that is a different story.  Instant messenger is control in my honest opinion and as an IC should not be part of the deal. 

If you know your accounts in and out you may want to stay and just ignore some of the e-mails that get you hot and bothered.

I also am an IC for an online company that does mass e-mails when there is work to be done, but it is not directed right at me but to all MTs on that particular account.  I do not feel the need to answer each and every e-mail unless I am the only addressee.  Of course, you may not know if they are blind copying, but just my opinion.

they are using but it has never gotten to me under 10 days and like I said that's after being mailed late the day of payday.  So now when others tell me they mail their paychecks, I either turn down the job or  don't even bother testing for the job.  I am not in a position to be paid like that.  I think that's the case for most people at the moment.

However, I am still looking.

and xeroxing as if you were sitting there with no work.
