    Apologies, but does the header of this thread state not to mention the clients name... since when have we been unable to mention the Co. name??? I am with owlet on this.. angel didn't mention a client name so why bite her head off? she was following the rules of the forum and didn't give out any confidential details. I think constantly moving the goalposts is getting confusing...

    I have to agree. I don't see why we should stop posting alerts for Abai either as long as we are discreet with the client descriptions. Surely the MS companies benefit from the alert threads as well as us shoppers as it means jobs are snapped up much quicker than if only a small minority are aware of them.

    i hate that phrase too grrrrrrr :mad: what the hell does it mean?! well done, i have done 5 jobs and still got 4 pharmacy reports to do. putting it off but got a massive audit to do tomorrow now so need to crack on! :(
    Am also putting off writing pharmacy reports, better get on with it I guess. I've had 2 of them clock me as a mystery shopper because I looked at their badges, must remember not to do that so visibly!

    It's about time the mentally challenged realised that in theory any MS company that thinks their confidentiality is being compromised could CLOSE THIS THREAD :eek:

    I doubt it would happen but for the majority of newbies on here to be denied a useful source of info by a minority of dumb*$$e$ would be a crying shame.

    I suggest some people read their original contracts and take heed.

    Not a boss, nor in charge, just using common sense.
    Oh get over it. ALL the companies' confidentiality is compromised to some extent by the Alerts thread. Anyone that cares to know could see from here which clients they have. But the thread has been running for years as far as I can see.

    I do agree that the amount of people who come on here and mention client names has increased and need's addressing, however angel mentioned a company name and if it can't be mentioned on here then it shouldn't be mentioned on the alerts thread either. I think someone needs to make a decision. Personally I avoid mentioning client/company names/fee's/reimbursements and don't post alerts.. hopefully I can stay out of trouble that way....

    I've done 10 pharmacy reports in the last 3 days!
    Not been clocked yet - although one said she did but she didn't!
    I thought they weren't too bad but it was annoying with the comments when you said No.

    Just debating whether it's worth doing 2 jobs on Monday - 20mile round trip, just over £20 fee (have not stated fee just round about figure ;))

    Hi guys,

    I have just joined RE and completed my first assignment today. I am still on 'probationary' and have accepted 2 jobs for the weekend but after reading the FAQ's it looks like I shouldn't have been able to accept until I am upgraded to 'active'. Does anyone know how this should work and if I am OK to proceed with the new assignments?
    Cheers :)

    tbh i dont mention names, fees etc... only because i agreed not to when i signed up.

    dont actually think it will lead to companies finding out who competitors shop and how much they pay etc...... if say re want to know who abai shop they will just sign up as a shopper rather than !!!! about reading threads and scratch their heads in puzzlement at what the hell is a school pencil shop! :rotfl:

    Hi

    I have done 2 jobs with them this week and still probationary - guess I need to wait for them to be proof read before status will change.

    Although I just mentioned a roundabout fee - I didn't mention the job or the company so don't see how that can be breaching confidentiality or am I missing something?
