Disclosure: Never shopped that company. BUT.....'banding together' and not doing shops is fine......but you can't get the whole free world to participate. Ahem. Cough. Now I'll write a short fairy tale....
Once upon a time there was a company that promised payment in return for work rendered. And then that company didn't pay. It wasn't just a one time thing but rather multiple times to multiple people.
SO......10,15,20 people decided to ACCEPT shops, especially from the same client and the MSC thought all would be well. But then......bam bam bam bam the reports were either never completed, or sent in with deliberately poor information.
Then the company had to scramble to get the shops done.
But .....they also lost a client who got sick of late or crappy or missing reports.
And they live happily ever after.
