I am royally ticked....
First my girlfriend gets one of these Philipines calls from market Force, offering her an assignment 35 miles away to do a 12 hour reset and inventory on cards at a store. We ask how much they are willing to pay... The outstanding reply.... $8 for the completed assignment! Not an hour... No drivetime or mileage added.... Just $8.00 for the completed assignment. I told them we have gone and done these assignments before, but we require a different sum, and we told them the amount we have been paid to go this distance before... They say they cannot pay mileage, they can only pay the $8.00 for the completed assignment.
I called MF(good acronym, BTW) and pressed the usual "4" to get to scheduling.... I get a new recording that said there is nobody to take my call, and it wouldn't even let me leave a phone number... I called HelpDesk, and was told, "Yes, we are using an office in the Philipines to schedule our jobs now." I told them what occurred within the call, and was told that I must be mistaken. I told them that I was not that it was confirmed several times during the call, and I asked to have my number placed on "Do not call" from any and all out of the country schedulers. I was told it would be done. My GF and I share a phone number.
Guess who got a call this evening from the Philipines with the same MF offer... OK, get your minds out of the gutter, MF stood for Market Force. lol
Yep you got it.... ME!!! And the exact same offer they gave my GF earlier!!! $8.00 for the completed assignment and no travel fees... I told them, "Maybe in the P{hilipines, you don't have to pay for gas, and you work for $0.50 an hour, but I don't and neither does my GF. You need to look at what I usually get paid to go that far out before making insulting offers to me."
They say, "Ok hold on and let me look." They come back on the line saying, "Yes we see you used to get bonuses for making this run, but we cannot do that anymore... Oh, wait... I see you don't take calls from the Philipines........"
Can you say "Awkward?" I then yelled, "Then why waste my time and yours with these insulting offers." and slammed the phone down.
This is getting worse and worse. I filed a complaint with MF's VP over this BS. I hope they fire these I D TEN T's (IDIOTS)
