  • They're not known for their consistency. Just be thankful you're getting paid! Let's face it an RE job going into the next run isn't gonna make or break anyones bank balance! :rotfl:

    Of the two it would have to be the restaurant one though wouldn't it.
  • !!!!!! is going on with the egg jobs? My area had all disappeared by the end of today - assumed some nut job had taken them all.

    They have now reappeared as 'new' jobs -this got me excited as thought they may have seen sense and re-instated the reimbursement. No such luck...... :(


    Anyone else seeing the same thing happen? Do jobs always come back on as 'new' jobs if people drop them? Can't say I've noticed before..

    I mentioned the same thing the other day. Normally mind are there for ages and slowly trickle off. But i logged on and most are gone.

    I don't care. saves avoiding phone calls
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    Has anyone done the Bare jewellery phone calls? Just looked at the questionnaire and it seems like a lot of work for the fee, or does it just seem like that?

    Just seems that way, though could be my scenario was a shorter length of enquiry? Did mine earlier at 14:52. Call took a couple of minutes. Questionairre finished 15:06. Not a bad hourly rate.:D

    In that case email or ring them tomorrow. It could be something to do with when the client pays them or it could be something like they pressed the wrong button... Worst they can say is no you're not getting it until the second run :)

    Thanks, will give it a go. At least there were no proofreading queries which is a result. Mel and her protege must be on holiday.

    Don't count your chickens!! One of mine was apparently proofread and approved for pay in record time. Four days later, I got the "how does it make you feel when we keep asking you how it makes you feel?" email.;)

    Or they're being held hostage by an unhappy shopper :rotfl:

    I might have thought maybe they'd been on a course and came back with some sense but I really doubt it :)
  • OK, help me out here.

    RE

    Report proof-read at 9:45pm tonight - payment goes into the one for 25/2
    Report proof-read at 9:55pm tonight - payment goes into the one for 10/3

    Different companies will deal with reports differently and therefore take a shorter/longer period of time to authorise payment to RE themselves so this is probably the main factor!!

    I did wonder if RE had some kind of cash flow problem and were asking all of these proofreading questions to delay payment into the next run. Might explain the big reimbursement beig held too. Although I can't believe RE are struggling.

    In that case I will happily donate the reimbursement to the cause.
