TBH, I've not seen a lot of anything on RA for a while now.

I just see loads of jobs with rubbish fees. Even the newbies don't want them :rotfl:

I had a report from MF flagged up and the proof reader just wrote 'please explain' with no reference to which question is it about!

I just replied back asking them to what question are they on about. It could be one of 10 questions!

Anyone had vague remarks from proof readers?

Nothing but from MF. I once ha a description queried, I wrote - Female, 5'7", long brown hair in a ponytail and no glasses.

The query was how tall was the member of staff...

I had a recent request from MF, asking for further explanation on one of the questions, but I had to scroll down on their message to find out which question it was.

I found their message 'window' to be a bit on the small side.

I've had MF tickets of the 'please explain' (no reference as to what) variety. Combined with the new stipulation that receipts must now be scrawled with the job code, this points towards increased automation in their business processes. I suspect some of those bizarre tickets are raised by computer rather than person, and that the receipt scrawling is so they can automate a person or process that used to do this.

Presumably they've cut our cloth so far, the only way to sustain the modern day fallacy of eternally increasing returns is to cut their own.

I'd like to think there's no way they could cut 'our' premiums any further whilst still getting people to carry out their assignments.

When I started MSing, MF made up between 20 - 25% of my monthly assignments.

This month, I've only done 1 job for them so far.

Oh I do like taking premiums from dozy companies.

For the last three weeks I have told BARE that I will in a certain town on a Wednesday and can do the two jobs that have been there for a month, each time they have knocked me back.

I'm doing them tomorrow for 4x the fee plus fuel because the deadline is Thursday. ESA are paying a premium for a visit on the way too which is a result.
