After a week of no work and no pay, I finally logged onto the company website today, and was excited and happy to finally find work to do. I planned to work the whole day, getting in as many hours as I could because I knew that tomorrow I would only get two hours at the most. I was happily zipping along, and glad to be working again, and BOING...after only one and a half hours of working, I received the dreaded message "NO MORE WORK AVAILABLE. CONTACT SUPERVISOR FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS". I just about popped a vessel! But then calmed myself down and thought maybe they were just slow at scanning and downloading new papers, and kept checking back.
After about an hour of this, I checked the company main page and it said that the project I was working on was completed and finished! Isn't that just dandy for them?
I am already signed up for the next project that starts on May 8th. I will give it another shot, but it's the same bullcrap as this project was, it's not worth another minute of my time and aggravation.

Are you starting to get the imprint of the keyboard permanently imbedded in your forehead yet?
I can't believe how frustrating that job has ended up being for you. Yikes!!! I'll bet it takes an enormous amount of self-restraint not to turn the air blue whenever you talk to them!
laa -
I turn purple with restraint, actually! I have to keep telling myself these are my employers. If this was any other business I would be giving them a blunt piece of my mind and tell them to shove it.
I just got an email asking me to accept or decline a June project, this time paid per paper I score. hmmm. That sounds a bit like there could be benefit for them, and no benefit to me! I am on to their little schemes now and find it hard to trust them anymore.
I will do the May project, then if all goes well, this June project, but I have pretty much decided...three strikes and they are out. I don't have to drive anywhere, and is just costing my time, so will give them a couple of chances. Hopefully this first project was just unusually fast and easy.
