Yes, that is true and was told that I did not have a job at the other company they thought I was going back to. They thought I was going back to a job that they are affiliated with, but I did not. So, all the hard work that went into them trying to black list me did not work.

Blacklisted
Not good enough how? Slavewise perhaps or BS tolerance isn't high enough?

The other day when this all started I refused to believe it but

yesterday I got a file back for QA review that was not mine that has the initials that were given the other day. My heart instantly sank. The file was huge, much bigger than I thought we were allowed to send in and what was underlined was quite a bit, more than I would ever dream of leaving in my own work. To me it confirmed by worst fears. I too thought about calling the office, but I really doubt we would get the truth if we have not received word about it up front. I came to this company because of its reputation. You never saw anything bad about them. I have no idea if there are truly money troubles, but it does appear that way based on how things were to how they are. It is all really sad, but to me I am carrying a firm belief at this point that it must be true.

Then, I was told they called the other company I as going back to and I would not be allowed to go back there either. Lucky for me, I had 2 jobs already.

They flat out refused to take out mine.

One of the many reasons I quit. (Obviously, from the posts on this board, I quit just in time.)

My condolences to those of you who were treated badly.

i refused to accept a position
based upon their equipment, just for reasons like you stated. Not only cannot make money, but it makes your work-life miserable trying to cope with it. I'd rather take less-quality accounts and have easier days...

Maybe things changed since I quit there because I refused to buy
the equipment. It is not just a router, it has to be a Cisco router, Cisco modem, etc. And don't fall on the floor when you see the length of the gross lines, lol.

If everyone refused to do cesspool, they would change it fast!

Non-compete clauses in contracts. Has anyone refused to sign this and still got the job? nm

ExecuScribe wants employees to take a psychiatric test. How creepy. I refused! sm
These companies want to know your psych. I think that is privacy invasion, and I don't need a job that bad! That was the last test they had me take. I would have never bothered with them if I knew that in the beginning. What a waste of time!
