Pity we have to depend on hope, especially when MF fees are at slave labor levels. I received a call from a scheduler on Friday, hoping I'd take a job. I asked about being paid and she told me she just received a direct deposit payment and for me to keep checking my bank. When they start blatantly LYING, you know the worst is still to come.
They do not call me, I do not call them, and wouldn't it be freaking interesting if any private clients I have were my customers before they even existed? Seriously, if you owned a business and contracted with a MSC wouldn't you want to know for a fact exactly what is and is not true?
Fear not, you who depend on hope, eyes are watching, ears are listening, and the fiddler will be paid, the fat lady will sing, cows do not jump over the moon, and little dogs have no interest in such sport as dishes jumping over spoons. Getting results is sometimes time consuming, maybe too much so. For instance, I was recruited something over a year ago by a MSC to help regarding problems a certain client had. Bluntly put, the MSC and my efforts were and are being literally ignored by the client, and after a call from client Corp. HQ I bluntly told 'em that I was not interested in wasting my time when nothing improved. The MSC has known this from inception, my patience was and is at an end, and I've told both that I'm the expert and will not waste my time if results are not forthcoming. What next is up in the air.
There, I've hinted regarding private clients I've had for decade(s), said what I do, and while I'm happy to help a MSC with a difficult client, or a client with a difficult MSC, or all sorts of stuff, I'll not waste my time spinning wheels and accomplishing nothing.
Let's all be polite, truthful, and helpful, I'm sure our moderator would like that. As per getting paid by so and so, I've dropped enough hints already, and suggested replacement ideas for consideration with board member(s) and counsel. Of course, I make no decisions at the level required, I only provide the data.
So sorry I can't flesh out the details, but then, so many people like to hide in shadows and think they can get away with stuff they should not even consider. Oops, may not be too smooth a move if certain eyes are watching and ears are listening!
Chin up, folks, somehow I think things will get better, or else, they'll be made better.
